title: HeartBleed python test script
body: <p>I came across <a href="https://gist.github.com/takeshixx/10107280" rel="nofollow">this Python script</a> that tests the server for the HeartBleed vulnerability:  </p>
  
  <p>Would someone be able to explain the content of the "hello", what is being sent and how was this content constructed?</p>
  
  <p>I am not trying to use this script maliciously. I was asked to test a Tomcat 7.0.2 server for the vulnerability: I verified that tcnative-1.dll does use openssl 1.0.1d, but a few of the standalone test tools that I tried testing the server with report that it is not vulnerable. </p>
