I found this command line (suggested above) really, really useful:

$ nmap –script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 www.google.com

Make sure nmap is fairly up-to-date, otherwise you will miss too many interesting bits – seriously! In other words: it makes no sense at all working like this with an outdated nmap.
