I Think it´s a good idea to make internal scan to see the hosts vulnerability and a external scan with a low frequency, to have the results of a external hacker.

I have the same problem, and what I did is to install a nessus probe on each network separated by the firewall, and then launch the attacks locally, using NessusWX (back when it was supported, any news about this) I could managed all my probes and scans from a central point, in order to avoid the blocking on the firewall, and the corresponding amount of alerts. You can do the same in a machine with Linux installed, just use the Nessus client to connect to the different probes. I even tried a rule with "any" on ports/services, it didn't work, it would still be stopped by Smartdefense, which is kind of nice (no way of allowing an attack thru due to human error).

What tools we should use? (Nessus, Internet Scanner) 2. Would the penestration test/VA scanning be successful thru fw? 2. Is there any add'l ports need to be opened? Please help, Thanks, Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
