Re: Oracle Auditing

Basically, if you're running Oracle, you're vulnerable.  Not withstanding 
that opinion, without reservation, I recommend you look at "NGSSquirrel for 
Oracle."

http://www.ngssoftware.com/squirrelora.htm

NGS lead world-wide Oracle vulnerability discovery; if you want a product to 
identify these vulnerabilities, then get the assessment tool from the ones 
who find the issues to begin with.  Though I am friends with Dave, I don't 
recommend the product because of that-- in fact, he down-right pisses me off 
sometimes.  The reason I recommend it is because if your goal is to audit 
Oracle security, you must have NGSSquirrel to do so properly.

Good day,

I should preface this message by saying that I have little to no
experience with Oracle administration, and I'm looking to gain a bit
of information.

When performing some network scans, I notice that the Oracle database
rarely has a password set for the tnslsnr account. From the Nessus
scan results, I have learned that the database may be compromised
because of this null password. I've searched the web, and the majority
of the information I find talks about a DoS attack for Oracle 8.

My question becomes: Has anyone exploited this misconfiguration, and
if so - how? Is this an account that you can connect to without
expensive Oracle software?

Also, what other tools do you utilize to audit Oracle?

Thank you,

Joe
