What does Qualys scan for?

Qualys is a cloud-based solution that detects vulnerabilities on all networked assets, including servers, network devices (e.g. routers, switches, firewalls, etc.), peripherals (such as IP-based printers or fax machines) and workstations. Qualys can assess any device that has an IP address.

What is Zombie POODLE vulnerability?

The POODLE attack (Padding Oracle on Downgraded Legacy Encryption) exploits a vulnerability in the SSL 3.0 protocol (CVE-2014-3566). This vulnerability lets an attacker eavesdrop on communication encrypted using SSLv3.

What killed ssl3?

(Other protocols are not vulnerable because this area had been strengthened in TLS 1.0.) Conceptually, the vulnerability is very similar to the 2011 BEAST exploit.

Is Qualys was a DAST?

Yes, Qualys WAS is a DAST tool. Web apps before production are typically not Internet facing, so you would need a Qualys scanner appliance deployed in your internal network environment. Launching scans and viewing results works the same however… all done via the Qualys cloud platform.

Is toy POODLE aggressive?

Toy and miniature poodles are especially susceptible to fear-based aggression. Their small size makes them particularly sensitive to rough handling and teasing by children.

Why is TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 considered weak?

Shall I know why TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 being treated as weak? When did it become weak? Thanks. Due to the difficulties in implementing CBC cipher suites, and the numerous known exploits against bugs in specific implementations, Qualys SSL Labs began marking all CBC cipher suites as WEAK in May 2019.

Why is SSL3 insecure?

SSLv3 has several flaws. An attacker can cause connection failures and they can trigger the use of SSL 3.0 to exploit vulnerabilities like POODLE. Attackers can perform man-in-the-middle attacks and observe the encryption traffic between your website and its visitors.

Is SSLv3 deprecated?

The IETF has taken an official stance in the matter: SSL 3.0 is now deprecated. The Secure Sockets Layer version 3.0 (SSLv3), as specified in RFC 6101, is not sufficiently secure. This document requires that SSLv3 not be used.
