I just ran a nessus scan against my private lan here at s1n.dyndns.org and the good news is there is no news. In fact, the only problems it had to report were there were a few services running that I knew about already. It did give me a warning that I needed to register my copy of nessus so I can receive a plugin feed, but I’m not sure what that is or what it means.
Next I will run rootkit scans and then look into seeing what samhain can provide. I’ll post comments with my results from that.
A clean nessus scan is always a great thing.
I just completed a rootkit check on citadel (desktop) and erebus (file server) but need to do some serious updating on babel (webserver) before I can say the entire network is clean.
I might try the samhain tests later today but not likely since I will try to update all of the machines. Updates take, depending on how many need to be updated, on the order of 2 days for the desktop and 1 day for the servers (gcc and glibc are a bitch to compile).
