SSL Renegotiation on PEN Test???
Hi there
We're currently getting some of our sites which are served through our F5's pen tested...
Our F5's are currently running v11.1.0 HF2.
The PEN test report has f...

Cheers for your response...
I found a similar test on one of the sites I stumbled upon, and in order to get the error response, I had to disable the Renegotiation option in the clientssl profile...
So that to me suggests that insecure client renegotiation is enabled by default...
I got similar results on this site: http://netsekure.org/2009/11/tls-renegotiation-test/
Running against one of our sites with 'Renegotiation' enabled in the ClientSSL profile, I get:
Connecting to x:443
Site supports secure renegotiation!
Sending partial HTTP request
Trying to renegotiate
Site allows client initiated renegotiation!
Unpatched servers allowing client initiated renegotitation are vulnerable to a variation of the TLS MiTM attack.
Disabling 'Renegotiation' on the same site gives:
Connecting to x:443
Site supports secure renegotiation!
Sending partial HTTP request
Trying to renegotiate
Failed to renegotiate, site is not vulnerable
So I'm mighty confused at the moment...
It also appears that SSLabs does test for Secure Negotiation, but it claims that it's Not Supported on the F5's with either 'Renegotiation' enabled OR disabled...
Our default clientssl currently looks like:
list /ltm profile client-ssl clientssl
ltm profile client-ssl clientssl {
alert-timeout 60
allow-non-ssl disabled
app-service none
authenticate once
authenticate-depth 9
ca-file none
cache-size 262144
cache-timeout 3600
cert default.crt
chain none
ciphers DEFAULT
client-cert-ca none
crl-file none
handshake-timeout 60
key default.key
mod-ssl-methods disabled
mode enabled
options { dont-insert-empty-fragments }
passphrase none
peer-cert-mode ignore
proxy-ssl disabled
renegotiate-max-record-delay 10
renegotiate-period indefinite
renegotiate-size indefinite
renegotiation disabled
secure-renegotiation require
server-name none
sni-default false
sni-require false
strict-resume disabled
unclean-shutdown enabled
}
Will try and find out what software they're using for the Pen test and post back...
Cheers
Gavin
