Re: CIS Scanner

[Matt Kettler <mkettler () evi-inc com>]

Ok, first some info for the rest of the list..... CIS is cerebrus internet 
scanner.. A NT based vulnerability scanning tool. I know that *I* did not 
know what CIS was until I did some searches ;)

At any rate, based on about 10 seconds of casual playing with it the tool, 
it sounds like either:
1) you're out of disk space
2) there's no "reports" subdir in the directory cerebrus is running in.

Most likely #2.

Cerebrus WILL fail unless you have a reports sub-dir, which is why there is 
such a directory included in the zipfile. Please don't delete it and expect 
the program to run.. it's frail and has pathetically vague error messages 
and lousy error handling.

(gee, you'd think that by the time they got to version 5.0.0.2 they'd 
figure out how to create a sub-directory if none is present).


And no need to shout about your insecurity that your snort box isn't 
running on an "IX" :)
