A very simple way to find out which SSL/TLS ciphersuites are supported by a target.
Cipherscan tests the ordering of the SSL/TLS ciphers on a given target, for all major versions of SSL and TLS. It also extracts some certificates informations. Cipherscan uses the openssl s_client
command line to run the tests.
On Linux x86_64 run: ./cipherscan www.google.com:443 On any other *nix or *tux run: ./cipherscan -o /path/to/openssl www.google.com:443 and watch.
On FreeBSD, you will need the following ports: textproc/gnugrep and sysutils/coreutils
The newer your version of openssl, the better results you'll get. Versions of OpenSSL below 1.0.1 don't support TLS1.2 ciphers, elliptic curves, etc... Version 1.0.2 gives extra information about the ciphers used for the key exchange. Build your own or test what your system's OpenSSL supports.
Cipherscan should work fine on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, Illumos, SmartOS, OpenIndiana if you specify a an openssl binary with -o.
The OpenSSL binary in this repository is built for 64bit Linux. If you wish to build a version with the same features for your own platform, you can use this snapshot from the OpenSSL gitweb view or this Github repository and build it like this:
./config no-shared
make
And get the binary from app/openssl
. (./config
will ask you to run make depend
which will fail - for our purposes this step is not required)
-a | --allciphers Test all known ciphers individually at the end.
-b | --benchmark Activate benchmark mode.
-d | --delay Pause for n seconds between connections
-D | --debug Output ALL the information.
-h | --help Shows this help text.
-j | --json Output results in JSON format.
-o | --openssl path/to/your/openssl binary you want to use.
-v | --verbose Increase verbosity.
Testing plain SSL/TLS:
linux $ ./cipherscan www.google.com:443
