HTTPS & TLS

88/100A

HSTS0/4
No HSTS: a visitor's first request can be downgraded to plain HTTP.
HTTPS certificateGoogle Trust Services10/10
HTTPS with a valid certificate from Google Trust Services.
Certificate expiry754/4
The certificate is valid for another 75 days.
TLS versionTLS 1.34/4
Negotiates TLS 1.3, the current protocol: faster handshakes, forward secrecy always.
Old protocols3/3
Refuses the retired TLS 1.0 and 1.1.
Key strengthRSA 20482/2
A strong key: RSA 2048.
HTTP → HTTPS3083/3
http:// redirects straight to https://.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3HTTP/32/2
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

DNS

79/100B

DNSSEC0/3
Not signed with DNSSEC: a forged DNS answer for the domain cannot be told from the real one.
Name servers44/4
4 name servers for the domain.
Name servers answer4/45/5
Every name server answers for the domain, with the same version of the zone.
CAA recordsletsencrypt.org, pki.goog2/2
CAA records name the authorities allowed to issue its certificates.

Email

79/100B

MTA-STS0/2
No MTA-STS: mail to the domain can be read in transit by stripping its encryption.
TLS reporting0/0.5
No TLS reporting: failed encrypted deliveries go unnoticed.
SPF~all4/5
SPF lists the servers allowed to send its mail and marks the rest as suspicious (~all).
DMARCreject7/7
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fakes the domain (p=reject).
DKIMgoogle2/2
A DKIM key is published (selector google), so its mail can be signed.

Web & network

50/100D

IPv60/4
www.quora.com has no IPv6 address: IPv6-only networks reach it only through translation.
Security headers
The website answered 403 to the check (bot protection, most likely), so its headers are not graded.
RPKIvalid4/4
The route to the website is RPKI-valid: networks can reject hijacked announcements of it.

Dependencies

80/100B

DNS providersAmazon Route 533/5
All DNS is with one provider (Amazon Route 53): an outage there takes the domain offline, as Dyn's did in 2016.
One company for everything5/5
The website, DNS and email do not all hang on one company.

Website: Cloudflare

What is graded

HTTPS & TLS · 25%

A valid certificate (an invalid one means F), its expiry against its lifetime, TLS 1.3, no TLS 1.0/1.1 (else at most B), http:// sent straight to https://, HSTS, HTTP/2.

DNS · 20%

At least two name servers that all answer and agree, DNSSEC, CAA records, and a registration that is not about to expire.

Email · 20%

SPF, a DMARC policy that rejects forgeries (none means at most B), MTA-STS and TLS reporting for domains that take mail, DKIM at common selectors.

Web & network · 20%

Content Security Policy, nosniff, framing protection, Referrer- and Permissions-Policy, IPv6, and an RPKI-valid route (invalid means at most C).

Dependencies · 15%

DNS from more than one provider, and the website, DNS and email not all with one company.
