RE: How to tweak tools against targets that block ICMP

["Demetris Papapetrou" <dpapapetrou () internalaudit gov cy>]

Jack hi,

I didn't have any stress problems with port forwarding tools so far. On the
other hand, I didn't try to tunnel through them large amounts of data.

Regarding your nessus/metasploit question, there is a really nice video by
Netinfinity on SecurityTube showing how to run a Nessus scan through a
compromised machine using SSH, proxychains and Metasploit's meterpreter. You
will find it very informative.

The link is:

-through-a-Meterpreter-Session-video.aspx

You are welcome,


Demetris Papapetrou

Hi Demetris Papapetrou

Now I know what you mean. I never think like this before.
Your thinking is one of Top Pentester's smart thinking.

My concern using port forwarding tools is that

- Can they actually handle or route the traffic of all kinds -
weird/high volume?
- Can the host machine be affected if core scanners like
nessus/metasplolit? Seems attacking own machine?



Thanks.
