SSL/TLS Full Inspection - permissible cipher suites

netwrkr · ‎08-11-2015

Same setup as my last post --

Fortigate running with full SSL/TLS inspection.

How do we limit the cipher suites the Fortigate accepts from the web servers it connects to?

In the current, default configuration, the Fortigate accepts quite a few undesirable combinations including:

DES, RC4, SHA, MD5.

Why would a security product, produced in the last decade, EVER allow the likes of DES?

How do you change what the Fortigate accepts to a much stronger cipher suite?

Thanks.

Tom

PS. If you want to check it yourself, turn on full SSL inpsection and head to https://howsmyssl.com

Hi all

as I was reading this post I was quit confiused because the direction goes to "how to prevent the FGT to use some cipher to access som webservers which support none secure ciphers etc. ". Special the use of strong-crypto was confiusing me because this direction is completly false from my point of view. This means if you use strong-crypto it influence as the CLI is mentioning:

Enable to use strong encryption and only allow

strong ciphers (AES, 3DES) and digest (SHA1) for

HTTPS/SSH admin access.

When strong encryption is enabled, HTTPS is

supported by the following web browsers: Netscape

7.2, Netscape 8.0, Firefox, and Microsoft Internet

Explorer 7.0 (beta).

Note that Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and 6.0 are

not supported in strong encryption.

This means this options is HTTPS/SSH "ADMIN" based nothing else. This can be also tested:

Use cipherscan to a admin interface HTTPS (https://github.com/jvehent/cipherscan)

From my point of view there is no configuration which tells the FortiGate in deep-inspection to not use some ciphers etc. This is from my point of view a config which you can full file over the Browser which means deactivating unter option TLS SSL etc. If a webserver is correct configured a fallback to a lower cipher should be not allow. Anyway as more as you increase the security with as an example TLS 1.2 only as with only some ciphers on a Server as more as you will have compatibility issues even it would be from security point of view correct.

Finally the option discussed here strong-crypto has nothing to do with the cipers or TLS SSL version the FortiGate uses to access a webserver etc. using deep-inspection. This options influence as the CLI documents the HTTPS SSH Admin access only.

hope this helps

have fun

Very good points & observations

Keep in mind, the ciphers offered by the webserver is going to be the factor on what's selected and used.There's nothing you can do, that can steer or bypass that (except with a true proxy that conducts ssl inspections ....read more )

I don't think the fortigate is going to stop a client that proxy thru from establishment to a web-site with a small-keys or weak ciphers. A true dedicate forward proxy ( i.e cisco, bluecoat , optenet, etc...) & that have SSL/TLS security features is what's required. I think this is where the OP was hinting at & within these latest posts. The fortigate which is good, is not as secured or security cautious as a full on 3rd party proxy solution , who has better SSL/TLS inspection and controls.

The FGT "SSL inspections" just checks basic security checks which are no or more less than your typical browser. Example a explict proxy might allow you to access a site with expired cert or revoke cert or sslv2 or be effected by sslv3 and poodle vulnerabilities.

You will need a proxy that has security feature that inspect and restrict the client from using ssl3 just for example, I don't think this is possible within the fortigate ( somebody can correct me if I'm wrong ). Poster networker has brought up 2 posts that should be on the minds of all that uses "just" a fortigate and with attempts at security enforcement from a web-client.

Btw, I like that cipherscan script for cipher testing ;)

Hi,

I tested this with SSL-deep-inspection behind a Fortigate 1500D running 5.2.3, and I don't get the insecure ciphers you mentioned. See attached screenshot.

Does http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/microsites/microsite.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=FD36915 help at all?

@HoHo

I suspect that is why we get different results. I have strong-crypto set to enable, and TC does not.

Thanks for clearing that up :)

hrmmm.....I too have strong-crypto enabled and see different results on the https://howsmyssl.com website. Let me check the browser settings and report back.

netwrkr · ‎08-13-2015

I'm stumped.

1. strong-crypto is enabled (has been since we deployed)

2. I disabled every cipher suite in Firefox except the ECDHE-AES128|AES256 ones and the howsmyssl.com site still shows multiple weak cipher suites including DES, 3DES and RC4.

3. I also checked using the ssllabs.com website. The results were the same as was reported by howsmyssl.com.

To confirm similar configurations my deep inspection profile is as follows



config firewall ssl-ssh-profile
    edit "tls-mitm"
            config ssl
                set inspect-all deep-inspection
                set ssl-ca-list enable
            end
            config https
                set ssl-ca-list enable
            end
            config ftps
            end
            config imaps
            end
            config pop3s
            end
            config smtps
            end
            config ssh
                set ports 22
            end
        set caname "my.ca CA"
        set ssl-invalid-server-cert-log enable
    next
end

A good Qs and see my last reply to the lock scenario in your OCSP thread.

I think if you need proper proetction for a web-browser you need to install a 3rd party and MiTM proxy.

Hi all

as I was reading this post I was quit confiused because the direction goes to "how to prevent the FGT to use some cipher to access som webservers which support none secure ciphers etc. ". Special the use of strong-crypto was confiusing me because this direction is completly false from my point of view. This means if you use strong-crypto it influence as the CLI is mentioning:

Enable to use strong encryption and only allow

strong ciphers (AES, 3DES) and digest (SHA1) for

HTTPS/SSH admin access.

When strong encryption is enabled, HTTPS is

supported by the following web browsers: Netscape

7.2, Netscape 8.0, Firefox, and Microsoft Internet

Explorer 7.0 (beta).

Note that Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and 6.0 are

not supported in strong encryption.

This means this options is HTTPS/SSH "ADMIN" based nothing else. This can be also tested:

Use cipherscan to a admin interface HTTPS (https://github.com/jvehent/cipherscan)

# openssl s_client -connect 198.18.0.1:443 -cipher "RC4" CONNECTED(00000003) 140687385839520:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:s23_clnt.c:744: --- no peer certificate available --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 7 bytes and written 73 bytes --- New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE ---

Check at once if RC4 is supported:

# for i in `openssl ciphers -v 'RC4' | awk '{print $1}'`; do echo -ne "$i\t" ; echo | openssl s_client -connect [FQDN des Hosts oder IPv4]:443 -cipher "$i" 2>&1 | grep New; done ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) ECDHE-ECDSA-RC4-SHA New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) AECDH-RC4-SHA New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) ADH-RC4-MD5 New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) ECDH-RSA-RC4-SHA New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) ECDH-ECDSA-RC4-SHA New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) RC4-SHA New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) RC4-MD5 New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)

From my point of view there is no configuration which tells the FortiGate in deep-inspection to not use some ciphers etc. This is from my point of view a config which you can full file over the Browser which means deactivating unter option TLS SSL etc. If a webserver is correct configured a fallback to a lower cipher should be not allow. Anyway as more as you increase the security with as an example TLS 1.2 only as with only some ciphers on a Server as more as you will have compatibility issues even it would be from security point of view correct.

Finally the option discussed here strong-crypto has nothing to do with the cipers or TLS SSL version the FortiGate uses to access a webserver etc. using deep-inspection. This options influence as the CLI documents the HTTPS SSH Admin access only.

hope this helps

have fun

Very good points & observations

Keep in mind, the ciphers offered by the webserver is going to be the factor on what's selected and used.There's nothing you can do, that can steer or bypass that (except with a true proxy that conducts ssl inspections ....read more )

I don't think the fortigate is going to stop a client that proxy thru from establishment to a web-site with a small-keys or weak ciphers. A true dedicate forward proxy ( i.e cisco, bluecoat , optenet, etc...) & that have SSL/TLS security features is what's required. I think this is where the OP was hinting at & within these latest posts. The fortigate which is good, is not as secured or security cautious as a full on 3rd party proxy solution , who has better SSL/TLS inspection and controls.

The FGT "SSL inspections" just checks basic security checks which are no or more less than your typical browser. Example a explict proxy might allow you to access a site with expired cert or revoke cert or sslv2 or be effected by sslv3 and poodle vulnerabilities.

You will need a proxy that has security feature that inspect and restrict the client from using ssl3 just for example, I don't think this is possible within the fortigate ( somebody can correct me if I'm wrong ). Poster networker has brought up 2 posts that should be on the minds of all that uses "just" a fortigate and with attempts at security enforcement from a web-client.

Btw, I like that cipherscan script for cipher testing ;)

The Palo Alto firewalls have the very features I'm looking for but the cost of them is sky high.

From the PAN 7.0 docs

## Destination web server key size

"By default, the firewall determines the key size to use for the client certificates it generates based on the key size of the destination server certificate. You can optionally set a static key size to use regardless of the key size of the destination server certificate."

## Allow the user to 'click-through' untrusted web server certificates

"If the server certificate is signed by a CA that the firewall does not trust, the firewall creates a copy of the server certificate and signs it with the Forward Untrust certificate and sends it to the client. In this case, the client sees a block page warning that the site they’re attempting to connect to is not trusted and the client can choose to proceed or terminate the session."

## Without going too far off course - this is another very nice feature the PA has (Fortinet folks - are you listening???)

"Enable Users to Opt Out of SSL Decryption In some cases, you may need to alert your users to the fact that certain web traffic is being decrypted and allow them to terminate sessions that they do not want inspected. With SSL Opt Out enabled, the first time a userattempts to browse to an HTTPS site or application that matches your decryption policy, the firewall will displaya response page that notifies the user that the session will be decrypted. Users can either allow decryption andcontinue to the page by clicking YES,or opt out of decryption and click No to terminate the session. Users who opt out of SSL decryption are not allowed to continue to the requested web page, or to any other HTTPS site they attempt to access during the next 24-hour period. My point is, at least one other "NGFW" vendor offers the requisite SSL/TLS deep-inspection security features. I can only hope Fortinet does the same in the near future. Tom
