Hi Chris, Actually it seems to be the opposite. The standard administration account under IPSO is "admin". "fw1adm" is not an account known by IPSO. When I try every account under the /etc/passwd file on IPSO 3.6 or IPSO 3.4.1, if I input the wrong password, I get the "Login incorrect" message just after the first try on the password: login: admin Password: Login incorrect login: root Password: Login incorrect login: daemon Password: Login incorrect If you enter a non existing account in that file, you get the second prompt for the password: login: fw1adm Password: Password: Login incorrect login: hello Password: Password: Login incorrect login: fzefzeop Password: Password: Login incorrect I don't think that behaving has been addressed by Nokia.

Hey, I was performing a pentest recently for a client, and found what seems to be a user enumeration bug within Nokia IPSO (unknown as to which version and patchlevel) running Checkpoint FW-1: pipex-gw>telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ... Open IPSO (checkpointcharlie) (ttyp0) login: root Password: Login incorrect login: blah Password: Login incorrect login: fw1adm Password: Password: Login incorrect login: fw1adm Password: Password: Login incorrect Login timed out after 300 seconds [Connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx closed by foreign host] pipex-gw> Obviously the fw1adm user exists, being the standard account under FW-1.. but I was wondering if anyone had seen this before, or even if this issue had been addressed by Nokia?
