Just for fun, I thought I would toss in that while we don't use the ADT system in our environment, I have seen the multicast feature on Ghost panic HP switches to the point of bringing the LAN down. -----Original Message----- From: Huston, Matt [mailto:mhustonat_private] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 6:17 AM To: 'John Swensson' Cc: 'vuln-devat_private' Subject: RE: ADT enterNET and Symantec Ghost John, I had the very same problem about a month ago. The irony is that the multicast server is behind an ADT protected door to our server room, thereby disallowing us to get in and remedying the problem until after the ghost session ended. I noticed the exact instance and was suspicious, but did not continue or investigate further. (we don't push images very frequently) Thanks for the verification. Other than the recommendations you provide below, have you heard any advice or comments from either vendors? Thanks again for the confirmation.

There's no software to load: this application works over your network Internet connection, through your regular web browser! And through this simple connection, you can both monitor and reprogram your security system on any Internet-equipped network (LAN or WAN) computer. enterNET(tm): Symantec Ghost Multicast Server http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?productID=3 Both good products, both products I use. I ran into a weird little problem when using both products at once. It seems that using the multicast function in Ghost will cause the ADT product to stop responding and prevent users from using their keycards to access the building! Now this can be solved by either using Symantec's Unicast or Subnet targeted broadcast or just leaving enterNET off your network. I was wondering if anyone has ran into this problem before? -john John Swensson jswenssonat_private
