Dear Jesus, If you do not want to impact system resources and still discover unknown devices and type of devices, the you could use the pre-defined policy L1 Inventory in Internet Scanner. When doing this, be sure to select Ping Valid Hosts in your options before you scan. Hope this helps.

We are considering NMAP. But, ISS is our official product, we wanted to see if ISS would function similar to NMAP (not a full blown scan). In that it would not impact the scanning devices and yet distinguish the device types. I believe I misused the word stealth. What I really want is not to impact system resources and still discover unknown devices and type of devices. Thanks, Marc -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 9:57 AM Subject: RE: [ISSForum] ISS - Stealth - IP Sweep Why would you need it to be "stealth" to find machines on the network? IS performs ICMP echo request as the basic discovery tool. You can tailor a policy or use the inventory policy that comes with IS and look for services that are turned on to help determine what device it is that is responding. Perhaps using NMAP and building a host table would better suit your needs. regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Gonzalez, Jesus M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 4:06 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ISSForum] ISS - Stealth - IP Sweep Can ISS run a stealth IP sweep to find the items mentioned below. If so, how is it done? ( I'm not referring to the stealth port scan in the vulnerability db) I need to determine what devices (IP's) are on the network before scanning them. Can ISS do this? 1. If so, how and what information is echoed back to the scanning machine? 2. If so, is it possible to distinguish the responding devices to be firewalls, routers, or switches?
