[Nagios-devel] nrpe encryption SHA, ADH,
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2007 8:24 pm
Hi All,
Accoring to the nrpe documentation NRPE has the option for Encrypting
Network traffic using
SSL/TLS from openssl. The Encryption is done using a set encryption routine
of
AES-256 Bit Encryption using SHA and Anon-DH. This encryptsall traffic using
the NRPE sockets from the client to the server.
when i see the code i can see only the cipher list (ADH). so how this AES
and SHA invlove ?
ADH is the key agreement protocol. but it uses ADH and server or client will
not be autheticated. breaking the ADH cipher is not computaitonally feasible
at the moment.and you need to find the fisr packet (Man in the Middle
attack) , so its not practical. then how this AES encryption , and SHA work
in the protocol.
many thanks,
