Description
Nmap author Fyodor and Nmap training guru James Messer demonstrate advanced network reconnaissance with Nmap.
PREREQUISITE WARNING Each class has prerequisites for software loads and a laptop is mandatory. These individual class guides will list material the students are expected have knowledge about coming in and software tools that need to be pre-installed before attending so you get the maximum benefit from the focused intermediate or advanced level course. Please pay particular attention to the prerequisites, as the material listed there will not be reviewed in the courses, and will be necessary to get the maximum benefit out of these educational programs.
Attendees receive a zero-day (pre-release) copy of Fyodor's upcoming book, Nmap Network Scanning. Topics include:
- Speed optimization for scanning large or heavily firewalled networks
- Analyzing and circumventing firewalls
- Subverting intrusion detection systems
- Port scanning techniques and algorithms
- Automating daily scans
- Host Discovery
- Version detection
- Defending your network against Nmap
- The 2nd Generation OS fingerprinting system
- The new Nmap Scripting Engine
Rather than simply re-hash man pages and define each option flag, Fyodo and James show how practical problems are solved by combining several techniques with careful analysis. Complementary open source tools such as Hping2 and Netcat are also demonstrated. Real-life examples are given for the class to work through.
Prerequisites
Attendees must arrive with Nmap version 4.21ALPHA3 or later installed on their network-equipped laptop computers.
They should already be familiar with Nmap and its basic options.
A good test is to run the command:
nmap -A -T4 -PT53,80,113 scanme.nmap.orgto ensure that it works and that the output and command-line itself are well understood. Be sure to read the Nmap Reference Guide before coming.
