AppSentry? for the Oracle E-Business Suite detects security risks and vulnerabilities within Oracle Applications and its technology stack ? database, application server, web server, and operating system. AppSentry uses advanced penetration testing techniques to discover security risks in the operating system, web servers, application servers, databases, and application. Tests for known exploits and configuration errors are performed externally to the application in an attempt to break-in. Common and well-known network ports, web server directories, and database accounts are probed to identify vulnerabilities in the configuration. Many of the tests are specific to the Oracle E-Business Suite, thus missed by most other security scanners. The password module will brute-force operating system, web server, database, and application authentication using either default passwords, dictionary attacks, or a password list.
