By: Jason Beltrame

Overview of this book

Penetration Testing Bootcamp delivers practical, learning modules in manageable chunks. Each chapter is delivered in a day, and each day builds your competency in Penetration Testing. This book will begin by taking you through the basics and show you how to set up and maintain the C&C Server. You will also understand how to scan for vulnerabilities and Metasploit, learn how to setup connectivity to a C&C server and maintain that connectivity for your intelligence gathering as well as offsite processing. Using TCPDump filters, you will gain understanding of the sniffing and spoofing traffic. This book will also teach you the importance of clearing up the tracks you leave behind after the penetration test and will show you how to build a report from all the data obtained from the penetration test. In totality, this book will equip you with instructions through rigorous tasks, practical callouts, and assignments to reinforce your understanding of penetration testing.

Firewall reconnaissance with Firewalk

Firewalk is an active reconnaissance network scanner that will help determine what Layer 4 protocols our router or firewall will pass or deny. This is a great tool for finding a way through an environment by leveraging a bad or missing ACL within one of your network devices. Firewalk leverages ICMP error messages and TTL expirations to let us know whether a port is open or not, very similar to traceroute. If a port is opened or allowed, the packet destined for that port will typically be silently dropped by the security device. But, if the port is closed, the TTL of the packet will expire at the next hop and issue an ICMP_TIME_EXCEEDED error message.

Firewalk is a two-phase command. The first phase is called the hop ramping phase. Its sole job is to find the correct hop count to the target gateway so that is has the right TTL (hop count +...
