Greetings,

 Ok thank you for the information, but i am searching for a way to make a 
query on a remote WebServer (One i don't have acces to)  to know, what are 
the permited encryption on it ?. 

If it is possible to talk to a https server that support 40 bits encryption.. 
So i can tell the client: Your server should support only 128 bits.. 

DO you know of a Script or way to know that ?

Without looking at the Config files? 

 Thank you again for your time,..

 Patrick

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.
