[Full-Disclosure] Vulnerability Scans

Hey,

 

I am doing a report on vulnerability scans and what should be included in
it. I came up with a list of what I think should be included in a scan for
in different operating systems. Wondering if you guys could direct me to
pages that can inform me or give me your ideas. Below is the lists I
created. This is for a scan on a single machine and is mostly targeted
towards Unix/Linux machines. Let me know.

 

            This section lists the Unix system security criteria:

1. /etc/passwd not world-writable

2. No unnecessary services running

3. FTP directory not writable by user anonymous

4. NFS not configured to be world-writable

5. Passwords not crackable by dictionary attack

6. .

7. .

 

1.1.1 Windows System Security Criteria

            This section lists the Windows system security criteria:

1. guest account disabled

2. No unnecessary services running

3. System patched with most recent applicable hot fixes

4. Passwords not crackable by dictionary attack

 

I have also included a port/services scan using nessus and the SANS Top 20
list.

 

 

Thanks,

Robert Raver
