Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.113757
Category:	Product detection
Title:	discard Service Detection (TCP)
Summary:	Checks whether the discard service is running; on the target host.
Description:	Summary: Checks whether the discard service is running on the target host. Vulnerability Insight: The discard service sets up a listening socket and then ignores all data it receives. Notes: Some firewall devices are known to discard packets on the checked port 9/tcp or mimic such a service via other means. Scanning through a firewall should be generally avoided (Please see references). If the target was scanned through a firewall and it was determined / has been verified that no such service is running on the target please either: - create an override for this result - configure the firewall in a way that port 9/tcp is not reported as being open during the port scanning phase / it is not allowed to open a TCP connection to port 9/tcp on the target CVSS Score: 0.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:N
