SSL/TLS Supported Cipher

What SSL/TLS Supported Ciphers

Using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) / TLS (Transport Layer Security) add another layer to protocol for encryption. You can use SSL/TLS with HTTP, SMTP or FTP. When SSL / TLS is used, an 'S' is usually appended to the end of the protocol such as HTTPS and FTPS. When using SSL / TLS, client and server must agree about some encryption stuff and cipher is one of them.

There are lots of ciphers with different name in different standards. Check this if you want.

What Does Supported SSL Matters?

What Does Supported SSL Matters? Because of three things:

1. If you use weak cipher, your encrypted communication can be decrypted by attackers.
2. Using some ciphers can cause other vulnerabilities
3. Generally, security devices like IPS or WAF does not support all ciphers. Their supported ciphers can be different from the main server. If security devices are not configured correctly, attacker can use cipher which is supported by server but not supported by security devices to bypass security controls.

You can use these ciphers (taken from here):
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA

How Can You Learn Supported SSL/TLS Ciphers?

You can use our free and online SSL/TLS Supported Cipher tool. To do this, you can start by typing your domain name or IP address in the form on top of the page without any http or https and start scanning.

Or you can use sslscan

If you are using a linux disto, use your package manager to install sslscan For example, to install ubuntu type 'sudo apt-get install sslscan'

Sslscan simple but powerful tool to gather information about TLS/SSL certification including supported ciphers suites on the server side. Sample usage is like this:

sslscan s4e.io
Version: 2.0.0-beta1-9-g2bebcbf-static
OpenSSL 1.1.1h-dev  xx XXX xxxx
