history
Project history and usage
crip is the command-line executable for Certificate Ripper, a small security utility for extracting server certificate chains and exporting them in formats useful to TLS and Java truststore workflows.
Project history
Certificate Ripper appeared as a Java/GraalVM-oriented CLI project in 2021. The official README positions it as a no-OpenSSL certificate extraction tool with native executables in releases and support for HTTPS, WebSocket, mail, FTP, and database TLS endpoints.
Adoption history
Official installation instructions cover GitHub releases, Homebrew, the maintainer's Homebrew tap, and Debian/Ubuntu packaging, with additional community packaging for AUR, Nix, Chocolatey, and Scoop. That makes crip notable less for ecosystem size than for broad binary packaging of a narrowly scoped certificate workflow.
How it is used
Common usage is printing or exporting remote server certificates as human-readable output, PEM, DER, JKS, or PKCS12, including bulk extraction from multiple URLs and proxy-aware operation.
Why package nerds care
For package indexes, crip is a compact example of a JVM project distributed as native executables as well as a fat JAR, which reduces the usual Java runtime friction for a CLI security tool.
Timeline
- 2021: Repository created and first public release 0.0.1 published.
- 2021: 1.0.0 release published after early 0.x releases.
- 2022: 2.0.0 release line published.
Related projects
- GraalVM Native Image is used by the documented native executable build path.
- OpenSSL is an implicit comparison point because the README highlights that crip does not require it.
