Starting with OpenSSL 1.0.2 you can do: $ openssl s_client -connect www.example.com:443 -cipher "EDH" | grep "Server Temp Key" If you're testing a server that uses a small (weak) DH group the above command might output something like: Server Temp Key: DH, 512 bits Note: If you're on OpenSSL 1.0.1 you'll need to apply my back port to have this functionality: https://twitter.com/mancha140/status/602241770961907712 --mancha P.S. That command also shows the elliptic curve name and bit size when using ECDHE and the RSA modulus bit size when RSA is used for the temporary key (as done by some export ciphers). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
