Kali Linux Intrusion and Exploitation Cookbook

Chapter 2. Network Information Gathering

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Discovering live servers over the network
  • Bypassing IDS/IPS/firewall
  • Discovering ports over the network
  • Using unicornscan for faster port scanning
  • Service fingerprinting
  • Determining the OS using nmap and xprobe2
  • Service enumeration
  • Open-source information gathering

Introduction

In this chapter, we will look at how to detect live servers and network devices over the network, and perform service fingerprinting and enumeration for information gathering. Gathering information is of the utmost importance for a successful vulnerability assessment and penetration test. Moving forward, we will run scanners to find vulnerabilities in the detected services. Along with that, we will write bash scripts so that we can speed up the process of discovery-enumerate-scan.

Discovering live servers over the network

In this recipe, we learn how to perform the  of live network devices/machines over the network, using two methods: Passive information gathering and active information gathering.

We will examine the network traffic of our as a part of our passive information gathering, followed by information gathering, in which we will send packets over the network to detect active machines and services running on them.

Getting ready

In order to begin with this recipe, will be using a simple ARP sniffing/scanning tool called netdiscover. It is a net-discovery tool which can be used for active/passive ARP reconnaissance.

How to do it...

Let's start with passive reconnaissance:

  1. To start netdiscover, ensure that you are connected via Wi-Fi with a valid IP address. Open the terminal and enter the following command for passive reconnaissance:
netdiscover - p

The output will be as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. To perform an active scan over the network to discover...

Bypassing IDS/IPS/firewall

In this recipe, we will at a few the switches by nmap that can be used to bypass IDS/IPS/firewalls. Many a time, when we are performing a scan, we come across a firewall. In case the firewall is not configured correctly, we will be able to execute the following firewall-evasion commands of nmap.

Getting ready

We will nmap for this activity. Let's with the we have detected to run a few evasion switches.

How to do it...

For this recipe, we will perform the following steps:

  1. We will use the fragment packet switch to perform the discovery:

Fragment packet switch splits up the TCP header over several packets to make it harder for packet filters, intrusion detection systems, and other annoyances to detect an ongoing active scan. There could be occurrences where this could fail as some programs might not be able to handle tiny packets. For a more detailed understanding visit https://nmap.org/book/man-bypass-firewalls-ids.html.

We will enter the following command:

nmap...

Discovering ports over the network

In this recipe, we will use the list of active IPs we and saved in the file to perform information gathering, the purpose will be to scan them for open ports on those IPs. We will be using nmap and its features to discover open ports.

Getting ready

We will use the nmap tool to detect open ports on the IP. Let's start with the process of detecting the open ports over a specific IP.

How to do it...

For this recipe, you will to perform the steps:

  1. We will run nmap by typing the following command in terminal:
nmap <ip address>

The output will be as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. We can even check what the tool is doing by using the verbose switch, by entering the following command in Terminal:
nmap -v <IP address>

The will be as shown in the screenshot:

  1. By default, it scans only 1,000 well-known sets of ports. If we are interested in setting the scan preference to the top 100 ports, we can run the following command in terminal:
nmap --top...

Using unicornscan for faster port scanning

Unicornscan is another that works very fast, the core reason being the methodology the tool implements. It works with the technique of asynchronous stateless TCP scanning, wherein it makes all possible variations with the TCP flags and the UDP as well. In this recipe, we are going to look at how to make use of unicornscan and its advanced capabilities.

Getting ready

In order to get with unicornscan, we will take an IP from our range of IPs and dig deeper into the tool's capabilities.

How to do it...

Let's work through the following steps:

  1. Open terminal and type the following command for a simple unicornscan:
unicornscan <IP address>

The output will be as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. If you would like to see the details of what it is doing while we execute the command, we can make use of the verbose script by using the following command:
unicornscan -v <IP address>

The will be as shown in the following screenshot:

We can see that...

Service fingerprinting

In this recipe, we will look at how to analyze the open port to determine what kind of service(s) are running on the open port(s). This will help us understand if the target IP is running any vulnerable software. That is why fingerprinting is a necessary and a very important step.

Getting ready

We will use nmap to fingerprint the services of the target IP. Nmap is a multi-functional tool that performs jobs ranging from host discovery to vulnerability assessment; service fingerprinting is also a part of it.

How to do it...

The steps are as follows:

  1. Using nmap, run the following command in terminal to achieve the service enumeration result:
nmap -sV <IP address>

The will be as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. We can even enumerate the UDP services running on the target IP, by using the UDP scan switch along with the service-detection switch:
Nmap -sU -sV <IP address>

The output will be as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. We can speed up the scan using...

Determining the OS using nmap and xprobe2

In this recipe, we will be using tools to what kind of system the target IP is running on. Mapping a target IP with a operating system is necessary to help shortlist and verify vulnerabilities.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will use the tool to determine the operating system. All we require is an IP address against which we will run the OS enumeration scan. Others tools that can be used are hping and xprobe2.

How to do it...

Let begin by the system:

  1. Open and type the following:
nmap -O <IP address>

The output will be as shown in the following screenshot:

We can use advanced operators to help us find out the operating system in a more aggressive manner. Type the following command in terminal:

nmap O --osscan-guess <IP address>

The will as in the screenshot:

This shows that using additional parameters of the operating system detection in nmap, we can get a probable idea of the best fit.

  1. Xprobe2 uses a different to nmap...

Service enumeration

Once the services have been fingerprinted, we can enumeration. There can be many different sources used to achieve the goal of this recipe. In this recipe, we will look at how to service-discovery scans using various tools, for the following:

  • SMB scan
  • SNMP scan
  • Using the NSE (nmap scripting engine) engine

Nbtscan is a in Kali that enumerates for the NetBIOS name of the target IP. It can be used as the early part of SMB enumeration. It basically requests a status query of the NetBIOS name in a human-readable format.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will be using tools to enumerate all the mentioned above.

How to do it...

For this recipe, the steps are as follows:

  1. To enumerate the NetBIOS name, we will run the following command in terminal:
nbtscan <IP address>

The output will be as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. You can run the NetBIOS enumeration over a class range as well, using the following command in terminal:
nbtscan -r <IP address>/<class range...

Open-source information gathering

In this recipe, we will look at how to make of tools meant for online information gathering. We will cover tools that serve the purpose of gathering information with respect to Whois, domain tools, and MX mail servers. Shodan is a powerful search engine that locates drives for us over the Internet. With the help of various filters, we can find information about our targets. Among hackers, it is also called the world's most dangerous search engine.

Getting ready

We will make use of tools such as DNsenum for the purpose of Whois enumeration, find out all the IP addresses involved in a domain, and also how Shodan provides us with open-port information of the target searched.

How to do it...

The steps are as follows:

  1. For DNS scan, we will a tool called DNsenum. Let us start by typing the following in terminal:
dnsenum <domainname>

The output will be as shown in the following screenshot:

  1. We can also use the available to search for more subdomains via...

A very useful tour of Kali's tools with lab based learning.The author took the time to upload everything you'll need to set up an internal lab, using tools such as Docker, etc to create an attack and vulnerable labs. Learning via reading is only 1/3 of the battle. Everything else, is real world experience, using those tools. You can read about climbing Everest, without stepping foot on any mountain. You can read about using Kali, without ever using it. Neither will give you real world experience until you start doing it.
