HackMyCF Adds SSL/TLS Scanner

by Pete Freitag

I'm pleased to announce a feature of HackMyCF that I've been excited about for a while: SSL / TLS Scanning.

If you stay up to date with security news you know that there have been a large number of vulnerabilities or weaknesses discovered in SSL or TLS protocols and implementations. For example, we have LogJam, Heartbleed, POODLE, CRIME, BEAST, and those are just the ones with cool names :)

While we have been issuing warnings when SSLv2 and SSLv3 (poodle) are enabled for a while, but here are some of the new checks we have added:

Here's a screenshot from an example HackMyCF report:

Customers can enable this feature if they have set protocol = HTTPS in their server settings.

The Fixinator Code Security Scanner for ColdFusion & CFML is an easy to use security tool that every CF developer can use. It can also easily integrate into CI for automatic scanning on every commit.
