Scan https Web Application for tls vulnerability using openssl

SSL Labs is the effficient way to find which SSL protocols are enabled on your webserver.

Enter your website url and click on submit

https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

It generated ssl scan report for your web application. You can check tls protocol enable/disable list.

If you want to scan tls protocol version on your local, Run following commands for different versions of tls.

tls 1 and tls 1.1 are vulnerable versions.

openssl s_client -connect app.localhost:443 -tls1
openssl s_client -connect app.localhost:443 -tls1_1
openssl s_client -connect app.localhost:443 -tls1_2
openssl s_client -connect app.localhost:443 -tls1_3

If tls 1 or tls 1.1 is enabled for your webserver but you are not getting results on command line, you need to make configuration changes in your openssl.cnf file.

Take backup of your /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

sudo cp /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.bkup

Add this to the beginning of your config file /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
openssl_conf = default_conf

And then this to the end:
[ default_conf ]
ssl_conf = ssl_sect
[ssl_sect]
system_default = system_default_sect
[system_default_sect]
MinProtocol = TLSv1.2
CipherString = DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=1

Now  export path
export OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

Now check again

openssl s_client -connect app.localhost:443 -tls1
openssl s_client -connect app.localhost:443 -tls1_1
 

Now it should show enabled tls protocols on command line

You can disable these protocols in your webserver config.

ngcc not found, @angular/cli is already installed

If you get the error ngcc not found but you have already installed all required angular packages.

To solve the issue, run command

npm install @angular/compiler-cli --save

Set npm Registry url locally

If npm takes registry url attribute from global npmrc config file and not from the file which is in your home directory then you want to modify global config npmrc but you can not update as you do not have root privileges.

You can set local registry url for your npm commands. 

npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

Now the url which is mentioned in global npmrc file will not be effective and it downloads package from this url only.

When you close the terminal and open new terminal, you need to run this command every time. To get rid off this, you need to add this command in your ~/.bashrc file, now whenever you open terminal, this command will be executed automatically in the background.

Generate secure https certificate for localhost using openssl commands

Create another config file from openssl configuration file. 

sudo cp /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf /etc/ssl/app.localhost.cnf

Now copy below code in the respective section of copied configuration file /etc/ssl/app.localhost.cnf 

[ v3_ca ]
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer
basicConstraints = critical, CA:TRUE, pathlen:3
keyUsage = critical, cRLSign, keyCertSign
nsCertType = sslCA, emailCA

[ v3_req ]
basicConstraints = CA:FALSE
keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
#extendedKeyUsage=serverAuth
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[ alt_names ]
DNS.1 = app.localhost
DNS.2 = localhost
DNS.3 = app1.localhost


Uncomment line. 

req_extensions = v3_req

Create CA Certificate : 

openssl genrsa -aes256 -out ca.key.pem 2048

chmod 400 ca.key.pem 

openssl req -new -x509 -subj "/CN=applocalhostca" -extensions v3_ca -days 3650 -key ca.key.pem -sha256 -out ca.pem -config /etc/ssl/app.localhost.cnf 

openssl x509 -in ca.pem -text -noout

Create Server certificate signed by CA : 

openssl genrsa -out app.localhost.key.pem 2048

openssl req -subj "/CN=app.localhost" -extensions v3_req -sha256 -new -key app.localhost.key.pem -out app.localhost.csr

openssl x509 -req -extensions v3_req -days 3650 -sha256 -in app.localhost.csr -CA ca.pem -CAkey ca.key.pem -CAcreateserial -out app.localhost.crt -extfile /etc/ssl/app.localhost.cnf

openssl x509 -in app.localhost.crt -text -noout

Now add ca.pem in chrome and firefox,
Chrome > privacy and security > security > manage certificates > authority
firefox > privacy and security > view certificates > authority
 

Use these crt and key in web server as ssl certificates.
Now open this virtualhost with https. Warning should not be appeared.

Check cpu usage of last 30 days

To get this, /usr/bin/sar should be installed. It is a default package.
cpu logs should be there in /var/log/sa folder in centos or redhat
 

If there is no /var/log/sa folder in ubuntu so the logs are stored in /var/log/sysstat. There is daily file of stored log.


usrname@hostname:~/Desktop$ ls /var/log/sysstat
sa09  sa10  sa11  sa12  sa13  sa14  sa15  sar09  sar10  sar11  sar13  sar14

You can find last 30 days logs here.
Suppose To check the logs of 15th, run command
sar -f /var/log/sysstat/sa15

You will get the cpu usage of complete day. Above is a part of the output.

Configure localhost with secure https

 

Steps :

sudo apt install libnss3-tools -y 

wget https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/releases/download/v1.4.3/mkcert-v1.4.3-linux-amd64 

sudo cp mkcert-v1.4.3-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/mkcert 

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mkcert 

mkcert -install

Now use your virtualhost name in the below command instead of app.localhost. You can generate same certificate for multiple virtualhosts. Add multiple virtualhosts space separated in the below command.

mkcert app.localhost localhost 127.0.0.1 

Use certificates in Apache ssl config, and restart Apache. Now open localhost and other virtualhosts in the browser. it should be secured.
