If you think the vendor matters anywhere *NEAR* as much as the sysadmin who installed it, you probably shouldn't be doing a security review. Tandem gear has a long reputation of being hardware-reliable (mostly through lots and lots of redundancy). I'd not be surprised if most of their security is of the "via obscurity" variety - not many hacks available for it because not many people have access to one. Where to start? The usual: Unused services listening on ports Null/default passwords Un-needed software installed Some sort of Tripwire-style software installed System logging enabled, preferably with a copy to another machine File/device permissions.. That's probably enough to get you going.... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
