MPE/iX SPECIFIC NETWORKING
• MPE/iX security measures (cont)
– Other checking measures
• NETCONTROL checks
– Run NETCONTROL to take periodic traces of your network for potential attacks
– Check to see if unused ports are being probed
– NETCONTROL TRACEON=MSDB;PROT=TCP – Starts tracing
– NETCONTROL TRACEOFF;PROT=TCP – Stops tracing
– Use NMDUMP to format data – TCP is type 3
• Network Packet Sniffers
– Some MPE/iX networking tools are difficult to use
– Independent checks maybe easier and quicker to grasp
