Weak Security Ciphers
Hi All
*
Need some help on testing if a server supports weak ciphers .

Here is the command I ran :

openssl s_client -connect HOSTNAME:443 -cipher LOW:EXP

result :
Connected : err num=110

openssl s_client -connect HOSTNAME:8000 -cipher LOW:EXP
result :
Connected : err num=104

Should I understand that the host does not support weak ciphers with above result.


Now wanted to check whats the level of security and does it support high ciphers

openssl s_client -connect HOSTNAME:8000 -cipher HIGH:EXP
result :
Connected : err num=110

How do I check what is level of security ?
What is the keylength?


Cheers
Noufel
