Re: SSL 2.0 enabled or disabled?

Of course, if you're going to try it that way, it is easier to write a little script that iterates through the list of ciphers that OpenSSL knows about (openssl ciphers) and then use openssl to connect to the server in question with that specific cipher.

Does anyone know of a tool that can scan a web server to determine which version of SSL is being used? nmap? nessus?


This can easily be achieved by simply using a browser, provided that the
browser allows you to define the version of SSL/TLS to use. For example,
in Interner Explorer's Advanced Internet Options one can enable SSL v2
and disable SSL v3 and TLS v1 and try to connect to a website. If the
connection is successful then the web server allows SSL v2. Some
browsers (e.g. Mozilla) go even further and allow you to specify
specific ciphersuites for each SSL/TLS version, making therefore testing
of server SSL/TLS settings easier.
