Nmap Development: nmap crashes my appliance

["DePriest, Jason R." <jrdepriest () gmail com>]

The funny thing is, the appliance is a firewall.  I guess that's
called 'failing open' (as in a circuit, if you are an electrical
engineer) or 'failing closed' if you are anyone else.

The firewall is no longer supported by the vendor.  It is a Symantec
Firewall/VPN 200 running the latest and last firmware update release
1, version 8F (from November 2005).

I was trying to get an OS signature out of it, but what do you submit
if scanning crashes it?

> From the WAN side, you get no open ports at all and from the LAN side,
it varies depending on when it locks up.

Is a device like this even worth getting a fingerprint from?

I can slow the scan down and see if that helps any.

I already know what ports are supposed to be open on it (just port 80
for management), but that isn't enough to get a good fingerprint from.
