CyberCop Scanner Getting Started Guide

Getting Started: Performing a Scan
Module Configuration Template
A module configuration template contains a preselected set of module classes and
modules to run for a scan. In the Setup Walkthrough program, you will be asked to
select one of the module configuration templates listed below:
• Default
• All Modules
• CASL checks
• Denial of Service
• DNS checks
• FTP checks
• HTTP checks
• Information checks
• NT Policy checks
• Password Grinding
• Port Scanning
• SMTP checks
• Unix checks
• Windows checks
The Default template has the following modules disabled: module class 8000 (Denial
of Service Attacks), module class 9000 (Password Guessing/Grinding), and certain
modules in other module classes which are considered dangerous because they could
cause machines to crash, for example certain port scanning modules.
The All Modules template enables all modules including Denial of Service Attacks
and other modules considered dangerous. The other module templates can be used to
perform various types of scans.
NOTE: Important! The module class named Denial of Service Attacks is
disabled in the Default template. We recommend that you do not perform Denial
of Service checks on your network for this tutorial. In order to check for these
vulnerabilities, an actual hostile attack must be performed against a computer.
Denial of Service Attacks can have undesirable effects, including network
congestion, computer instability, crashes, and reboots.
NOTE: Enabling password grinding functions can result in account lockout(s)
for systems with password grinding protection enabled.
Scan Settings Template
Finally, you will be asked to select a scan settings template. A scan settings template
contains a set of scan parameters that will be used for a scan. A default scan settings
template labeled Default is provided.
