I'm currently pentesting C class subnet.
It seems that it hosts webservers, as a large number of IP @ replied OK to port 80 scan.
However I dont think that for each IP adress there is a physical server, but perhaps a multiplexing device that also does application firewalling.
According to nmap it may be a Blue Coat SG4.
When I browse to the IPs with firefox, I recieve several messages "No web site is configured at this address." for some IP.
Does anybody here know if this message is specific to a given reverse proxy/web server product ?
Any other experiences similar to this situation are welcome.




Actually, it could be just about any firewall/security device in the path that has a port 80 opened for some devices behind it and answers up front for all devices behind it. I do not think enough info is provided here for anyone to make that determination, and it's hard to collect and disseminate this is the case without actually being the firewall/network admoin for the site in question. There are clues that can lead on to make a guess this is the setup you are facing, but not way to fully determine this is the case, with a properly configured set of security devices up front. Then again, could be someone opening a listener on the other IP's in qustion that is not web oriented, your test with firefox is in itself insuficcient to flesh that out as well.

Thanks,
