Testing IPMI / BMC out-of-band management interfaces (default 623/UDP, sometimes TCP) for the cipher-zero authentication bypass, RAKP password-hash retrieval, anonymous/default BMC credentials, cleartext password storage, and host takeover via KVM/SOL during authorized engagements.

# Pentesting IPMI (port 623)
## When to Use
- Default port `623/udp` (sometimes `623/tcp`) on Baseboard Management Controllers (BMC) — Supermicro, Dell iDRAC, HP iLO, IBM IMM, Fujitsu iRMC, Oracle/Sun ILOM, ASUS iKVM.
- When `nmap`/scanners show `asf-rmcp`/`ipmi` on 623, or you find an out-of-band management LAN.
- BMCs run independent of the host OS/power state, so compromise = persistent, OS-independent control of the server (power, KVM, serial-over-LAN, virtual media).
## Quick Enumeration
```bash
# Find the port (UDP is primary)
nmap -n -p 623 10.0.0.0/24
nmap -n -sU -p 623 10.0.0.0/24
# Version identification
