Re: weak ciphers 26928

It checks the cipher strength.  It will report positive if a cipher
strength of 56-bit or a null cipher (one that doesn't actually encrypt
the transport) is supported.

ssl_supported_ciphers.nasl
cat = 0;
NULL_STRENGTH = cat;
labels[cat] = "Null Ciphers (no encryption)";
LOW_STRENGTH = ++cat;
labels[cat] = "Low Strength Ciphers (< 56-bit key)";
MEDIUM_STRENGTH = ++cat;
labels[cat] = "Medium Strength Ciphers (>= 56-bit and < 112-bit key)";
HIGH_STRENGTH = ++cat;
labels[cat] = "High Strength Ciphers (>= 112-bit key)";
max_strength = ++cat;
labels[cat] = "Uncategorized Ciphers";



Hope this helps,
