Subject: Open Tacacs on the Perimeter
I'm doing a VA and I found port 49 ( TACACS ) open on the perimeter router. All other ports are closed.
My would someone open TACACS to the internet? I'm guessing this is a config error because all the authenticating devices would be on the inside of the network due to this being the perimeter device.
If this was a PT what vectors would you have to exploit this open port? Looks like it is closed upon telnetting to anyway- however this could be due to the port looking for a certain response from a client????
