CA 2355895

Disclosed is a method of and apparatus for ascertaining system vulnerabilities of shareable devices, such as servers in a network, starting with only a list of all assigned addresses used by the system (204). A query is sent consecutively to each address on the list. Those addresses from which a response is not received are filtered from the list and used to generate an "unused" list (210). By checking the response received from the remaining addresses, non shareable devices may be ascertained and likewise filtered from the list while being used to generate a "non shareable" list (216). The remaining addresses thus all relate to shareable devices (215) which can then be efficiently scanned for system vulnerabilities and a report generated as to data revealed when a report is desired.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de vérification de la vulnérabilité du système de dispositifs partagés, tels que des serveurs dans un réseau, en n'utilisant au départ qu'une liste de toutes les adresses attribuées utilisées par le système (204). On envoie ensuite une demande à chaque adresse sur la liste. On retire les adresses n'envoyant pas de réponse de la liste et on les utilise pour générer une liste <= non utilisées >=(210). En contrôlant la réponse envoyée par les adresses restantes, on peut vérifier les dispositifs non partagés et les retirer de la liste tout en les utilisant pour générer une liste <= non partagés >=. Ainsi, les adresses restantes sont toutes liées aux dispositifs partagés (215) qu'on peut alors scanner efficacement pour déterminer la vulnérabilité du système et générer un rapport sur les données révélées lorsqu'un rapport est souhaité.
