I've come across a few XP hosts that are trying to be sneaky with the "Internet Firewall" feature enabled. I've seen responses from NMAP SYN and ACK scanning while seeing next to nothing on Nessus. Also, I am unable to uncover any additional information about the hosts and available services. Do you have any tips on beating the XP "firewall?" Perhaps there is a post in the archives. -Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Spett [mailto:kspett () spidynamics com] Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 10:59 AM To: r00t () online ie; pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Apache Chunked Encoding Vulnerability on AIX (RS6000) What happens when you run a chunked encoding exploit against it? If you don't get a response and your connection is suddenly terminated, it's vulnerable. I would not consider the server "safe" just because no one has posted exploit code for it to bugtraq either.

Hi All, I am currently pen-testing an AIX platform, which utilises Apache and IBM
HTTP
server in order to communicate with a back-end AS400 enviornment. I have scanned the remote host with the eeye tool Retina - Apache Chunked scanner V 1,0,3, which reports the host vulnerable. It would appear the tool attempts to exploit the vulnerability by
attempting to
send a small request that makes a vulnerable server to become
unresponsive.
Would I be right to say that this vulnerability is not exploitable on an
RS6000
platform, given the current exploits in the wild, and the eeye tool is
again
producing false positives ???????? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. ./Mark PS: SF Bid number = BID 5033 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
