    Description

      Our default cipher-suite advocates speed over security:

      RC4-SHA:AES128-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-SHA:ALL:!aNULL:!EXP:!LOW:!MD5:!SSLV2:!NULL
      

      Worse yet, it still has RC4 in there, along with some other bad defaults. RC4 must be eradicated: https://blogs.technet.com/b/srd/archive/2013/11/12/security-advisory-2868725-recommendation-to-disable-rc4.aspx?Redirected=true

      We should by default advocate security, which means, we should advocate Perfect Forward Secrecy, which means we should also advocate OpenSSL >= 1.0.1e
