Description: test servers for OpenSSL CVE-2014-0160 aka Heartbleed
The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL
cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the
information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS
encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication
security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web,
email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).
.
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory
of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL
software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service
providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the
users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on
communications, steal data directly from the services and users and
to impersonate services and users.
.
heartbleeder is a tool that tests remotely (over a network) if a
system is compromised by an insecure OpenSSL service.
