Nmap is a utility for port scanning large networks, although it works fine for single hosts. Sometimes you need speed, other times you may need stealth. In some cases, bypassing firewalls may be required. Not to mention the fact that you may want to scan different protocols (UDP, TCP, ICMP, etc.). Nmap supports Vanilla TCP connect() scanning, TCP SYN (half open) scanning, TCP FIN, Xmas, or NULL (stealth) scanning, TCP ftp proxy (bounce attack) scanning, SYN/FIN scanning using IP fragments (bypasses some packet filters), TCP ACK and Window scanning, UDP raw ICMP port unreachable scanning, ICMP scanning (ping-sweep), TCP Ping scanning, Direct (non portmapper) RPC scanning, Remote OS Identification by TCP/IP Fingerprinting, and Reverse-ident scanning. Nmap also supports a number of performance and reliability features such as dynamic delay time calculations, packet timeout and retransmission, parallel port scanning, detection of down hosts via parallel pings.

If not changed, the PDT 8100 will reveal the WEP keys to any user in plain text by taping on the wireless icon on lower right hand of 8100 and scrolling to the 'encryption tab'. A stolen PDT 8100 or copied keys can allow an insider the ability to totally compromise the Wi-Fi network.

06a0532b6f5bf502d7995e8c3aae01db81045cd634c514dc2d89f1ab19d59781Superkit is an extremely user-friendly rootkit that hides files, processes, and connections. It provides a password protected remote access connect-back shell initiated by a spoofed packet. It is loaded via /dev/kmem, without support for loadable modules required, and cannot be detected by checking the syscall table, because it redirects the kernel entry point to a private copy of the syscall table. A couple of backdoors are included.

The first vulnerability exists because of a buffer overrun in the remote debug functionality of FrontPage Server Extensions. The second vulnerability is a Denial of Service vulnerability that exists in the SmartHTML interpreter.
a64a5bca634bcd946c38df1abd14ced1ff623dc64459d7b7e57a6a36c3f219f5Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-050 - A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel that could allow malicious code execution. This vulnerability exists because of the method Excel uses to check the spreadsheet before reading the macro instructions. If successfully exploited, an attacker could craft a malicious file that could bypass the macro security model. Another security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word that could allow malicious code execution. This vulnerability exists due to to the way Word checks the length of a data value (Macro names) embedded in a document. If a specially crafted document were to be opened it could overflow a data value in Word and allow arbitrary code to be executed.

This vulnerability results because of an unchecked buffer in the Workstation service. If exploited, an attacker could gain System privileges on an affected system, or could cause the Workstation service to fail. An attacker could take any action on the system, including installing programs, viewing data, changing data, or deleting data, or creating new accounts with full privileges.

10ef4bf26c1ab47ad1a7b53bc21aae94a7fe570686b961eb6d52b4a3d73035faCERT Advisory CA-2003-28 - A specially crafted network message can trigger a buffer overflow in Microsoft's Workstation server. The vulnerability is caused by a flaw in the network management functions of the DCE/RPC service and a logging function implemented in Workstation Service (WKSSVC.DLL). Various RPC functions will permit the passing of long strings to the vsprintf() routine that is used to create log entries. The vsprintf() routine contains no bounds checking for parameters thus creating a buffer overflow situation.
