Understanding CHAM – Common Hacking Attack Methods
eEye
Digital Security incorporated its proprietary CHAM technology
into
Retina Network Security Scanner as a way to offer advanced
vulnerability
detection to those seeking to substantially challenge their
network
infrastructure. While Retina is the industry’s fastest and
most
comprehensive
non-intrusive scanner, utilizing the CHAM feature is
strictly
for advanced users and subjects the network to intrusive
penetration
testing.
This
paper outlines the normal scanner functionality as it compares
to
CHAM
and how/when CHAM should be utilized.
The
Retina Foundation
eEye’s
Retina Network Security Scanner is recognized as the best
vulnerability
assessment and remediation product on the market –
setting
the standard in terms of speed, ease of use, reporting, non
intrusiveness
and
advanced scanning capabilities using AI technology.
Retina’s
speed is unmatched, as it can scan every machine on a
network,
including a variety of operating systems, networked devices
and
third-party or custom applications, all in record time. Retina
can
scan
an average Class C network in under 15 minutes, up to 15X
faster
than the competition and was the only scanner capable of
reliably
scanning an entire Class B network in under 2 hours. As a
result,
Retina won the 2002 Network World Blue Ribbon Award over
the
leading competitors and was rated as the best vulnerability
scanner
on the market.
After
scanning, Retina delivers a comprehensive report that details
all
vulnerabilities
on the systems tested and suggests appropriate fixes
such
as downloading related patches or using Retina’s automatic
repair
capabilities to correct improper configurations. The
vulnerabilities
Retina audits are continuously updated and users can
even
create custom audits via Retina’s open architecture and easy
to
use
interface.
For
distributed enterprise environments, Retina can be deployed in
conjunction
with REM™ Remote Enterprise Management to create a
robust
enterprise vulnerability assessment and remediation
management
system. Enterprise customers often prefer this
Retina/REM
centralized vulnerability assessment management and
remediation
structure. More information on REM and the enterprise
solution
is available online via the eEye website.
