Re: [PEN-TEST] Firewalking

Pepijn,

application level firealls will handle your request. you might connect to an
ip adress within the dmz, but talking to the firewall. i recognized this
behaviour for pix firewall or raptor.

try nmap -sO in nmap 2.54 to identify supported protocols

search for banners you haven't seen before in search engines. mostly one of
the open ports gives you information about firewalls

regards

Ivan

Hi all,

What would be the best way to determine what kind of firewall is running on
a server? Especially one that does not give out any banners.
TCP-fingerprinting is not possible because there are no obvious open ports.

Any comments on this would be welcome,
