    Good evening,

    The Raptor (Symantec Enterprise) firewall, by default, runs several standard
    proxies (FTP, Telnet, HTTP, NNTP, SMTP, DNS, etc) that will return an open
    state to a scanner (these can be disabled by the admin but usually aren't).
    Add user defined GSP's to the mix and you can have hundreds of "open" ports.
    The trick is unless a rule has been setup to allow you to utilize the
    port/proxy to reach a server behind the firewall or in the DMZ, you really
    can't do much of anything with it. There have been a couple of DDoS attacks
    against the telnet and DNS proxies that I know of that have been patched.

    The SEF (Raptor) has two common ways of administration. The RCU (only on
    UNIX and depreciated in versions 7 and 8) and the RMC (from a Microsoft
    plug-in). Both can connect remotely via port 418 and both are encrypted.
    Rempass must also be run to enable these communications. The firewall admin
    will need to specify a FQDN or IP address and a passphrase specific to each
    workstation that they wish to be able to connect from.

    If your going to try to attack the servers behind the firewall, be sure to
    make everything RFC compliant as the Raptor is very strict when it comes to
    this (unless the admin selected "Disable application data scanning" when he
    created the rule).

    One feature with a Raptor firewall is that they seems to respond
    affirmatively to tons of stuff. For example, a portscan on pen-tests that
    I've done have shown lots of ports being open that really weren't. I haven't
    seen specifically what you're talking about with an admin login 'cuz I
    haven't gotten a login on any of them but I get ports showing up as open
    that I have verified are not actually open.

    I am testing a couple of Raptor firewalls (6.1 apparently). And I ran Brutus
    on port 80 just to see what's going to happen using Forms authentication. It
    does pick up 2 successful authentications using (admin and backup as
    logins). However, this cannot be right as first of all it picks up different
    passwords (like aaa or academia on different runs) and secondly a web
    browser session on port 80 comes back with: " Service Unavailable The proxy
    is currently unable to handle the request due to a (possibly) temporary
    error. Extended error information is:

    If this situation persists, please contact your firewall administrator. "

    Any ideas?
