Introduction to hostscan_4.10.00093-k9.pkg Software
The hostscan_4.10.00093-k9.pkg is a critical component of Cisco’s Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) ecosystem, designed to enhance endpoint compliance validation for secure network access. This Host Scan module integrates with Cisco Secure Firewall solutions to perform deep inspection of client devices attempting to connect through VPN or AnyConnect sessions.
As part of Cisco’s Security Suite, this package enables automated detection of security parameters including:
- Antivirus/antimalware status
- Operating system patch levels
- Firewall configuration compliance
- Registry key verification
Compatible with ASA 5500-X Series firewalls and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) platforms running ASA version 9.12(4) or later, this release aligns with Cisco’s Q3 2024 security updates cycle. System administrators should note this version specifically addresses TLS 1.3 compatibility issues identified in previous iterations.
Key Features and Improvements
Security Enhancements:
- SHA-3 algorithm support for certificate validation (FIPS 140-3 compliance)
- Expanded OS support for Windows 11 24H2 and RHEL 9.3
- Memory leak mitigation in continuous scan operations (CSCwd12345)
Performance Optimizations:
- 40% reduction in scan latency for encrypted drives
- Parallel processing for multi-factor compliance checks
- Resource utilization capped at 15MB RAM during peak operations
Protocol Updates:
- OpenSSL 3.0.12 integration
- IPsec IKEv2 fragmentation handling improvements
- Extended validation for QUIC protocol implementations
