Wrong. You need to give a Host field.


ok, I'll use netcat instead, with the code you suggest.


Anyone got an idea on why Nessus reports a positive?


1. You are right as far as the %00 is concerned: something is missing.
2. Although the code is not clear, the plugin checks that there is no
directory index with a normal / request (some servers have no
index.html page). So it should not do a FP.


Rather than using Telnet, try something like this:
echo -e 'GET /%00/ HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: yourhost\r\n\r\n' | nc youhost 80


Here's the output from your command:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Length: 0
Server: Allegro-Software-RomPager/3.10

I'll add some debug messages (-> nessusd.dump) to this plugin, just
in case.


I just started a scan with only port 3052 and weblogic plugin enabled, and the only thing in nessusd.dump is :

error: 'kern.maxfiles' is an unknown key

And the report shows the same output as before.

Thx. I will try to sniff the network traffic, and mail it to you directly if that's ok? (and to George Theall, also?).

Sincerely
Max Andersen
