Get the man an abacus ! :)

Anyhow . . . While fixing the script - can the (old, deprecated) FIPS
ciphersuites be added ? The ones listed at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ssl/fips-ssl-ciphersuit
es.html ? 

Yes, they're deprecated, but (a) JSSE up to 5.0 allows them to be
specified
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.ht
ml#AppA), (b) Firefox sends them out on its Hello message . . .

Thanks,
Dario

Mak hosed his laptop this week (twice :) ), so he's been 
working on fixing it. He plans to be back in business this 
weekend. I passed the message on, he'll sort it out as soon 
as he can.

I have to get me a t-shirt: "What would Donald Knuth say?" :)

I emailed Mak 2-3 weeks ago to let him know that I was having 
similar issues
with the faster version of the script (I could see my 
certificate being
returned in Nmap's packet trace, but the script wasn't 
reporting anything)
against my own web server; the original version worked fine, 
albeit quite
slowly. He said he'd fixed it to return some ciphers (possibly the
SVN version you tried?), but "it still can't return all seven 
that ssllabs.com
and the old version of my script report".

I was hoping Mak would find time to quickly fix it, but 
perhaps the SVN
version should go back to the original version of the script? 
I'd rather
have slow and accurate results than something fast and buggy.

Rob

Folks:

  Test setup: (1) OpenSUSE Linux 11.1 x86, patched as of
today.
(2) Mac running 10.5.8, all patches as of this writing. Nmap 5.21,
freshly built today from source, on Linux & OS/X - downloaded from
nmap.org - also tried nmap 4.85BETA3 on the OS/X machine.

  Downloaded NSE script "ssl-enum-ciphers" from
http://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/ssl-enum-ciphers.html - run it
against test server @ lab, couple other servers - in all 
cases, it 
would either
return "nothing", or something like "40,483 compression 
supported" - and
listing "uncompressed" 40K times or so. Or would hang there for a
loooong time and basically sit there.

  In all cases, a tcpdump DID show traffic coming & going -
wireshark tagged all SSL ClientHello as "malformed" - but
anyhow . . .

  Grabbed the original version, from Mak, the one he had
attached to his email on 02/16 - using that one, it takes seconds
to scan, and does produce meaningful results (though wireshark
still complains about
malformed Hellos)

  Should be easy to repro in the lab - ssl-enum-ciphers ==
doesn't work, sslv3-enum == does work.

  Thanks,
  Dario
