Hi There I am in the process of configuring our fortigate 60 and was wondering whether i can turn off the banner message on the ssh protocol port 22. At present it comes up with ' SSH-2.0-FortiSSH_2.5' i would like to change this to something more generic. Also has anyone else had problems with GFI languard reporting open ports. i use GFI to check firewall and it came up with loads of UDP ports which it said were open? regards Terry

    I dont think you can change the banner. What port numbers did it say was open ? they may be the VPN ones.

    Its the SSH Port TCP/UDP 22 .. what i want to do is stop the firewall giving out free info such as when people use banner grabbing techniques to obtain prior information . Its just me being cautious . Thanks any way.. if i do figure a way round this i will post a message..... i am also looking for a report tool for the log files that are generated, i have looked at forti reporter... any other products available...
