Some information that may help
So, my automatic moderation bot on my Discord server is created in Python with discord.py, I have set some restrictions on the bot to only allow links immediately that have an exception. When a link is not exempt from the filter and a user posts the link, the bot will request for a human to review to approve the link if:
- The link is verified with an SSL or TLS certificate,
- The link extension is a trustworthy one such as .com, .net, or .org if it is a domain name. If it is a direct IP address, the bot will verify if the IP range is trustworthy.
- FTP server links and links with self-signed SSL or TLS certificates must be exempted from the filter by a staff member in advance.
The link will automatically be denied if it meets the following:
- The link extension is .onion,
- Uses an insecure method of connection such as HTTP,
- The link has been previously marked for phishing, malicious intent, inappropriate content, or scams.
- The SSL or TLS certificate is:
- invalid,
- misconfigured,
- uses an insecure cipher suite or encryption algorithm,
- the integrity or genuineness failed to be verified.
My question
So my question is, would it be possible to make the bot verify the SSL or TLS certificate associated with the link, following the above standards automatically? I want to add this to the filter to prevent users from posting untrustworthy links that may impersonate a genuine website, or spam.
I just require a response that states whether this is possible, any additional information would be unnecessary.
