RapydBlok – 2020 in Review

|

“HTTPS & SSL doesn’t mean “trust this.” It means “this is private.” You may be having a private conversation with Satan.” – Scott Hanselman

“Best wishes for the festive season from the RapydBlok team. 2020 hasn’t been the easiest year for most, but with all it’s challenges we have persevered. Well wishes for 2021 are in order.”

RapydBlok achieved some milestones this year including;

  • A new product, INSPECT Web App, that can inspect website https security – inspect.rapydblok.com
  • Fixed some bugs, added multi-threading for SCANS and improved on reporting and email delivery of results.
  • Introduced #ScanFriday, to encourage regular security scanning.
  • Gordon emigrated from Cape Town to Munich.

RapydBlok INSPECT Web App is Live

|

RapydBlok is proud to announce that the ‘RapydBlok INSPECT’ product is finished and in production!

After many cups of coffee, weeks of planning, development & fine tuning, the team have produced a free web app to audit TLS/SSL configurations.

What is RapydBlok INSPECT?

– INSPECT is a free Web application that can audit & report on TLS/SSL ciphers & protocols for configuration issues, cryptographic flaws, vulnerabilities, HTTP security headers. INSPECT is built upon the foundations of the open source, testssl.sh toolset.

How can that help me?

– Most websites have SSL certificates to secure web traffic, INSPECT will review your SSL certificate and web server configuration for any related issues and display the full results.

Run a SCAN: inspect.rapydblok.com

What are the common issues found so far?

1: Just installing an SSL certificate is not enough to secure TLS/SSL, it needs to be configured correctly on the web server & some web admins are unaware of this.

2: Depreciated Protocols are configured, mainly TLS 1 & TLS1.1 are offered in configuration but actually depreciated. Min of TLS v1.2 and TLS 1.3 should be offered.

3: Using obsolete or old ciphers, for certificates often requires a review and Mozilla has some good recommendations on ciphers & client support.

4: Vulnerabilities, if old or obsolete Ciphers and Protocols are used, it can generally lead to vulnerabilities being available for that host.

5: Securing only with TLS1.3, doesn’t allow for all web clients to connect, especially older ones but most importantly Internet Explorer users cant connect.

6: Host scanned multiple times, hosts are being scanned around 3 times on average, as configuration changes are done in small stages, and confirmed correct via re-scans.
