Scanning on a remote box

[slipparse]

I was wondering if you friendly guys of suck-o.com could help me out with this problem I have.

I am doing my first scans with dfind atm. I know there are better scanners outthere like nmap but as dfind is quite easy to use, I thought it would be a good thing to start with. After I have upped dfind on this remote box with flashfxp I go to the command line typing:

site exec DFind.exe -p 445 xxx.xxx.0.0 xxx.xxx.255.255

Then normally Dfind would start scanning with a little text file as a result. Unfortunately sth goes wrong in this process. After a few seconds it already stops scanning with no results in my text file.

TYPE A
200 Type set to A.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx)
LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
site exec DFind.exe -p 445 xxx.xxx.0.0 xxx.xxx.255.255
200 EXEC command successful (TID=33).
421 Connection timed out - closing.
Connection lost: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

okay, this was a stupid question to ask

It's perfectly normally that flash fxp times out after you have given the command. The box just keeps on scanning and you just have to come back at a later point to collect the results.

Slipparse, use your fuckin common sense LOL

silly me

hehe....
well, imo the best is still nmap, not just because of it´s scanning abilities, by simply learning how to use it you learn about TCP/IP-protocol too which is inevitable. and if you have mod_perl installed try nikto (or install ActivePerl on your home box and run it from there)...

good stuff, m8. Thanks alot I will check it out.

Must say my first scans have not been successfull. I don't know what I am doing wrong, I thought I was scanning a good range but apparently I was wrong.

COMMAND: DFind.exe -p 445 xx.88.0.0 xx.95.255.255
IPrange scan complete. Found 0 port(s) / 522240 IP(s) scanned
