By Vikas Bagwe -

ike-scan

IPsec VPN scanning, fingerprinting and testing tool.

Overview

ike-scan is a command-line tool that uses the IKE protocol to discover, fingerprint and test IPsec VPN servers. It is available for Linux, Unix, MacOS and Windows under the GPL license.

Download

  • Source distribution: ike-scan-1.9.tar.gz
    This will compile on Unix and Linux systems as well as Windows systems with Cygwin. You will need a C compiler, the "make" utility and the appropriate system header files to compile ike-scan. It uses autoconf and automake, so compilation and installation is the normal ./configure; make; make install process.
  • Windows binary: ike-scan-win32-1.9.zip
    This is a zip file containing a Win-32 binary version of ike-scan together with the Cygwin DLL which provides posix support. It runs on Win-9x, NT, 2000 and XP. The executable was produced by compiling the ike-scan source on a Windows system running Cygwin.
  • RPM packages: http://www.stearns.org/ike-scan/
    Thanks to Bill Stearns for producing the RPM packages.
  • Previous versions of ike-scan are available at: http://www.nta-monitor.com/tools/ike-scan/archive/
    If you want an older version of the ike-scan software, you can get it from here.
  • Other pre-compiled packages: ike-scan is also available as a pre-compiled package for many other systems. The installation section of the ike-scan wiki contains details of the packages that I am aware of.

Documentation

The ike-scan wiki is the main source of documentation for ike-scan.
There are also Unix manpages included with the source distribution, which provide basic documentation on the usage and available options.

file & directory protection is a essential of any OS and Linux OS is no exception for it! These authorizations allow you to choose exactly who can access your files & directory, providing an overall improved system security. There was one of the major flaws in the older Windows operating-system where, by standard, all users can see each other people's information (Windows 95, 98, Me). For overcoming it, editions of the Windows based computer system such as NT, 2000, XP and 2003 lot more security features added. They fully support file & directory permissions, just as Linux system has since the beginning. Together, we'll now assess a directory listing from our Lab Linux system hosting server, to help us understand the information provided. a simple 'ls' command will give you the file and directory listing within a given directory, including the option  '-l' will display number of new areas that we are going to discuss here:
