If you have no explicit list of ciphers set in ssh_config using the Ciphers keyword, then the default value, according to man 5 ssh_config (client-side) and man 5 sshd_config (server-side), is:
aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,
[email protected],[email protected],
[email protected],
aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,aes192-cbc,
aes256-cbc,arcfour
Note the presence of the arcfour ciphers. So you may have to explicitly set a more restrictive value for Ciphers.
ssh -Q cipher from the client will tell you which schemes your client can support. Note that this list is not affected by the list of ciphers specified in ssh_config. Removing a cipher from ssh_config will not remove it from the output of ssh -Q cipher. Furthermore, using ssh with the -c option to explicitly specify a cipher will override the restricted list of ciphers that you set in ssh_config and possibly allow you to use a weak cipher. This is a feature that allows you to use your ssh client to communicate with obsolete SSH servers that do not support the newer stronger ciphers.
nmap --script ssh2-enum-algos -sV -p <port> <host> will tell you which schemes your server supports.
