Starting with this release, we attribute the Technology Innovation Institute (@tiiuae) in the license header to reflect the extensive contributions made by its researchers.

This is also the first release supporting DTLS scans. By adding the -dtls flag, you can now evaluate the supported protocol features of a DTLS server and test for common vulnerabilities (Bleichenbacher, Padding Oracle, RACCOON, ALPACA, ...). We also added new probes to evaluate DTLS-specific features such as:

  • cookie validation
  • protection against DoS amplification attacks
  • protection against memory exhaustion DoS attacks
  • retransmission support
  • fragmentation support
  • reordering support
  • handling of invalid message sequence numbers

We also added a first version of an application fingerprinting probe for DTLS. Once TLS-Scanner knows the application protocol deployed on the server, more detailed tests for correct handling of improperly protected application data will be executed.

Minor changes in Client-Scanner:

  • added new probes to evaluate supported EC Point Formats and minimum public key sizes expected in server certificate
  • improved parallelization of extensive probes
  • switched towards dynamic extension selection by default instead of hard-coded choices
