Defence detection

• Check to see if a target is using a load balancing solution with the lbd (load balancing detector) command.

• To determine if the target is behind a web application firewall (WAF), use the wafw00f command.

• It may be needed to encode some attack tools to try to trick antivirus software into not seeing the code as being harmful.

• To detect what ports a firewall is forwarding on to a target, use the firewalk command. Is also available for nmap as firewalk.nse script.
