Module Overview

Name: CheckPoint Firewall-1 SecuRemote Topology Service Hostname Disclosure
Module: auxiliary/gather/checkpoint_hostname
Source code: modules/auxiliary/gather/checkpoint_hostname.rb
Disclosure date: 2011-12-14
Last modification time: 2020-10-02 17:38:06 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): -
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): 264
List of CVEs: -

This module sends a query to the port 264/TCP on CheckPoint Firewall-1 firewalls to obtain the firewall name and management station (such as SmartCenter) name via a pre-authentication request. The string returned is the CheckPoint Internal CA CN for SmartCenter and the firewall host. Whilst considered "public" information, the majority of installations use detailed hostnames which may aid an attacker in focusing on compromising the SmartCenter host, or useful for government, intelligence and military networks where the hostname reveals the physical location and rack number of the device, which may be unintentionally published to the world.

Module Ranking and Traits

Module Ranking:

  • normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.
