SSL/TLS Ciphers of strength 128 bit is considered strong while ciphers of strength 112 bits is considered weak.
Ciphers of 56 bit is understandably weak as they can be easily brute-forced.
If it is weak, on what grounds is … Continue reading Why are ciphers of 112bits strength considered weak?
I’m running an Apache 2 server with Ubuntu 16. Here’s my current configuration:
SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
SSLHonorCipherOrder on
SSLCipherSuite
I’m a bit confused as to what I should use for SSLCipherSuite. I’m takin… Continue reading SSL – Enabling Forward Secrecy with or without RC4

Above one just a simple substitution technique. Data is random text. If attackers substitute -1 then they will get GINT TS. Otherwise if attackers do +1 then the… Continue reading How attackers extract data from cipher text using brute force?

This is my first time running a vulnerability scan software like OpenVas. It is really a great tool to found out about vulnerabilities in the network.
I have found difficult to troubleshoot the vulnerabilities related to weak… Continue reading OpenVas remediation cipher suites

Sticking to key lengths not exceeding 32 characters and using randomly selected passages from books and articles as plaintext sources, I have been able to break the Vignere and Columnar Transposition Ciphers separately with s… Continue reading How to break combined Vignere and Columnar Transposition Ciphers with different key lengths
I’m sure this is a basic question, but I’m still learning so I’m hoping for some understanding.
Recently, our available ciphers changed on our load balancer which caused certain connections out of my box that communicates th… Continue reading Host Key Verification failed after Ciphers update
