What is Digg?25 Comments
- odysseus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nessus, in the wrong hands, just sucks. I had a client come up to me and said he wanted EVERYTHING on the nessus report blocked. For example, he wanted no open ports. I told him this would mean his web site would be blocked and he didn't understand why even after it was explained to him 5 times. He also wanted the Apache server's banner to read "Web Server" as the Nessus report suggested. OK, done. But the Nessus report continued to show "Your web server's banner reads "Web Server". OH NOES! And then it said "Consider changing it to something generic, such as "Web Server". Um, this was already done? Nessus should have a huge warning up top that says this report should only be read by experienced sysadmins.

- cmatheson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0spybreak: bgp is 'border gateway protocol' (http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/bgp.htm)
You should really google, it is much quicker than asking in the comments - spybreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nmap rocks. It's voodoo, and I haven't mastered it yet.
But it's fun.
$ nmap digg.com

What's bgp? - juicewvu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0worse than the man page No digg.
- sherlock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1nmap, the hacker program Trinity (Matrix) likes to use to hack power station systems.

Correct me if i am wrong but a ( cheatsheet != manpage ) - MacFlecknoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How is this useful?
What would be useful is a way to bring up a short list of command parameters and a synopsis of what these program do from the command line. Like type in "manual nmap" from the console and have this information come up even if you WERENT connected to the world wide web. Maybe we could shorten the name even... like to "man "....
Oh wait a minute. - amiable_indian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The site seems to be working , but if it fails on you .. you can view the same pdf over here : http://www.infosecwriters.com/text_resources/pdf/nessusNMAPcheatSheet.pdf
- JackDoyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"What's bgp?"
it's a routing protocol... you're right, you haven't mastered it yet. - phpkerouac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"In the time since I discovered Digg (a mere 2 months ago), it seems to have moved from being a relatively useful news service to a 'here's something for those who can't be arsed to use Google' service - this kinda stuff can be found by doing some simple searches and is a far cry from 'Technology News'. I was hoping Digg would turn out be be a useful community-supported news-pushing site, but instead it's becoming a mediocre blog that happens to have more than one contributor.
Just sayin'"
linker3000 -
no kidding. digg is full of cruddy top ten lists and re-hashes of old stories at this point. it has changed alot in the last month. Its still good for those of us that need a single place that provides varied content.
good for a web fixx. - kimos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No mirror? Can't find google cache and nyud isn't working...
- spiderland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Egh. Only switches are listed here, and this is VERY cursory.
Man pages, and in the case of nmap, the -h switch are MUCH more useful. No digg. - MindTrigger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0
how l337 - inetworkyou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We developed a killer app from the Nessus nbs data output so we can not only view and manage our vulnerabilities, we also use it to track out mitigations. Since 2004 we've knocked off over 80,000 vulnerabilities in a large enterprise environment. Nmap is our sanity check for additional verification against Nessus script ids' we think are suspect and generate false-positives. Kudos to Tenable Networks. Subscribe to their project and help keep them opensource!
- linker3000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0What's bgp - search Google for 'Well Known Ports' or even 'bgp 179'

Just sayin' - alterself, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0nmap only scans for open ports and service versions. she used an exploit in ssh to actually get in, after she verified the version of ssh was in fact there.
