KALI LINUX NETWORK SCANNING COOKBOOK

Chapter 2. Discovery Scanning

Discovery scanning is the process of identifying live hosts on a network. In the context of penetration testing, this is usually performed to identify potential targets for attack. The objective here is not to exhaust resources in gathering information about targets, but instead, to merely find out where the targets are logically located. The final product of our discovery should be a list of IP addresses that we can then use for further analysis. In this chapter, we will discuss how to discover hosts on a network by using protocols operating at layer 2, layer 3, and layer 4 of the OSI model. This chapter will include each of the following recipes:

Using Scapy to perform layer 2 discovery
Using ARPing to perform layer 2 discovery
Using Nmap to perform layer 2 discovery
Using NetDiscover to perform layer 2 discovery
Using Metasploit to perform layer 2 discovery
Using ICMP ping to perform layer 3 discovery
Using Scapy to perform layer 3 discovery
Using Nmap...

I really enjoyed this book, and am looking forward to going back through it and practicing with the labs that were very aptly explained in the book. I've read a lot of IT books, and especially a lot of books on IT security. Most of these books are a disappointment because they either lack the CLI examples and explanations, or do not explain the context behind what you are doing AND why certain techniques either succeed or fail. This book covers both of these common issues, and does so quite well. If I wasn't already impressed enough with the author's ability to flow back and forth between high level general concepts (like the difference between Layer 2 and Layer 3 scanning) and very technical command line walk-thrus, he also went over a myriad of DIFFERENT tools. I liked how we weren't just told, "this is the best scanning tool that uses ARP and here is how you use it", the author actually went over several different tools and gave us exposure to what is out there, not just what the author prefers. This book really set the bar for me and I am very much looking forward to the author's next project.
