Xml/XSLT

[janiko71]

Hi,
sslscan is very useful for me, at work, but I needed to be able to use it through a website (because of proxies), so I've just added a small feature to have a colored output in HTML with XSLT.
I send it to you, maybe you can add this based on this work (espacially XSL file, that I can easily translate in english).
Regards,
Jean

Hi, I am the author of nmap-bootstrap-xsl. Today I wanted to build a similar XSL for SSLScan, as it is my favorite tool for testing. During my research, I discovered this request. I am happy, that the missing color in the XML is already addressed.

During my testing I found one small bug: The XSL does not loop correctly over all tested servers (if you use --targets=hosts.txt e.g.), it mixes the results. But this could be solved with a loop over the ssltest tag and some tweaking.

I would like to assists to develop this feature. How can I help?

Hi @honze-net,

This is a very old PR that basically got forgotten about, as it wasn't really in a state to merge. I've added in a strength attribute to the XML in commit d6ba349 which reflects the colouring in the output. It gives an idea of the issue rather than just having the colour, so it's a bit more meaningful.

Strength XML attribute	Colour in stdout
strong	green
acceptable	white
medium	yellow
weak	red
anonymous	purple
null	red background

XSL isn't something that I've ever used, so I'm afraid it's not really going to be something that I'm able to do very much with - but if there are any (non-breaking) XML changes that would be helpful to make in the code if you're looking to make something like the Nmap XSL then please let me know. I'd not seen your project before, but it looks nice (although I normally just look directly at the .nmap files with some syntax highlighting, it's much more friendly with things like searching built in).

Thanks,

Hi, I made the XSLT file. If you have some sample outputs where it doesn't work properly, let's post the files. I'll take a look.

[honze-net]

Thanks for the support. You are great! I will have a look into that. That should make it easy for me to implement the XSL.

[honze-net]

It took me a bit, but I created a draft version of the XSL: https://gist.github.com/honze-net/6fc1e810aadcf153cde1a5fe99ff522e
Please download it into the same folder as the xml.
To make it work, you have to insert the following line into your xml.
<?xml-stylesheet href="sslscan-bootstrap-dev1.xsl " type="text/xsl"?>

It should then look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="sslscan-bootstrap-dev1.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<document title="SSLScan Results" version="1.11.13-static" web="http://github.com/rbsec/sslscan">

(Yes, you could also hotlink the raw gist url, if you like.)

It is not finished, yet. Some color features are missing. Please tell me your opinions and features, you are missing.

Thank you!

@honze-net I'm not sure you've uploaded the right XSL in that Gist - it looks like it's the Nmap one?

[honze-net]

OMG, sorry. I will fix that, as soon as I get back to my machine.

[honze-net]

I updated the Gist. It should work as expected, now.

[rbsec]

@honze-net - looks great. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - been a busy couple of weeks. I can see there are some area where the XML is missing attributes to colour/show it, so when I get a chance I'll go through and add them in to the XML.

Thanks,

[honze-net]

@rbsec Thank you very much! No problem! I really love to refine the XSL so that you can get the same information as from the console output. That would be awesome!

[rbsec]

@honze-net apologies, this keep slipping down my todo list.

The current output looks really good - are there any changes you need to the XML for the final attributes?

[honze-net]

@rbsec I will have a look, what needs to be added. I will compile a list and post it here. Will take me a few days. Thank you!

[honze-net]

As of now, I propose that these elements should also have the "strength" attribute:

• signature-algorithm
• pk (public key)
  I think, that should cover everything I need to complete the XSL file. The XML file should then be equivalent to the console output.

[rbsec]

@honze-net I've added good/acceptable/weak attributes to <pk> and <signature-algorithm>

[honze-net]

Thank you! I will update my XSL next week.
