[openssl-users] Is there a way to get the numeric-value for a openssl-cipher-suite

[Ajay Garg]

Hi All.

I am using the following script at myu laptop, to test for the available
cipher-suites :

####################################################
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# OpenSSL requires the port number.
SERVER=server.ip.com:12345
DELAY=1
ciphers=$(openssl ciphers 'ALL:eNULL' | sed -e 's/:/ /g')

echo Obtaining cipher list from $(openssl version).

for cipher in ${ciphers[@]}
do
# echo -n Testing $cipher...
result=$(echo -n | openssl s_client -cipher "$cipher" -connect $SERVER 2>&1)
if [[ "$result" =~ ":error:" ]] ; then
    true
else
  if [[ "$result" =~ "Cipher is ${cipher}" || "$result" =~ "Cipher    :" ]]
; then
    echo ${cipher}
  else
      true
  fi
fi
sleep $DELAY
done
####################################################


Above script works, and I am able to get the supported-ciphers-listing.
But all those ciphers are in stringified-form.


Is there a way, so that I can get the supported-ciphers in their
corrsponding numeric-values form?
I ask this, because a particular device supports only a restricted set of
ciphers, and I am not able to properly match the cipher-suites using their
stringified-forms.


Looking forward to some help from the experts :)



Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
