Patrick,

You can specify which levels you would like your webserver to communicate 
at, I'm not sure which webserver your running, so I'll give you an example 
of my ssl.conf for apache.

SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1
#SSLCipherSuite 
ALL:ADH:EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM

As you can see I've modified the original SSLCipherSuite to ensure what I 
feel is a more secure choice.

Hope this helps,
Nick



Greetings,

 I would like to know what are the permited (and deny) encryption Level 
on a 
Web Site.

Nessus tell me that my target host accept 40 bit, 56 bits and 128 bits 
encryptions.. 

I would like to know how that information was obtained?

How can i get that information?(Without using Nessus) In Linux and 
Windows ?

Thank you.
