Armor vulnerability scan triggers temporary blacklisting on my NAS
The Armor vulnerability scanning feature is nice and a useful add-on, however: when it scans my NAS, the NAS interprets it as an attack and blocklists it for a few minutes... which then Armor interprets being blocked as having successfully detected a vulnerability. Is there a way to tell Armor to leave my NAS alone? I hesitate to whitelist the router on my NAS.

Re: Armor vulnerability scan triggers temporary blacklisting on my NAS
Hi mthome,
Curious to know, is Armor blocking the NAS every time there is a vulnerability scan and does it only happen on that particular NAS?
Thanks,
Christian

Re: Armor vulnerability scan triggers temporary blacklisting on my NAS
As far as I can tell, every vulnerbilty scan results in the NAS box putting the router in the doghouse for a few minutes (The NAS logs report a possible attack) and then the router reporting the fact that it was blocked as evidence of a successful DOS/overflow vulnerability. I understand and even approve of what both devices are doing, but, for instance, when my commercial ASV scanner runs against our production resources, I can tell the vendor to throttle their probes or stop making a particular attack on a specific host. Whitelisting is the wrong answer, just like I'd never tell my production servers "oh, don't worry about those DMZ hosts - they're totally never going to be owned."
