TLS Test Kit

This is an Inferno test kit for TLS connections.

• ./setup.sh
• ./run.sh

The tls_version_test allows you to check which versions of TLS are supported on a server. You can configure minimum/maximum allowed values and specify required versions. The test attempts to make a TLS connection using each of the following versions, and will fail if a connection can't be made with a required version, or if a connection can be made with a forbidden version:

• SSL 2.0
• SSL 3.0
• TLS 1.0
• TLS 1.1
• TLS 1.2
• TLS 1.3

The ruby OpenSSL library provides constants for each TLS version:

OpenSSL::SSL::SSL2_VERSION
OpenSSL::SSL::SSL3_VERSION
OpenSSL::SSL::TLS1_VERSION
OpenSSL::SSL::TLS1_1_VERSION
OpenSSL::SSL::TLS1_2_VERSION
OpenSSL::SSL::TLS1_3_VERSION

Using these constants, you can configure the permitted/forbidden/required versions. In the example below, only TLS 1.1 and 1.2 are permitted, and TLS 1.2 is required. All other versions are forbidden. No minimum/maximum allowed version is enforced if none are specified.

The incorrectly_permitted_tls_version_message_type option allows you to determine the behavior of the test when a server allows a TLS connection to be established using an unpermitted version. It defaults to 'error', which will cause the test to fail when a connection is established using an unpermitted version. Values of 'info' or 'warning' will allow the test to still pass with details in an info or warning message.

require 'tls_test_kit'

test from: :tls_version_test do
  config(
    inputs: {
      url: {
        title: 'URL whose TLS connections will be tested'
      }
    },
    options: {
      minimum_allowed_version: OpenSSL::SSL::TLS1_1_VERSION,
      maximum_allowed_version: OpenSSL::SSL::TLS1_2_VERSION,
      required_versions: [OpenSSL::SSL::TLS1_2_VERSION],
      incorrectly_permitted_tls_version_message_type: 'warning'
    }
  )
end

If the environment variable INFERNO_DISABLE_TLS_TEST equals "true" (case-insensitive) then test always result in omit. To view this behavior you can do INFERNO_DISABLE_TLS_TEST=true inferno start when starting Inferno. This is intended for continuous integration testing.
