Task 2: Perform Port and Service Discovery using NetScanTools Pro


follow below steps for this type of scanning

NetScanTools Pro is an integrated collection of utilities that gathers information on the Internet and troubleshoots 
networks for Network Professionals. With the available tools, you can research IPv4/IPv6 addresses, hostnames, domain
 names, e-mail addresses, and URLs on the target network.''





NetScanTools Pro is an integrated collection of utilities that gathers information on the Internet and troubleshoots networks for Network Professionals. With the available tools, you can research IPv4/IPv6 addresses, hostnames, domain names, e-mail addresses, and URLs on the target network.

Here, we will use the NetScanTools Pro tool to discover open ports and services running on the target range of IP addresses.

  1. In the Windows 10 machine, navigate to the Desktop and double-click NetScanTools Pro Demo shortcut.

  5. In the left-hand pane, under the Manual Tools (all) section, scroll down and click the Ping Scanner option, as shown in the screenshot.

  6. A dialog box opens explaining the Ping Scanner tool; click OK.

    Screenshot

  7. Ensure that Use Default System DNS is selected. Enter the range of IP addresses into the Start IP and End IP fields (here, 10.10.10.5 - 10.10.10.20); then, click Start.

    Screenshot

  8. A Ping Scanner notice pop-up appears; click I Accept.

  9. After the completion of the scan, a scan result appears in the web browser (here, Google Chrome).

    Screenshot

  10. Close the browser and switch to the NetScanTools Pro window.

  11. Now, click the Port Scanner option from the left-hand pane under the Manual Tools (all) section.

    If a dialog box appears explaining the Port Scanner tool, click OK.

  12. In the Target Hostname or IP Address field, enter the IP address of the target (here, 10.10.10.16). Ensure that TCP Full Connect is selected, and then click the Scan Range of Ports button.

    Screenshot

  13. A Port Scanner notice pop-up appears; click I Accept.

  14. A result appears displaying the active ports and their descriptions, as shown in the screenshot.

    By performing the above scans, you will be able to obtain a list of active machines in the network, their respective IP addresses and hostnames, and a list of all the open ports and services that will allow you to choose a target host in order to enter into its network and perform malicious activities such as ARP poisoning, sniffing, etc.

    Screenshot

  15. This concludes the demonstration of discovering open ports and services running on the target IP address using NetScanTools Pro.

  16. Close all open windows and document all the acquired information.

Lab 1: Perform S3 Bucket Enumeration using Various S3 Bucket Enumeration Tools

Image
Lab 1: Perform S3 Bucket Enumeration using Various S3 Bucket Enumeration Tools Lab Scenario As an ethical hacker, you must try to obtain as much information as possible about the target cloud environment using various enumeration tools. This lab will demonstrate various S3 bucket enumeration tools that can help you in extracting the list of publicly available S3 buckets. Lab Objectives Enumerate S3 buckets using lazys3 Enumerate S3 buckets using S3Scanner Overview of Enumeration Tools Enumeration tools are used to collect detailed information about target systems to exploit them. Information collected by S3 enumeration tools consists of a list of misconfigured S3 buckets that are available publicly. Attackers can exploit these buckets to gain unauthorized access to them. Moreover, they can modify, delete, and exfiltrate the bucket content. Task 1: Enumerate S3 Buckets using lazys3 lazys3 is a Ruby script tool that is used to brute-force AWS S3 buckets using different permutations. This...

  Task 2: Perform OS Discovery using Nmap Script Engine (NSE) Module 03: Scanning Networks Lab 3: Perform OS Discovery Task 2: Perform OS Discovery using Nmap Script Engine (NSE) open zenmap nmap -A [Target IP Address]   = -A: to perform an aggressive scan. nmap -O [Target IP Address]   = -O: performs the OS discovery. nmap --script smb-os-discovery.nse [Target IP Address]   = --script: specifies the customized script and smb-os-discovery.nse: attempts to determine the OS, computer name, domain, workgroup, and current time over the SMB protocol (ports 445 or 139). end Nmap, along with Nmap Script Engine (NSE), can extract considerable valuable information from the target system. In addition to Nmap commands, NSE provides scripts that reveal all sorts of useful information from the target system. Using NSE, you may obtain information such as OS, computer name, domain name, forest name, NetBIOS computer name, NetBIOS domain name, workgroup, system time o...
