Protocol benchmarking / auditing inquiry

[Brent Kimberley]

Hi Christopher.

Yes.  You are correct.  Peer reviewed installation readiness documents like the CIS MIT benchmark are a good "first step."

I was asking pointers to the rest of the lifecycle suite - specifically "walk".

Crawl
=====
Installation readiness documents
        e.g., CIS MIT Kerberos Benchmark

Walk
====
Focused applications.

Application which can connect to a client or a server and emit:
        Enabled ciphers.
        Enabled MACs.
        Enabled Kerberos modes (krb5, krb5i, krb5p)
        etc.

Background: most sites appear to be misconfigured.

Run
====
A focused service.

[You don't often get email from cclausen at acm.org. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ]

I have used this as a guide, but I think MIT Kerberos version 1.10 is the latest available:
https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/mit_kerberos

Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not.
