Hello Rob,

You know how many times I've been asked to remove track/trace on the default Apache server that nobody uses? Pen test tools used are far more effective if someone has knowledge of IBM i.

Please, define a "hole". Pentesters yammer about Apache showing a version string. OMG! How very insecure! Today, this doesn't mean too much. My Apache gets strange log entries all the time and when looking at them, it appears that some bot is trying IIS exploits on it, or for ancient Apache versions. Since "pentesting" can be automated, also the bad guys do that. Most often, just interesting targets will be manually explored. It's a bit like the "call all numbers" from the Wargames Movie.

Stay current with PTFs, shut down ASJ/PSJ opening unneeded TCP ports, and a good deal of real possibilities to exploit something are gone. Of course, also here the old saying is true: You achieve 80% of your goal with 20% of work. But the last 20% need 80% of time…

:wq! PoC
