2 . PERFORM AN EXPERIMENT TO GRAB A BANNER WITH TELNET AND

PERFORM THE TASK USING NETCAT UTILITY.
Banner Grabbing is a technique to determine which application or service is running on the
specified port by attempting to make a connection to this host.

Banner Grabbing can be performed in two ways.

1. ONLINE (Thru Internet connection by connecting to remote websites)
2. OFFLINE (Thru Local LAN or with Virtual Box Guest OS)

1. First Enable the TELNET service on your computer by typing the command given;
Type the command SERVICES.MSC in run command menu, Click on Telnet service and
enable the service, select it automatic and Click Start.
2. Open Command prompt and type the following ;
telnet www.rediff.com 80 (http port) and press enter key twice.
3. Now you can see the rediff website web server’s information.
4. You can also try it on your local machine connecting to your Guest OS like telnet
Guest IP address(example: 192.168.56.101) 80 and press enter twice.
5. The same Banner grabbing can also perform by the NETCAT utility available at
http://netcat.sourceforge.net the compressed file.
6. Extract on your local drive and perform the following in the command prompt;
Netcat www.rediff.com 80 (http port) and press enter twice to see the result.
7. Use the same procedure on Guest Operating System like
But before using netcat command please install the IIS (Internet
Information Server) from Add/Remove components on your Guest OS, then
apply this; Netcat –vv –n guest ip address(example: 192.168.56.101) 80 and
press enter twice to see the result.
-vv=verbose mode , -n=numerical IP address only.

3. PERFORM AN EXPERIMENT FOR PORT SCANNING WITH NMAP, SUPERSCAN

OR ANY OTHER SOFTWARE.
Port Scanning is the process of connecting to TCP and UDP port for the purpose of
finding which services and applications are open on the Target Machine.
TCP establishes a connection by using what is called a Three way handshake. The TCP
header contains one byte field for the flags. These flags include the following;
→
ACK The receiver will send an Ack to acknowledge data.
→ →
SYN Setup to begin communication on initial sequence number. FIN Inform
→
the other host that the sender has no more data to send. RST Abort operation.
→ →
PSH Force data delivery without waiting for buffers to fill. URG
Indicate priority data.
The port numbers are unique only within a computer system. Port numbers are 16-bit unsigned
numbers. The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports (0-1023), the
Registered Ports (1024-49151), and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports (49152-65535).
All the operating systems now honor the tradition of permitting only the super-user open the
ports numbered 0 to 1023. Some are listed below:
echo 7/tcp Echo
ftp-data 20/udp File Transfer [Default Data]
ftp 21/tcp File Transfer [Control]
ssh 22/tcp SSH Remote Login Protocol
telnet 23/tcp Telnet
domain 53/udp Domain Name Server
www-http 80/tcp World Wide Web HTTP
Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source utility for network exploration or security
auditing. The FIVE port states recognized by Nmap such as:
1. Closed 2. Filtered 3. UnFiltered 4. Open-Filtered 5. Closed-Filter Download Super
Scan 3.0 tool from the WebSite and Execute the following:

5. PERFORM AN EXPERIMENT ON ACTIVE AND PASSIVE

FINGER PRINTING USING XPROBE2 AND NMAP.

Fingerprinting is a process in scanning phase in which an attacker tries to identify

Operating System of target Machine. Fingerprinting can be classified into two types
Active and Passive
Fingerprinting Active Stack
Fingerprinting
It involves sending data to the target system and then see how it responds. Based on the fact
that teach system will respond differently, the response is compared with database and the
OS is identified. It is commonly used method though there are high chances of getting
detected. It can be performed by following ways.

Using Nmap : Nmap is a port scanning tool that can be used for active stack OS fingerprinting.
Syntax: nmap -O IP_address
Example: nmap –O 192.168.56.101

Using Xprobe2: This UNIX tool for active fingerprinting.

Syntax: xprobe2 -v IP_address
Example: xprobe -v 192.168.56.101

Passive Fingerprinting involves examining traffic on network to determine the operating system.
There is no guarantee that the fingerprint will be accurate but usually they are accurate. It
generally means sniffing traffic rather than making actual contact and thus this method is
stealthier and usually goes undetected.

6. PERFORMA AN EXPERIMENT TO DEMONSTRATE HOW TO SNIFF FOR

ROUTER TRAFFIC BY USING THE TOOL WIRESHARK.
A packet sniffer, sometimes referred to as a network monitor or network analyzer, can be used by
a network or system administrator to monitor and troubleshoot network traffic. Using the
information captured by the packet sniffer an administrator can identify erroneous packets and use
the data to pinpoint bottlenecks and help maintain efficient network data transmission.
In its simple form a packet sniffer simply captures all of the packets of data that pass through
a given network interface. By placing a packet sniffer on a network in promiscuous mode, a
Malicious intruder can capture and analyze all of the network traffic.

Wireshark is a network packet analyzer. A network packet analyzer will try to capture
network packets and tries to display that packet data as detailed as possible.
Download and install wireshark network analyzer.
Steps to capture traffic:

1. Open Wireshark network analyzer.

2. Select interface: Goto capture option in menu bar and select interface
