Re: nmap does not list ciphers consistently

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Anil,

Are you using the same version of Nmap on both Mac and Windows? The current
version of the script uses Nmap's discovered timeout value (about .2
seconds in your case) plus 5 seconds. This ought to be very generous for
the initial TCP connection, and we thought it was sufficient for the
subsequent TLS handshake. Nmap 6.47 and earlier used a static 5-second
timeout, which is close enough to be the same in your case.
