cipherTest.sh by Patrick Bogen

cipherTest.sh is a "better" SSL cipher checker in that it uses gnutls, which has support for many more configurations than openssl. It tests potentially ~3,200 different configurations (but does some pre-optimization so that it minimizes "failed" checks.)

It relies on openssl and gnutls-cli

sudo apt-get install gnutls-bin

Example output:

root@kitploit:~
$ cipherTest www.host.com 443
