RE: BlackICE and nmap

I believe that if you alter your timing you may also be able to
get by.

Try the "-T Sneaky" or "Paranoid" switch (as well as using decoys
or ip spoofing). The timing switch will slow things drastically
but you may get around it that way.

I have found that fragmenting the scan will evade most IDSes. This can
be
done with "nmap -f <hostip>"

Also, some IDSes only look for SYNs as far as portscanning is concerned.
So, if you're doing a FIN scan or an ACK scan, several IDSes will miss
it
entirely.

I do'nt know about BlackIce specifically, but if you could do the tests
I
just mentioned and report back here or to bugtraq, that would be cool =]

Hope this helps,
