Foot printing – Finding your target…
We were asked to contribute an article to PenTest magazine, and chose to write up an introductory how-to on footprinting. We’ve republished it here for those interested.
Network foot printing is, perhaps, the first active step in the reconnaissance phase of an external network security engagement. This phase is often highly automated with little human interaction as the techniques appear, at first glance, to be easily applied in a general fashion across a broad range of targets. As a security analyst, footprinting is also one of the most enjoyable parts of my job as I attempt to outperform the automatons; it is all about finding that one target that everybody forgot about or did not even know they had, that one old IIS 5 webserver that is not used, but not powered off.
Cadet Training
You’ve seen the movies. You’ve seen the cooler than life characters hacking systems using obscure keyboards and operating systems that seem to float through the network, so how about now really learning how it’s done?
Hacking by Numbers, Cadet Edition is being presented at Black Hat USA this year by two super star SensePost hackers. This entry-level course will delve into the following topics:
• Understanding the hacker mind-set.
• Method based approached of understanding the penetration testing life cycle.
