@ -29,6 +29,12 @@ methods a server supports than SSLv2. A client lists the ciphers and compressors
that it is capable of supporting, and the server will respond with a single
cipher and compressor chosen, or a rejection notice.
Some servers use the client's ciphersuite ordering: they choose the first of
the client's offered suites that they also support. Other servers prefer their
own ordering: they choose their most preferred suite from among those the
client offers. In the case of server ordering, the script makes extra probes to
discover the server's sorted preference list.
This script is intrusive since it must initiate many connections to a server,
and therefore is quite noisy.
