Summary:
The application fingerprinting tool Amap has been detected in HTTP traffic.
--
Impact:
An attacker may be attempting to gather information about services on a
monitored network, in order to discover vulnerabilities in those services.
--
Detailed Information:
Amap is an application fingerprinting tool released by a group of security
experts called THC, "The Hacker's Choice"; it is designed to identify services
reliably irrespective of the port they are run on. Amap functions by sending
"triggers" to open ports on a remote system which are designed to elicit a
response from a particular service. This rule is designed to detect the SSL
trigger sent by the program.
--
Affected Systems:
Any system running an SSL-enabled web server.
--
Attack Scenarios:
Attackers will use the Amap application fingerprinting tool.
--
Ease of Attack:
Simple, as the program is publicly available and is well-documented.
--
False Positives:
None known.
--
False Negatives:
None known.
--
Corrective Action:
