Penetration Testing: RE: nessus exceptions

RE: nessus exceptions

Hi chris,

using a fake ftp server which emulates anonymous ftp and logging all the
requests should do the trick.
ISS, Nessus, and all other scanners use a password for the anonymous login
which is unique.
e.g. Nessus uses "nessus@" as anonymous password, ISS "-iss_at_iss", even old
satan :-) uses "-satan@"
you can identify even webbrowsers and other security tools like amap/nmap
etc.

You can use honeyd (www.honeyd.org) for this.

Greets,
Marc

Hi list,
Im trying to find some good holes, that aren't major security issues,
that i can create on a machine to see if our testing company really
uses anything other than nessus.
