Scanner for Bleichenbacher Oracle in RSA PKCS #1 v1.5

Description

Some TLS implementations handle errors processing RSA key exchanges and encryption (PKCS #1 v1.5 messages) in a broken way that leads an adaptive chosen-chiphertext attack. Attackers cannot recover a server's private key, but they can decrypt and sign messages with it. A strong oracle occurs when the TLS server does not strictly check message formatting and needs less than a million requests on average to decode a given ciphertext. A weak oracle server strictly checks message formatting and often requires many more requests to perform the attack. This module requires Python 3 with the gmpy2 and cryptography packages to be present.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
