Re: Weak TCP Sequence Numbers in Sonicwall SOHO Firewall

Dan,

Did you run this scan against the internal or external interface
of the SonicWall? Every scan I've ever run against a SonicWall
from the outside exhibited the OS Characteristics of the OS
actually running services port forwarded behind it.

e.g. a friend with a SonicWall was running his web and mail
servers behind a Sonicwall on an AIX box. When we nmap scanned
the external interface of the Sonicwall, it showed up as an
AIX box.

This may not seem bad, but to me it seems that this defeats the point of NAT
if somebody can steal your sessions.  Note the section on TCP sequence

Host  (192.168.1.254) appears to be up ... good.
Initiating SYN half-open stealth scan against  (192.168.1.254)
Adding TCP port 80 (state open).
The SYN scan took 8 seconds to scan 1523 ports.
For OSScan assuming that port 80 is open and port 1 is closed and neither
are firewalled
Interesting ports on  (192.168.1.254):
(The 1518 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port       State       Service
23/tcp     filtered    telnet
67/tcp     filtered    bootps
80/tcp     open        http
137/tcp    filtered    netbios-ns
514/tcp    filtered    shell
