Hello All,

We have come across a site the we were auditing and conducting network
vulnerability scans, and the Nessus report came up empty. We figured out
that it was due to having FDCC implemented and the Nesssus scanner was
unable to access the machine. It would detect the host being there but
not able to access any of the host's ports.

Any one else encounter this and has found a solution?



If you are performing a network scan, without credentials and the
FDCC host has a firewall enabled, you will likely not find anything,
which is a good thing for a desktop hardened system.

If you want to perform an FDCC audit, you should see these blog
