Asunto: pushing exploits through the Firewall

Hi group
Say a pentester manages to discover a vulnerable version of BIND running on 
an external DNS server and has successfully sourced an exploit for the vuln.

==================
Sounds doable and usable =)
==================

I'm curious how it would be possible to launch the exploit against the 
server when a packet filtering device and stateful inspection Firewall sit 
between the pentester and the vuln host. It would seem at first glance that 
this is not a viable option. How else might one go about exploiting the 
vuln?

==================
I would just run the exploit, unless you have an IPS you are pretty much
doable since well firewall is just a filter, should let the port 53 go, if
you have one of tose 1 does it all then just change the shellcode or rewrite
the exploit, ala maybe sending tons of broken up packets and using IDS
bypassing techniques ....

Encrypted shellcodes work nicely to, have it exchange rc4 keys and voila it
wont detect the uname -a;id trigger string again if it has the IDS module
on, a simple firewall should just let you pass =)
==================
