XMPPoke - Testing the encryption strength of XMPP servers

XMPPoke is a tool which is used to probe XMPP servers for their security and connectivity settings. Think testssl.sh, but for XMPP and with different features.

It focuses on cipher suites, certificate validity, authentication options, SRV record setup and DANE.

Required:

• Install squish from http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/squish/home.
• Build luasec from the xmppoke branch of https://github.com/xnyhps/luasec/tree/xmppoke.
• Build luaunbound in the luaunbound directory and copy lunbound.so to util.
• Copy encodings.so and hashes.so from util in a Prosody build to util/ in xmppoke.
• Install luadbi and luadbi-postgres.

Then:

squish --use-http

to build xmppoke.lua.

Use:

sqlite3 results.db < schema.sql

to initialize the database.

lua xmppoke.lua example.com

This will initiate a number of connections to example.com, to test the TLS configuration.

Usage:

lua xmppoke.lua [-v] [-h] [--out=reports/] [--mode=(server|client)] [--delay=seconds] hostname

• -v,--verbose verbose.
• -h,--html write a HTML report, instead of ANSI colored output to the terminal.
• -o,--output the directory where to store the report. Default is reports/.
• -m,--mode the mode (either client or server). Default is client.
• -d,--delay the number of seconds to wait between every connection. Default is 2.
• --capath path to a directory containing your trusted CA certificates. Default is **/etc/ssl/certs/*.
• --cafile path to a directory containing your trusted CA certificates. Default is nil.
• --certificate path to a client side certificate to use. Some servers refuse s2s connections from servers that use TLS but don't present a client cert. Default is nil.
• --key path to the private key for the --certificate. Default is nil.
• --blacklist path to the list of keys included in the openssl-blacklist package. Default is /usr/share/openssl-blacklist/.

Build the docker image as usual.

The docker image exposes the following interface:

• The XMPPoke Queue Manager expects some environment variables as configuration. See there for details.

• The XMPPoke Queue Manager is the command which is run by default when running the image as a container.
