The DES-CBC3-SHA 168 bit cypher seems reasonably common (here, nearly 10% of connections)

SSL with DES-CBC3-SHA is broken in pre-Vista version of Windows,
so if a Windows client is using the SSL support in Microsoft's
Crypto API, that could be an issue.


I miscounted earlier, my overly-simple grep included things such as "EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA" in the total.

Occurrences of "cipher DES-CBC3-SHA" turn out to be pretty rare here - less than 0.1% rather than the 10% I quoted earlier. YMMV.

So maybe disabling DES-CBC3-SHA isn't a bad thing, at least for testing.
