Cyber Security Breaches and Regulations

Bob was hired by a medical company following a significant cyber security breach, exposing patient medical records online.
Violations include regulatory frameworks designed to protect personal health information: most likely HIPAA/PHI.

Footprinting and Information Gathering

Penetration testers can use advanced Google search operators for footprinting:
- Site: Restricts search to specific organizational domains.
- Related: Identifies websites similar to a target URL.
Tools for information gathering include:
- FCC ID search: Used to gather data about IoT devices and their certifications.
- Censys: An information-gathering tool for network analysis, monitoring open ports, and device exploitation.

Hackers enhance phishing attempts by mimicking internal emails of targeted companies, leveraging familiar branding and high-profile names.
The preparatory phase to gather information on a company for phishing is known as Reconnaissance.

Image Verification Techniques

A Reverse Image Search assists researchers in tracking the original sources of images for authenticity verification.

Ethical Hacking and Frameworks

James employs an OSINT framework, utilizing open-source tools for automated reconnaissance and footprinting activities.

SMTP Enumeration Insights

Successful SMTP enumeration can unveil:
- Valid user confirmations through internal commands like VRFY and EXPN.
- A list of mail proxy server addresses and user aliases.

NetBIOS Enumeration

During a NetBIOS enumeration, port 139 may reveal resources accessible on a remote system.
Specific NetBIOS codes are used for operations, such as identifying the messenger service for the logged-in user.

Web Server Interaction

Running the command wget 192.168.0.15 -q -S typically aims to:
- Perform content enumeration on the web server to discover hidden files and directories.
