Arkoon identification

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Acertains if the remote host is an Arkoon

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host has the three TCP ports 822, 1750, 1751
open.

It's very likely that this host is an Arkoon security dedicated
appliance with ports

TCP/822 dedicated to ssh service
TCP/1750 dedicated to Arkoon Manager
TCP/1751 dedicated to Arkoon Monitoring

Letting attackers know that you are using an Arkoon
appliance will help them to focus their attack or will
make them change their strategy.

You should not let them know such information.

Solution : do not permit any connection on the
firewall itself, except for the firewall
protocol, and permit that for trusted sources
only.

If you have a router which performs packet
filtering, then add ACL that dispermits the
connection to these ports for unauthorized
systems.
