Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS' aka BEAST. Presented in September 2011 by researchers Juliano Rizzo and Thai Duong. OpenVAS (GVM) comes with a full set of vulnerability tests for SSL/TLS ( OpenVAS) TestSSL.sh is a free tool that uses only bash and the install SSL/TLS libraries ( testssl.sh) Nmap NSE scripts ( ssl-enum-cipers, ssl-cert) Recent vulnerability releases have taken vulnerability marketing to the next level with dedicated websites, logo's and press releases.

As are other SSL/TLS attacks from recent years including BEAST, CRIME, BREACH, DROWN, FREAK and POODLE. Weak ciphers and known cryptographic vulnerabilities such as the famous Heartbleed are all tested. You can use the sslyze option to test any SSL/TLS enabled service on any port. Using the open source tool sslyze this online SSL scan will test SSL/TLS enabled IP or web address and gather details of the certificate that is being used. OWASP Transport Layer Protection Cheat Sheet The primary benefit of transport layer security is the protection of web application data from unauthorized disclosure and modification when it is transmitted between clients (web browsers) and the web application server, and between the web application server and back end and other non-browser based enterprise components. For this reason popular browsers such as Firefox and Chrome have made it more difficult to bypass SSL/TLS browser warnings. However, many users will not be stopped by certificate warnings in the browser and will simply click past the warning. For general computer users awareness has increased so they might check for the 'padlock' in the browser status bar when browsing secure sites such as Internet banking and email. PCI compliance requires that SSLv2 (and SSLv3) not be used with newer and more secure TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 protocols now the standard.Īs mentioned SSL/TLS can be used for any TCP based service such as FTP, NNTP, SMTP or even Virtual Private Networks (VPN). An example is SSLv2 that has known vulnerabilities and it should not be used. A large number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in different implementations of these encrypted protocols. The most commonly thought of service is web browsers connecting to a web server with HTTPS, but can also be Email ( SMTP / POP) or any other TCP protocol. SSL (and TLS) provide an encrypted communication layer over the network between a client and a service. About the Online SSL Scan and Certificate Check
