Host must deactivate SLP

MittelStufe 1Automatisiertvmware

Beschreibung

The Service Location Protocol (SLP) is used for the discovery and selection of network services in local area networks, which simplifies configuration by allowing computers to find necessary services automatically. The practice of deactivating SLP when not in use aligns with the principle of minimizing the attack surface by shutting down non-essential services. The audit runs /etc/init.d/slpd status and requires "not running". Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.
