4. Next you must select a module configuration template. CyberCop Scanner
includes several predefined module configuration templates which you can use to
perform various types of scans.
You have three options: select an existing template, edit an existing template, or
create a new template. To learn more about selecting a module configuration
template, see the section, “Creating and Editing Module Configuration
Templates,” later in this chapter.
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.
Click Next to continue.
5. Next you must select a scan settings template. You have three options: select an
existing template, edit an existing template, or create a new template. To learn
more about selecting a scan settings template, see the section, “Creating and
Editing Scan Settings Templates,” later in this chapter.
Then click Next.
6. Click Finish to exit the Setup Walkthrough program.
The new scan configuration file will be saved and loaded, ready to be used for the next
scan. The Setup Walkthrough program will then close. The name of the new scan
configuration file will be displayed in the CyberCop Scanner title bar.
You can view your selected scan settings using the Configure>Scan Settings... menu
item. You can view the selected modules using the Configure>Module Settings...
menu item. You can also view selected scan settings and module settings by switching
to the Current Configuration tab of CyberCop Scanner. The Current Configuration
tab also lists the current settings of variables associated with modules in the
Vulnerability Database.
