This PR introduces the following changes/improvements to running mass testing in parallel:
* Continuous feedback is provided on the progress of testing, so that testssl.sh doesn't appeared to be frozen, even if it is waiting a long time for a child test to complete. [The feedback text is sent to `stderr` so that it doesn't appear in the log file if the `--logging` option is used.]
* Text sent to `stderr` by a child test is captured and then displayed in context with the appropriate test rather than being displayed at the time the error occurs. [Note that this means that if the `--logfile <logfile>` option is used (with `logfile` being the name of a file), then `logfile` will include both `stdout` and `stderr`.]
* If a test is started but it does not complete (because testssl.sh was stopped or because the test timed out), then a message is displayed indicating that the test didn't finish.
I believe that `run_mass_testing_parallel()` is either ready for use or nearly ready for use. So, I changed the program to use `run_mass_testing_parallel()` rather than `run_mass_testing()` if the `$EXPERIMENTAL` flag is set.
was received, testssl.sh tries 3 times to get memory from the server, If
the server returns different memory it's highly likely vulnerable.
(some more vulnerable devices to test against would be appreciated).
This is the default now -- all other hosts are mostly labled as OK.
Parsing SERVICE should be a little faster and more reliable
Increased needed debug level for output @ parse_tls_serverhello
Sometimes it just does not. In those case also sometimes session resumption
via tickets is supported.
This fixes the output for Session Ticket RFC 5077 and doesn't draw the wrong
conclusion from a missing lifetime hint.
It also tests for ticketbleed first whether there's a session ticket TLS
extension.
When the `--log`, `--logging`, or `--logfile <logfile>` option is being used and testssl.sh is stopped, a "printf: write error: Broken pipe" message tends to appear. From what I can tell, this is a result of the `tee` process being killed before the `cleanup ()` function completes. At the moment, `cleanup ()` doesn't write very much to `stdout`, but if parallel mass testing is performed, then `cleanup ()` may try to write the results of several previously completed tests.
This PR fixes the problem by adding the `-i` option ("ignore interrupt signals") to `tee`.
Note that I have tested this on a Linux desktop and an OS X laptop, but don't have a MS Windows computer on which to test this change.
This PR provides improvements to `run_mass_testing_parallel()`. Currently, `run_mass_testing_parallel()` treats `$MAX_PARALLEL` as the maximum difference between the number of the test whose results were last processed and the number of the most recently started test. This means that test #40 will not be started until the results of test #20 have been processed. I've encountered situations in which tests 21 though 39 have completed, but test #20 is still running, and so no new tests are started.
This PR fixes the problem by checking the status of all running child tests to see if any are complete, rather than just looking at `$NEXT_PARALLEL_TEST_TO_FINISH`. This prevents one slow child test (or a few slow child tests) from slowing up the entire mass testing process.
This PR also changes the basis for determining whether a slow child process should be killed. Rather than waiting `$MAX_WAIT_TEST` seconds from the time that the parent started waiting (which is rather arbitrary), it kills the process if `$MAX_WAIT_TEST` seconds have passed since the child test was started. Given this, and that the above change makes it less likely that a slow child test will slow up the overall testing, I increased `$MAX_WAIT_TEST` from 600 seconds to 1200 seconds.
I added some `debugme` statements that provide feedback on the status of testing, but in non-debug mode there may be a perception issue. If one test (e.g., test #20) is very slow, testssl.sh will not display any results from later tests until the slow test finishes, even though testssl.sh will continue running new tests in the background. The user, seeing no output from testssl.sh for an extended period of time, may think that testssl.sh has frozen, even though it is really just holding back on displaying the later results so that the results will be displayed in the order in which the tests were started.
There is a comment in the `run_client_simulation()` function that says "FIXME: printf formatting would look better, especially if we want a wide option here."
This PR is an attempt at addressing that FIXME and adding a wide option. The proposed wide option prints the same information as the non-wide option, just with the columns aligned. I didn't add any of the additional information that is displayed by other functions in wide mode, since I thought that made the output too wide.
