Study Notes
Network Scanning
- Network scanning involves identifying hosts, ports, and services in a network to gather information about the target organization.
- Objectives of network scanning include:
- Identifying live hosts, IP addresses, and open ports of live hosts.
- Discovering services running on hosts.
- Discovering vulnerabilities in live hosts.
Scanning Techniques
- Ping scan: involves sending ICMP ECHO requests to a host to determine if it is live and if ICMP is passing through a firewall.
- Ping scan output can be obtained using tools like Nmap.
Tools for Ping Scanning
- Colasoft Ping Tool: a network scanning tool for Windows.
- Advanced IP Scanner: a free tool for scanning IP addresses and ports.
- Visual Ping Tester - Standard: a tool for testing ping responses.
- Ping Sweep: a tool for pinging a range of IP addresses.
- Ping Scanner Pro: a tool for scanning IP addresses and ports.
- OpUtils: a network management tool with ping scanning capabilities.
- Ping Monitor: a tool for monitoring ping responses.
- Ping Info View: a tool for viewing ping responses.
- Pinkie: a tool for pinging IP addresses.
Overview of Network Scanning Process
- Sends packets to the network to gather information.
- Gets network information about hosts, ports, and services.
Check for Live Systems and Open Ports
- Checking for live systems involves scanning for hosts that respond to ICMP ECHO requests.
- Checking for open ports involves scanning for ports that respond to connection attempts.
Scanning Beyond IDS and Banner Grabbing
- Scanning beyond IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems) involves evading detection by IDS.
- Banner grabbing involves collecting information about services running on hosts.
Scan for Vulnerability and Draw Network Diagrams
- Scanning for vulnerabilities involves identifying weaknesses in hosts and services.
- Drawing network diagrams involves creating visual representations of the network infrastructure.
Prepare Proxies and Scanning Pen Testing
- Preparing proxies involves setting up anonymizers for attack.
- Scanning pen testing involves simulating attacks on the network to test defenses.
