Too many connections on STARTTLS about sslscan HOT 3 CLOSED

The server is blocking you because you're making too many connections - there's not a huge amount you can do to prevent this. You could try using the --sleep option to pause between requests, which might work. Really depends what criteria the server is using to block you.

Thanks for your reaction. I tried the --sleep option, but it didn't do much other than slowing it down. Isn't there something to fix this? I actually dont have these kind of problems with other tools like SSLyze.

Since #62 sslscan now makes a lot less connections than before (depending slightly on the number of ciphers the sever supports). Combined with --sleep that should work on most servers, and beyond that there's not really much more that can be done.
