Over the last few weeks we have seen more and more users reporting that they have run a security check on the SSL certificate thats installed on their Loadbalancer appliance using the Trustworty Internet Movement web site (https://www.trustworthyinternet.org/ssl-pulse/).
The idea behind the site is basically to test as many SSL certificates on the Internet as possible and check for any vulnerabilities like having SSLv2 enabled or weak Key Cipher lists. The test takes about 2 minutes to run and will give you a report on the status of your SSL Certificate and the associated services that it uses.
From this we found that the version of Pound SSL Proxy that we were using with our v6.x appliance was not as secure as it could be. Which has lead to a new release of our hardware software to v6.19.
NB. ‘not as secure as it could be’ does not mean a security problem, the BEAST attack is really a client side attack and nothing to do with load balancers <- Anoying comment added by Editor
