Hi all I have been working on to add wildcard matching support for ncat so that it can accept wildcard ssl certificates aswell. But i have a problem in implementation of matching rules as there are different RFCs (like RFC 2595,RFC 2818,RFC 4513) saying different matching rules. Moreover the browsers and other ssl clients also had their own wildcard matching rules without following any of the RFCs. The slide No.5 of this presentation explains these differences in wildcard matching rules very briefly. https://www.switch.ch/pki/meetings/2007-01/namebased_ssl_virtualhosts.pdf see this site for more info on this issue: http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/WildcardCertificates First i thought of implementing the IE's way of doing this as those rules are pretty close to what RFC 2818 says and more secure but later taken aback after some discussion with david. We decided to find out first how common is the usage of wildcard certifiates and thereby either leaving this completely or making it a low priority if there aren't many.For this we thought of having a SSL certificate retrieval NSE script which scans 10,000 SSL web servers and see what they have in their certificates. Any further thoughts,opinions and suggestions please :) Regards Venkat _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
