Kerberos PingPong attack |
||
|
Searches for the existence of a bad krb server Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is running a kerberos server, which seems to be vulnerable to a 'ping-pong' attack. When contacted on the UDP port, this service always respond, even to malformed requests. An easy attack is 'ping-pong' in which a possible hacker spoofs a packet between two machines running this service. This will cause them to spew characters at each other, slowing the machines down and saturating the network. Solution : Disable this service if you do not use it.
