Description

Check if a server supports a given version of SSL/TLS and cipher suites. The certificate is stored in loot, and any known vulnerabilities against that SSL version and cipher suite combination are checked. These checks include POODLE, deprecated protocols, expired/not valid certs, low key strength, null cipher suites, certificates signed with MD5, DROWN, RC4 ciphers, exportable ciphers, LOGJAM, and BEAST.

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.
