Study Notes
Host Discovery Techniques
- ARP Ping Scan - Sends ARP requests to find active devices on a network.
- UDP Ping Scan - Sends UDP packets to identify active hosts.
- ICMP Echo Ping Scan - Sends ICMP Echo requests to check for active systems.
- ICMP Echo Ping Sweep - Used to find active hosts on a network by sending ICMP Echo requests to multiple hosts.
- ICMP Timestamp Ping Scan - Sends ICMP Timestamp requests (useful when ICMP Echo is blocked).
- ICMP Address Mask Ping Scan - Sends ICMP Address Mask requests (effective when ICMP Echo is blocked).
- TCP SYN Ping Scan - Initiates TCP connection handshake (without establishing actual TCP connections).
- TCP ACK Ping Scan - Sends TCP ACK requests - This can bypass firewalls that block SYN scans.
SSDP and List Scan
- SSDP Scan - Uses Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) to discover Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices on a network.
- List Scan - Creates a list of IP addresses and hostnames without actively scanning or pinging them.
OS Discovery/Banner Grabbing
- Active Banner Grabbing - Uses crafted packets to analyze responses from a target system based on OS characteristics.
- Passive Banner Grabbing - Gathers information from network traffic and error messages without interacting with a target system.
Other Techniques
- MAC Address Spoofing - Changes a device's MAC address to impersonate a legitimate user on a network.
- Randomizing Host Order - Scans network hosts in a random order to avoid detection.
- Sending Bad Checksums - Sends packets with incorrect checksums.
