SSL/TLS: Enumerate all security ciphers a Web- or Mailserver offers

Hi,

you want to know which security ciphers a particular server supports?

nmap is a universal scanner for discovering networks. It has a scripting engine with a lot of security related modules. The ssl-enum-ciphers is one of them.

To all ciphers use

[root@debdev ~]# nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 myHost.myDomain.org
Starting Nmap 7.70 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-10-07 08:23 CEST
Nmap scan report for myHost.myDomain.org (10.10.254.34)
Host is up (0.0013s latency).

The character (A, B..) at the the end of the cipher is a rating of the ciphers strength. A is the best.

Or with some detailed output
