Thank you for your help and answers guys and thousands of apologies. I guess I was rather incomplete in describing the network that I am testing. According to the network's administrator, there is no firewall ( not even a Personal one) or IDS that are filtering the traffic towards my target. It was approved that the application that is filtering my connections to the seemed to be open ports, is the management and control application (I have a rough guess that it's some kind of IBM's Tivoli app.). I can port scan the target, but I cant run any scanner to build a rough image of security status of the system. I am getting my hands dirty for the last week, but with no avail. Does anyone has any idea about methods to bypass management apps (maybe I need to try and DoS it)? Thanks again, Ronen. -----Original Message----- From: Ronen Gottlib [mailto:ronenat_private] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 10:54 AM To: pen-testat_private Subject: pen testing management and control system Hi All, I am pen testing a windows 2000 advanced server, with some kind of management and control software (e.g. Tivoli, Netcool). The system has IIS 6.0 running with lockdown enabled. When I tried to run nessus, my ip was blocked for quite a long time. same happened with nikto. Further more, although quite a few ports were found to be open on the remote machine, the management and control application is blocking the most of them while allowing access only to the following: 21, 23(ms telnet server), 25(Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.2600.1106), 80 (Microsoft-IIS/6.0), 110 (Microsoft Windows POP3 Service Version 2.0), 3389. The system is also running Hummingbird Exceed. Does anyone have any idea? I've kind of reached a dead end. Below is the results of an Nmap, if it helps. Thank you very much for your help- Ronen.
