Chapter 3 - Scanning & Enumeration Flashcards

1
Q

Connection-Oriented vs Connectionless Communication

A

Connectionless: UDP, Fire and forget, don’t care if recipient has bandwidth to accept message. Connection-Oriented: TCP, Error checkin and high overhead, uses TCP handshake.

Q

PSH Flag

A

Push - This flag forces the delivery of data without concerns for any buffering. In other words, the receiving device need not wait for the buffer to fill up before processing data.

A

Urgent - When this flag is set, it indicates the data inside is being sent out of band. Cancelling a message mid-stream is one example.

Q

TCP 3-way Handshake sequence numbers process

A

Sequence numbers increase on new communication. Example is computers A and B. A would increment B’s sequence number. A would never increment it’s own sequence.

Q

Active vs Passive OS Fingerprinting

A

Active: Sending crafted, nonstandard packets to the target. Passive: Sniffing network traffic for things such as TTL windows DF (Don’t Fragment) flags and ToS (Type of Service) fields

90
Q

Why is using the scan type: “ nmap -f “ useful for evading IPS

A

The -f flag is used for fragmenting packets. By cracking apart the packets before they’re sent will be unrecognizable by IDS.

91
Q

What should you be aware of before spoofing an IP address?

A

IP Spoofing can only be used when you don’t expect a response back to your machine.

92
Q

Source Routing

A

Specifies the path a packet should take on the network. Most systems do not allow this anymore.

93
Q

IP Address Decoy

A

sends packets from your IP as well as multiple other decoys to confuse the IDS/Firewall as to where the attack is really coming from. EX: nmap -D RND:10 x.x.x.x nmap -D decoyIP1….sourceIP…[target]

94
Q

Proxy (evasion)

A

For evasion, hackers can use proxy technology in reverse. By sending commands and requests to the proxy and letting the proxy relay them to the targets. So anyone monitoring the subnet sees the proxy trying all these actions, not the attacker

95
Q

Proxy Chains

A

Multiple proxies further hide your activities. Tools for this: Proxy Switcher, Proxy Workbench, SoftCab’s Proxy Chain Builder, CyberGhost, and Proxifier

96
Q

ToR

A

The Onion Routin. Tor works by installing a small client on the machine, which then gets a list of other clients running Tor from a directory server. The client then bounces internet requests off random ToR clients, making it nearly impossible to trace a request back to source.

97
Q

Anonymizers (Evasion)

A

Anonymizers hides identity on HTTP traffic (port 80)

98
Q

Anonymizer Tools

A

Guardster, Ultrasurf, Psiphon, Tails

Q

Tools for LDAP Enumeration

A

Softerra, Jxplorer, Lex, LDAP Admin Tool

126
Q
