## Can I limit how the Infection Monkey propagates through my network?
|
||||
|
||||
In order to limit how the Infection Monkey is able to propagate through your
|
||||
network, you can:
|
||||
Yes! To limit how the Infection Monkey propagates through your network, you can:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Adjust the scan depth
|
||||
|
||||
The scan depth limits the number of hops that the Infection Monkey agent will
|
||||
spread from patient zero. If the scan depth is set to 1, the agent will spread
|
||||
only 1 hop from patient zero. Scan depth does not limit the number of devices,
|
||||
just the number of hops.
|
||||
spread from patient zero. If you set the scan depth to one, the agent will only
|
||||
reach a single hop from the initially infected machine. Scan depth does not
|
||||
limit the number of devices, just the number of hops.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Example**: Scan depth is set to 2. _Host A_ scans the network and finds
|
||||
hosts _B, C, D_ and _E_. The Infection Monkey agent successfully propagates
|
||||
from _Host A_ to _Host C_. Since the scan depth is 2, the agent will pivot from
|
||||
_Host C_ and continue to scan other machines on the network. If _Host C_
|
||||
successfully breaches _Host E_, it will not pivot further and it will not
|
||||
continue to scan or propagate.
|
||||
- **Example**: In this example, the scan depth is set to two. _Host A_ scans the
|
||||
network and finds hosts _B, C, D_ and _E_. The Infection Monkey agent
|
||||
successfully propagates from _Host A_ to _Host C_. Since the scan depth is 2,
|
||||
the agent will pivot from _Host C_ and continue to scan other machines on the
|
||||
network. However, if _Host C_ successfully breaches _Host E_, it will not pivot
|
||||
further nor continue to scan or propagate.

#### Enable/disable scanning the local subnet
|
||||
Settings that define how the Infection Monkey will scan the network can be
|
||||
found in `Configuration -> Network`. By default each agent will scan its entire
|
||||
local subnet. This behavior can be disabled by unchecking the `Local network
|
||||
scan` button.
|
||||
#### Enable or disable scanning the local subnet
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the settings that define how the Infection Monkey will scan your
|
||||
network in `Configuration -> Network`. Each agent will scan its entire local
|
||||
subnet by default, but you can disable this behavior by unchecking the `Local
|
||||
network scan` button.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Add IPs to the IP allow list
|
||||
|
||||
The Infection Monkey agents attempt to scan any hosts that are specified in the
|
||||
`Configuration -> Network -> Scan target list` section.
|
||||
You can specify which hosts you want the Infection Monkey agents to attempt to
|
||||
scan in the `Configuration -> Network -> Scan target list` section.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Add IPs to the IP block list
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If there are any hosts on your network that you would like to prevent the
|
||||
Infection Monkey from scanning or exploiting, they can be added to list of
|
||||
Infection Monkey from scanning or exploiting, you can add them to the list of
|

"Blocked IPs" in `Configuration -> Network -> Blocked IPs`.
