Study Notes
Information Gathering in Ethical Hacking
- Reconnaissance is the phase where ethical hackers gather information about the target user or system.
- It involves tools and techniques such as Hping, NMAP, and Google Dorks.
Types of Reconnaissance
- There are two subtypes of reconnaissance: Active and Passive Reconnaissance.
- Active Reconnaissance involves interacting with the target user or system directly to gain information.
- Examples of Active Reconnaissance include telephone calls as a help desk or fake customer care person.
- Passive Reconnaissance involves gathering information indirectly without interacting with the target user or system.
- Examples of Passive Reconnaissance include searching public records, searching online people databases, or looking for target details in paper files.
Scanning Methodologies
- Scanning is a phase that comes after reconnaissance and involves using tools to identify vulnerabilities in a system.
- Scanning methodologies include Vulnerability Scanning, Sweeping, and Port Scanning.
- Google Dorks is not a scanning tool, but rather a reconnaissance tool used for gathering information about a target user.
Ethical Hacking Phases
- The phases of ethical hacking are: Reconnaissance, Scanning, Gaining Access, and Maintaining Access.
- Gaining access is the phase where ethical hackers exploit vulnerabilities in a system or network.
- Maintaining access is the phase where access is maintained to ensure continued control over the system or network.
Forensic Science and Digital Investigations
- Forensic science is the application of science to investigation and prosecution of crime or to the just resolution of conflict.
- Digital investigations can involve principles of forensic science.
- Preservation of digital evidence involves collecting computer hardware, making a forensic image of storage media, and copying necessary files.
- Examination of digital evidence includes activities such as seizure, preservation, and documentation, as well as recovery, harvesting, and reduction.
- Analysis of digital evidence includes activities such as experimentation, fusion, and correlation.
Digital Evidence Analysis
- Analysis of digital evidence involves relating evidence to its source using IP addresses, MD5 values, filenames, and date-time stamps.
- Different types of analysis include relational (e.g., link analysis) and temporal (e.g., timeline analysis).
- When investigating a website, it is necessary to determine the location of the web servers before obtaining authorization to seize the systems.
