TCP/IP Fingerprint OS Estimate: Undetermined

The computer fails because a risk of 4 or more was found. Look in the Security Vulnerabilities section below for instructions to reduce your security risk.

Attackers typically use footprinting, port scanning and security vulnerability testing to find security weaknesses on computers. This report provides information on each of these categories.

Footprinting
Find public information regarding this IP, which an attacker could use to gain access:

Port Scan
Attackers use a port scan to find out what programs are running on your computer. Most programs have known security weaknesses. Disable any unnecessary programs listed below.

Port Scan
Protocol Port Program Status Summary Turn Off
ALL Firewall Present Your computer appears to be behind a firewall. Using a properly configured firewall is a good security practice.
ICMP Ping Accepting Your computer is answering ping requests. Hackers use Ping to scan the Internet to see if computers will answer. If your computer answers then a hacker will know your computer exists and your computer could become a hacker target. You should install a firewall or turn off Ping requests. HowTo
TCP 25 smtp Open Your computer is running SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol). This can be a security risk since a hacker can verify user names when this service is running. If you do not need to run SMTP then turn it off. If you must run SMTP then be sure to run the latest version. HowTo
TCP 80 http Open Your computer appears to be running http software that allows others to view its web pages. If you don't intend this computer to allow others to view its web pages then turn this service off. There are many potential security vulnerabilities in http software. HowTo
TCP 110 pop-3 Open Some POP3 services are vulnerable to buffer overflows. Download latest version of your POP3 service from vendor. HowTo


Security Vulnerabilities
An attacker probes your computer for weaknesses using vulnerability detection tools. The following section lists all security vulnerabilities detected on your computer.

Each vulnerability is ranked on a scale of 0 to 9, with 9 being critical. A risk of 4 or more will fail the test.

Security Vulnerabilities
Protocol Port Program Risk Summary
TCP 80 http 7 IIS 5 has support for the Internet Printing Protocol(IPP), which is enabled in a default install. The protocol is implemented in IIS5 as an ISAPI extension. At least one security problem (a buffer overflow) has been found with that extension in the past, so we recommend you disable it if you do not use this functionality. Solution: To unmap the .printer extension: 1.Open Internet Services Manager. 2.Right-click the Web server choose Properties from the context menu. 3.Master Properties 4.Select WWW Service -> Edit -> HomeDirectory -> Configuration and remove the reference to .printer from the list. Risk Factor : High
TCP 80 http 7 The IIS server appears to have the .HTR ISAPI filter mapped. At least one remote vulnerability has been discovered for the .HTR filter. This is detailed in Microsoft Advisory MS02-018, and gives remote SYSTEM level access to the web server. It is recommended that even if you have patched this vulnerability that you unmap the .HTR extension, and any other unused ISAPI extensions if they are not required for the operation of your site. Solution: To unmap the .HTR extension: 1.Open Internet Services Manager. 2.Right-click the Web server choose Properties from the context menu. 3.Master Properties 4.Select WWW Service -> Edit -> HomeDirectory -> Configuration and remove the reference to .htr from the list. Risk Factor : High
TCP 80 http 7 The IIS server appears to have the .IDA ISAPI filter mapped. At least one remote vulnerability has been discovered for the .IDA (indexing service) filter. This is detailed in Microsoft Advisory MS01-033, and gives remote SYSTEM level access to the web server. It is recommended that even if you have patched this vulnerability that you unmap the .IDA extension, and any other unused ISAPI extensions if they are not required for the operation of your site. Solution: To unmap the .IDA extension: 1.Open Internet Services Manager. 2.Right-click the Web server, and choose Properties from the context menu. 3.Master Properties 4.Select WWW Service -> Edit -> HomeDirectory -> Configuration and remove the reference to .ida from the list. Risk Factor : High CVE : CAN-2002-0071
TCP 80 http 4 Your webserver supports the TRACE and/or TRACK methods. It has been shown that servers supporting this method are subject to cross-site-scripting attacks, dubbed XST for 'Cross-Site-Tracing', when used in conjunction with various weaknesses in browsers. An attacker may use this flaw to trick your legitimate web users to give him their credentials. Solution: Disable these methods. See http://www.whitehatsec.com/press_releases/WH-PR-20030120.pdf http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/vulnwatch/2003-q1/0035.html Risk Factor : Medium
TCP 80 http 1 Asking the main page, a Content-Location header was added to the response. By default, in Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, the Content-Location references the IP address of the server rather than the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Hostname. This header may expose internal IP addresses that are usually hidden or masked behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) Firewall or proxy server. Solution: See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q218/1/80.ASP Risk Factor : Low CVE : CAN-2000-0649
TCP 3389 unknown 1 The Terminal Services are enabled on the remote host. Terminal Services allow a Windows user to remotely obtain a graphical login (and therefore act as a local user on the remote host). If an attacker gains a valid login and password, he may be able to use this service to gain further access on the remote host. Solution : Disable the Terminal Services if you do not use them Risk Factor : Low
UDP 0 general/udp 0 For your information, here is the traceroute to XX.XXX.XXX.XXX : x.x.x.x 192.41.65.161 216.250.136.57 216.250.136.73 157.130.166.197 152.63.91.250 152.63.102.14 152.63.2.34 152.63.53.246 152.63.52.229 204.255.174.178 12.123.13.70 12.122.2.169 12.122.3.69 12.122.2.98 12.122.1.97 12.123.212.5 12.119.233.222 ?
