There can be a multitude of things affecting you here. 1. Good that you notify these folks. Just out of curiosity, why would you perform vul assesment from behind a firewall? 2. The Framework could be sending over dozens of different ports, most of which are probably blocked as incoming at the firewall, even if they are part of an established session. They could also be blocked as outbound, again, depending on ruleset. 3. I'm not sure if you are referring to the source or destination port here. The source port really wont matter that much if the outbound rules on your firewall are wide open. If the firewall is watching outbound connections, then yes, you need to use ports that the firewall will tolerate. If you are referring to the destination port, then you must use the default port of the service that is being exploited. (assuming the target system is using default ports). Its important that you use these ports because that is how the target OS is determining what services to pass the network request to. 4. This almost seems as though you aren't fully establishing a connection. (the handshake process isn't successful) 5. The result of the exploit will depend on a.) whether or not it was successful and b.) what payload you are using in conjunction with the exploit. Hope this helps -Brad offset wrote:
