Firstly, you are giving up too much information. Now if I were a hacker/script kiddie lurking thru this newsgroup I know what exploits to try. I know what kind of firewall u are running. so now I can look up all the vulnerabilities in Checkpoint I know that FTP is running so now I hope you have it improperly configured. I know terminal services is running so now I can look up those vulnerabilities as well. Respectfully speaking, I think these are basic no no's. ----------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Gregory M.

According to my CTO, a guy named Jay Diceman will be the point man. Anyone ever hear of him? I hear he is a well known security expert (ex-hacker?)for the federal government. I have downloaded the Evaluated Security Configuration document created for Microsoft by Science Applications International Corporation. There are actually 2 of these. I think those .pdf's cover the Microsoft component. I don't even want him to get as far as any MS box. I am fairly new to security (2years) and my final exam is going to be a "Black Box" test and a "Crystal" test from some heinously gifted hacker from NASA... 1. What exactly will these 2 forms of intrusion concentrate on? 2. Is my hardware up to the task? I currently have a Fortigate Fortinet 50 configured for intrusion detection and prevention. I am currently blocking 1300+ known attacks. My FW is a CheckPoint Celestix with a physical DMZ path. The only questionable services allowed through are FTP (requirement) and Terminal Services (requirement). 3. What can I expect? Any input is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. Man I hope I still have a job in 2 weeks! gb --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
