Server side cipher ordering

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.

$ ./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 now 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
