You might try Foundstone's SSLDigger (free) to help verify. It's provides a detail report of actual ciphers used. IMHO: Nessus only identifies surface blemishes with web apps.

Nessus also managed to obtain an internal IP address from the host (which is correct). Only HTTPS is open. However the target host requires basic authentication, and I don't have any credentials to obtain access. I would like to verify these manually, and would usually just use something like wfetch. However, I'm not getting the usual prompt that my encryption is too weak. Instead in the response I can see a message saying the page cannot be displayed. There is also no sign of the internal IP address. Can anyone tell me how they would prove that they are not false positives (I know the IP address is correct, but the client may want to replicate the vulnerability so they can be sure when they go to fix it)? thanks Dan
