Cisco ASA Security Levels

So I just discovered that the Cisco ASA’s in their documentation refer to security levels and that higher security levels have access to lower security levels.  A few months ago I was playing with a Cisco ASA and using the firewall functionality. By defining one firewall rule on the Cisco ASA it negates the security level functionality.

If you define one firewall rule, you will need to specify all allowed traffic through firewall rules.

Disable weak cryptography Apache

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXPORT 
SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1

tar and 7zip

tar cvfp – /directory/path [--exclude=/path/to/exclude]  | 7za a -si -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on filename.tar.7z

Rename files in directory

for i in * ; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | sed 's/old/new/g'`"; done

ASA disable site to site VPN

Taken from these instructions on how to setup the site to site VPN: https://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a0080950890.shtml#asa5510
