David Cooper c522cad687 Use sockets to determine cipher order
This PR modifies `cipher_pref_check()` to use `tls_sockets()`. As with similar PRs for `run_allciphers()`, `run_cipher_per_proto()`, and `run_rc4()`, it also makes use of `$OPENSSL s_client`, since `$OPENSSL s_client` is faster than `tls_sockets()`.

With this PR, `cipher_pref_check()` first uses `$OPENSSL s_client` to obtain an ordered list of ciphers. It then makes one call to `tls_sockets()` (or a few calls if proto is TLSv1.2 and `$SERVER_SIZE_LIMIT_BUG` is `true`) to find if the server supports any ciphers that are not detected by `$OPENSSL s_client`. If not, then it is done. If it finds one, then it throws out the previous results and starts over with `tls_sockets()`. [If proto is TLSv1.2 and `$SERVER_SIZE_LIMIT_BUG` is `true`, then it doesn't throw out the `$OPENSSL s_client` results. Instead, it continues with `tls_sockets()` to get the full list of supported ciphers, and then uses `tls_sockets()` to order that list.]

The result is that this PR works almost as fast as the current `cipher_pref_check()` if `$OPENSSL s_client` finds all of the supported ciphers, at the cost of a performance penalty when testing servers that support ciphers that would have otherwise been missed using just OpenSSL.

Note that in this PR I removed SSLv2 from the list of protocols tested. This is because https://community.qualys.com/thread/16255 states that "in SSLv2 the client selects the suite to use." It seems that in SSLv2, the client sends a list of ciphers that it supports, the server responds with a list of ciphers that the client and server have in common, and then "the client selects the suite to use." So, showing a cipher order for SSLv2 is a bit misleading.

As noted in #543, this PR does not modify the second part of `cipher_pref_check()`, which deals with NPN protocols.

Intro

Build Status Gitter

testssl.sh is a free command line tool which checks a server's service on any port for the support of TLS/SSL ciphers, protocols as well as some cryptographic flaws.

Key features

  • Clear output: you can tell easily whether anything is good or bad
  • Ease of installation: It works for Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD, NetBSD and MSYS2/Cygwin out of the box: no need to install or configure something, no gems, CPAN, pip or the like.
  • Flexibility: You can test any SSL/TLS enabled and STARTTLS service, not only webservers at port 443
  • Toolbox: Several command line options help you to run YOUR test and configure YOUR output
  • Reliability: features are tested thoroughly
  • Verbosity: If a particular check cannot be performed because of a missing capability on your client side, you'll get a warning
  • Privacy: It's only you who sees the result, not a third party
  • Freedom: It's 100% open source. You can look at the code, see what's going on and you can change it.
  • Heck, even the development is open (github)

Status

Here in the 2.9dev branch you find the development version of the software -- with new features and maybe some bugs. For the stable version and a more thorough description of the command line options please see testssl.sh or https://github.com/drwetter/testssl.sh/wiki/Usage-Documentation.

Compatibility

testssl.sh is working on every Linux/BSD distribution out of the box with some limitations of disabled features from the openssl client -- some workarounds are done with bash-socket-based checks. It also works on other unixoid system out of the box, supposed they have /bin/bash and standard tools like sed and awk installed. MacOS X and Windows (using MSYS2 or cygwin) work too. OpenSSL version >= 1 is a must. OpenSSL version >= 1.0.2 is needed for better LOGJAM checks and to display bit strengths for key exchanges.

Update notification here or @ twitter.

Features implemented in 2.9dev

  • Support of supplying timeout value for openssl connect -- useful for batch/mass scanning
  • TLS 1.2 protocol check via socket
  • Further TLS socket improvements (handshake parsing, completeness, robustness)
  • non-flat JSON support
  • in file output (CSV, JSON flat, JSON non-flat) support of a minimum severity level (only above supplied level there will be output)
  • testing 359 default ciphers (testssl.sh -e) with a mixture of sockets and openssl. Same speed as with openssl only but addtional ciphers such as post-quantum ciphers, new CHAHA20/POLY1305, CamelliaGCM etc.
  • finding more TLS extensions via sockets
  • TLS Supported Groups Registry (RFC 7919), key shares extension
