Services

Service Types

There are three types of service checks in IScorE: Standard Checks, Mass Checks, and Multi-Protocol Checks.

Multi-Protocol Checks

Multi-Protocol checks are special checks that choose which Standard Check they are going to use for a team based on a defined criteria (usually port number). For example, the “Remote Admin” check included with IScorE will use SSH to check the service if the port is 22 and RDP to check the service if the port is 3389.

Mass Checks

Mass checks are designed to check all teams at once. These are most useful when an external system is calculating the scores for a custom type of service. This is an advanced feature, and is not needed in the vast majority of situations.

   Warning

   Due to the way services are stored, the details in this form are pulled from the service definition of the first team. This means that the URL will always be the same as the URL for the first name, NOT the pattern that was entered when the service was created. If you do not wish to change the URL, do not click in the field as the rest of the teams are updated when the main URL field is changed.

5. Click the blue “Submit” button in the bottom right corner.

6. Remember, some changes will not appear on the service scanner until the next scan.

Note

If you increase the score of a check, passing checks will turn yellow (partial credit) until the next service scan.
