Edmond,

Before running any port scanner (e.g. nmap) or vulnerability scanner
(e.g. nessus) do some basic research on the target
environment/application using Google.

Here is some research that I conducted with the information you provide:

1. The application WebBlaze is used to stored legal case information.
The application is web-based, but ties into other applications by the
vendor. Here is the web site for WebBlaze: http://www.summation.com/

2. WebBlaze works on Microsoft 2000 Server or Microsoft 2003 Server
based on the information at the vendor's website. You can telnet to
port 80 (e.g. 10.1.1.4 80) to obtain the IIS version information. MS
2000 Server = IIS 5.0 / MS 2003 Server = IIS 6.0.

3. Here is a link to WebBlaze system requirements:
http://info.summation.com/products/SP_webblaze_specs.htm

4. WebBlaze connects to a back-end application that can use MS SQLServer.

5. Since you know the client's company name you can use Google to find
potential user names for the application. The password length is set at
20-characters, but check the HTML source code of the site that you are
testing to verify.

6. The application does have an enforcement module that can lock-out
accounts. The application can monitor account lock-out. You will not
be able to brute force the login page if the administrator has the
lock-out feature enabled.

7. You can check for test accounts (e.g. test/test, test/password,
test/testpassword, testuser/testuser, testuser/password,
testuser/testpassword).

8. Contact the vendor and obtain an install manual for the WebBlaze
application which could provide you additional information about the
target application.

I hope that this information helps.

Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner:

Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your
website. Up to 75% of cyber attacks are launched on shopping carts, forms,
login pages, dynamic content etc. Firewalls, SSL and locked-down servers are
futile against web application hacking. Check your website for vulnerabilities
to SQL injection, Cross site scripting and other web attacks before hackers do!
