SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires testssl.sh, sslyze, dig, curl, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies potential security vulnerabilities in TLS/SSL and DNS configurations, aiding in the assessment of web application security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TLS/SSL Audit: Detects issues like missing HSTS, weak cipher suites, and expired certificates.
  • DNS Security: Identifies misconfigurations such as missing SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, DNS Zone Transfers, and dangling CNAMEs.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill during web application reconnaissance to uncover infrastructure weaknesses and misconfigurations that could lead to security breaches.

Quick Start

Run the 'hunt-tls-network' skill on the target domain to scan for TLS/SSL and DNS misconfigurations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check for TLS/SSL and DNS misconfigurations during a security assessment?▼

To check for TLS/SSL and DNS misconfigurations, you can scan a target domain to detect weak cipher suites, missing HSTS, expired certificates, and absent SPF/DKIM/DMARC records using tools like testssl.sh, sslyze, dig, and curl.

What is the best way to detect missing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in DNS?▼

The best way to detect missing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records is to perform a DNS security scan using dig and curl, which identifies email authentication misconfigurations and dangling CNAMEs during web application reconnaissance.

Can I use testssl.sh and sslyze to find expired certificates and weak cipher suites?▼

Yes, you can use testssl.sh and sslyze to perform a TLS/SSL audit that detects expired certificates, weak cipher suites, and missing HSTS headers for comprehensive web application penetration testing.

Do I need to install dig and curl to scan for DNS zone transfers and TLS vulnerabilities?▼

Yes, you need dig and curl installed, as they are required dependencies for DNS analysis and HTTP probing, alongside testssl.sh and sslyze for full TLS/SSL vulnerability detection and security assessment.

When should I run a DNS and TLS/SSL audit during penetration testing?▼

You should run a DNS and TLS/SSL audit during the reconnaissance phase of penetration testing to uncover infrastructure weaknesses, missing security headers, and misconfigurations that could lead to security breaches.

What vulnerabilities does a TLS/SSL and DNS security scan identify?▼

A TLS/SSL and DNS security scan identifies vulnerabilities including missing HSTS, weak cipher suites, expired certificates, missing SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, DNS Zone Transfers, and dangling CNAMEs in web applications.
