RE: AS400 Net Recon

Hello,

        I came across a website a few months back that showed me a few things to test for AS400. I read the whole thing 
and I found it pretty nice even if I assume it is far from complete. I'm sending this as a reference.

FYI: If you're doing a pen-test get a written approval of the steps you may take and the possible effect (DOS). If the 
client does not want down time, I would strongly suggest having a test lab first. In both cases, get it down on paper.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I have a client with AS400s on their LAN. They want a vulnerability
scan, but having been burned in the past, I want to ask before doing:
Are there any issues with scanning (nmap, nessus, etc.) AS400s?

While I am at it, any good information on AS400 security? I see a few
corporately published books for sale on the net about AS400 security,
but I don't want to drop a couple of grand for a book by some
organization I am not familiar with.

Any help appreciated.

Jon K.
