CipherScan
==========

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mozilla/cipherscan.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mozilla/cipherscan)

![cipherscan](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPbjvCFW8AAnUK3.png:large)

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, TLS options, OCSP stapling and more. Cipherscan is a wrapper above the `openssl s_client` command line.

Cipherscan is meant to run on all flavors of unix. It ships with its own built of OpenSSL for Linux/64 and Darwin/64. On other platform, it will use the openssl version provided by the operating system (which may have limited ciphers support), or your own version provided in the `-o` command line flag.

Analyzing configurations
------------------------
The motivation behind cipherscan is to help operators configure good TLS on their
endpoints. To help this further, the script `analyze.py` compares the results of
a cipherscan with the TLS guidelines from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS
and output a level and recommendations.

```bash
$ ./analyze.py -t jve.linuxwall.info
jve.linuxwall.info:443 has intermediate tls

Changes needed to match the old level:
* consider enabling SSLv3
* add cipher DES-CBC3-SHA
* use a certificate with sha1WithRSAEncryption signature
* consider enabling OCSP Stapling

Changes needed to match the intermediate level:
* consider enabling OCSP Stapling

Changes needed to match the modern level:
* remove cipher AES128-GCM-SHA256
* remove cipher AES256-GCM-SHA384
* remove cipher AES128-SHA256
* remove cipher AES128-SHA
* remove cipher AES256-SHA256
* remove cipher AES256-SHA
* disable TLSv1
* consider enabling OCSP Stapling
```

In the output above, `analyze.py` indicates that the target `jve.linuxwall.info`
matches the intermediate configuration level. If the administrator of this site
wants to reach the modern level, the items that failed under the modern tests
should be corrected.

`analyze.py` does not make any assumption on what a good level should be. Sites
operators should know what level they want to match against, based on the
compatibility level they want to support. Again, refer to
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS for more information.

Note on Nagios mode:
`analyse.py` can be ran as a nagios check with `--nagios`. The exit code will
then represent the state of the configuration:
* 2 (critical) for bad tls
* 1 (warning) if it doesn't match the desired level
* 0 (ok) if it matches.
cipherscan can take more than 10 seconds to complete. To alleviate any timeout
issues, you may want to run it outside of nagios, passing data through some
temporary file.

OpenSSL
-------

Cipherscan uses a custom release of openssl for linux 64 bits and darwin 64
bits. OpenSSL is build from a custom branch maintained by Peter Mosmans that
includes a number of patches not merged upstream. It can be found here:
https://github.com/PeterMosmans/openssl

You can build it yourself using following commands:
```
git clone https://github.com/PeterMosmans/openssl.git --depth 1 -b 1.0.2-chacha
cd openssl
./Configure zlib no-shared experimental-jpake enable-md2 enable-rc5 \
enable-rfc3779 enable-gost enable-static-engine linux-x86_64
make depend
make
make report
```

The statically linked binary will be `apps/openssl`.
