How does Corner Bowl do it?

Depending on your requirements, Corner Bowl utilizes several different technologies to scan managed hosts:

  • You can optionally use our Windows client-side Agent to bypass Windows Security and instead use our proprietary FIPS compliant TLS 1.2 application layer protocols to scan and manage machines faster and more reliably than native technologies such as remote WMI. When utilized, our software does not require administrator log on as access credentials nor are logon events generated on domain controllers minimizing our software's footprint on your network.
  • Otherwise, Windows servers are managed using a combination of remote WMI and Windows Shares (SMB).
  • Linux servers are managed using a combination of SSH Shell, SFTP/SSH, FTP/S and SMB (Windows Shares).
