TLS/SSL Cipher Suites

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:54:00 PST

TLS/SSL protocols support a large number of cipher suites. A cipher suite is a collection of symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms used by hosts to establish a secure communication. Supported cipher suites can be classified based on encryption algorithm strength, key length, key exchange and authentication mechanisms. Some cipher suites offer better level of security than others (e.g. Several weak cipher suites were developed for export to comply with US export law). There are more than 200 known cipher suites.

Port Scanning

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:07:00 PST

Port Scanning is the process of identifying listening ports on a target system. A Port Scanner is a tool used to identify such ports. Port Scanning reveals several attributes about the target system like running services, operating system, and running applications. Although all 65,535 can be scanned, it is often more time efficient to concentrate on a subset of entire port range which includes particularly interesting services such as http and ftp servers, remote shell ports, and others. Over the time a large number of port scanning approaches was developed ranging from classic TCP connect approach to more stealthy SYN, ACK and many others. Such approaches are covered below:
