It checks the cipher strength. It will report positive if a cipher strength of 56-bit or a null cipher (one that doesn't actually encrypt the transport) is supported. ssl_supported_ciphers.nasl cat = 0; NULL_STRENGTH = cat; labels[cat] = "Null Ciphers (no encryption)"; LOW_STRENGTH = ++cat; labels[cat] = "Low Strength Ciphers (< 56-bit key)"; MEDIUM_STRENGTH = ++cat; labels[cat] = "Medium Strength Ciphers (>= 56-bit and < 112-bit key)"; HIGH_STRENGTH = ++cat; labels[cat] = "High Strength Ciphers (>= 112-bit key)"; max_strength = ++cat; labels[cat] = "Uncategorized Ciphers"; Hope this helps, -Marcin tssci-security.com On 7/22/08, Thomas Atkins <Thomas.Atkins@sun.com> wrote:
