ZoneAlarm Firewall can be easily scanned for open ports
Apr, 24 2000 - 20:42
ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com) is a very popular personal firewall for Microsoft Windows computers and easy to use for newbies because it is application based, meaning, you apply network permission to applications instead of ports.
This Firewall has been found to contain a serious security hole that would allow a remote attacker to TCP and UDP scan the entire host's port range without detection. This is done by specifying a special port number in the source port part of the TCP or UDP packet.

Vulnerable systems:
ZoneAlarm version 2.1.10
ZoneAlarm version 2.0.26

If one uses port 67 as the source port of a TCP or UDP scan, ZoneAlarm will let the
packet through and will not notify the user. This means, that one can TCP or UDP port
scan a ZoneAlarm protected computer as if there were no firewall there IF one uses port
67 as the source port on the packets.

Exploit:
UDP Scan:
You can use NMap to port scan the host with the following command line:
nmap -g67 -P0 -p130-140 -sU 192.168.128.88
(Notice the -g67 which specifies source port).

TCP Scan:
You can use NMap to port scan the host with the following command line:
nmap -g67 -P0 -p130-140 -sS 192.168.128.88
(Notice the -g67 which specifies source port).

No worries Madfish. If it was new news to you, it probably was to someone else as well.....

Better to overcommunicate something like this than to sit on the information.

Thanks

Boy, you got that right. I am also one of the ignorant ones...I know nothing about hacking, scannings ect...so, all of this is enlightning and informative. I just upgraded Z/A a day or two ago, and my version now is 2.6.88. I also run an additional utility called Jammer. It only notifies a user when some port scan comes along, to my knowledge...it does nothing to stop an entry. I have had Jammers alarm go off when Z/A was working...so, somebody apparently got by Z/A.

Zone Alarm Version ,2.1.44 looks quite good . It passes the norton security test no probs and scores the same as Norton Firewall.
