RE: Exploit Tool

Hi,

There is one question that tickles me from long time ago.  If you check on Shadow Security Scanner and Retina Scanner 
from Eeye, they resemble each other.

Anyone knows if they are using a common GUI, or either 'copying' the others ?

I found very little documentation on the official website(russian) for SSS.

Thank you

Shadow Security Scanner is currently the hot tool in the exploit checking
circles.  It's exploit DB is regularly updated with the latest and
greatest.  It not only checks to see if the exploit exists, it tests the
exploit and then reports back it's findings.

- You can customize your scans to include or exclude what filters/exploits
you want to test on.
- You can run the test against a single IP or a range.
- Reports are delivered in HTML format but can be exported to a number of
other formats

Do a search at Google for it.

Sorry for the dumb question...but someone must be able to help...

There are loads of tools out there to identify vulnerabilites, I for one am
using Retina 4.9. This is good in that it tell you exactly how to fix the
problem.

What I would like to know is if there are any tools out there that will
find
the vulnerabilitites and test them, i.e. Try to exploit them.

For example, running the vulnerability scanner against a particular host
list the following as a vulnerability;

Web Servers: TCP:80 - IIS HTR ISAPI CHUNKING BUFFER OVERFLOW
DESCRIPTION:            A vulnerability in IIS involving the processing of
chunked HTTP data and it's use by the HTR ISAPI, can be exploited by an
attacker to                                         remotely execute the
code of his choice
RISK LEVEL:                High
HOW TO FIX:                Microsoft has released a hotfix to eliminate
this
vulnerability
RELATED LINKS:        Microsoft Security Bulletin
                                        eEye Advisory
CVE:                            CAN-2002-0364

What I would like to know is, if there is a tool that could demonstrate
this
vulnerability by exploting it.  Of course this would be done in a test
environment only, but it is to demonstrate the exploit to a client who
thinks these things are rarely exploited.

Thanks


JM
