Re: Securing pgm folder on IFS

Nothing is accessible from the public internet.

The IBM I is behind a solid fire wall.

The penetration test was from inside our network as agreed to by mgmt.

We were NOT informed to make it a fair test.

Our company recently underwent penetration testing from an outside vendor. Auditors are on the prowl.

The penetration tester (former hacker) was able to map a drive as anonymous and modify one of our .sh scripts (BAD).

We removed GUEST in Netserver to resolve that issue.
Du I understand correctly that the netserver port(s) (139 and/or 445) of said machine are accessible from the internet?

*Very bad idea!*

:wq! PoC
