| | I was port scanning some machines of mine and I got to my XP box and hit a brick wall. This was odd because not too long ago I scanned the same box and it was as open as could be. I started thinking and realized that I installed SP2 since the last scan. This is a test box so the only extras on it are the regular Microsoft updates and Norton AV. As it turns out the SP2 firewall blocked everything that I threw at it. This is a surprise since it is afterall a Microsoft prodect. This is mostly to any security experts. Is there a way around the SP2 firewall? I use nmap under windows and got nothing except when running -sT (TCP connect) and then I only get port 25 which I suspect is a false positive. Any suggestions? |
