RE: AS400 Net Recon

We have done vulnerability scans including the AS400s on our network
with no problem. The TCP stack on AS400 servers is really pretty
robust.

As far as books, we have a book that I use regarding AS/400 security, it
has helped me a bunch:

Implementing AS/400 Security by Wayne Madden
2nd edition, copyright 1995, Duke Press
ISBN: 1-882419-20-0

I hope this helps.

Subject: AS400 Net Recon
Hi,
I have a client with AS400s on their LAN. They want a vulnerability
scan, but having been burned in the past, I want to ask before doing:
Are there any issues with scanning (nmap, nessus, etc.) AS400s?
While I am at it, any good information on AS400 security? I see a few
corporately published books for sale on the net about AS400 security,
but I don't want to drop a couple of grand for a book by some
organization I am not familiar with.
Any help appreciated.
Jon K.
