Radar - TLS bug detection in post-quantum checker
Cloudflare Radar's post-quantum TLS support checker now detects and reports specific TLS bugs during handshake tests, such as split ClientHello issues, HelloRetryRequest failures, and unknown keyshare handling problems. This helps users identify and remediate compatibility issues on their hosts.
The Radar post-quantum TLS support checker ↗ now also reports TLS bugs detected during the handshake test. When a scanned host exhibits compatibility issues, the results include details on the specific bugs detected, along with guidance on how to investigate and remediate each issue. The bugs section only appears for hosts where issues are found.
The following TLS bugs are detected:
- Split ClientHello — The connection fails with a fragmented post-quantum
ClientHellobut succeeds with classical handshakes. Typically caused by middleboxes or firewalls that cannot reassemble split TLS messages. - HRR Failure — The server sends a
HelloRetryRequestbut fails to complete the handshake afterward. - Unknown Keyshare — The server cannot handle unknown key exchange algorithms and fails instead of responding with a
HelloRetryRequestas required by the TLS 1.3 specification.
Bug detection data is available through the existing /post_quantum/tls/support endpoint.
Visit the Post-Quantum Encryption ↗ page to test a host.
