           Summary: Warn when weak Ciphers are used

           Version: 6.7p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5

Warn the user when the SSH client or server are using weak ciphers. 

This can be done by default, when using -v or on a specific
test-security parameter.

Client and Server settings should be tested.

According to

https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html

Many ciphers (but not all) are either weak or broken. By having an
automatic test in the tools we can improve the settings of the
currently used servers and clients. That would improve the average
security level in a simple anbd efficient way.
