Supported Cyphers

You are configuring your favourite app that uses openssl libs. You give it a "cyphers string". Am I allowing bad varitions?

openssl ciphers -v TLSv1.2:+TLSv1.1:+SHA384:+SHA256:+SHA1:+MD5

Will spit out a lit of the supported cypher variations.

enumerate an enpoint

```

1. ! /bin/bash

serverport=$1 echo testing against $serverport

for v in ssl2 ssl3 tls1 tls1_1 tls1_2; do

   for c in $(openssl ciphers 'ALL:eNULL' | tr ':' ' '); do
       openssl s_client -connect $serverport \
           -cipher $c -$v < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo -e "$v:\t$c"
   done

done ```

Matching key with cert

openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in certificate.crt | openssl md5
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in privateKey.key | openssl md5
openssl req -noout -modulus -in CSR.csr | openssl md5
