Nmap

Nmap Tutorial to find Network Vulnerabilities

nmap -sS -D 10.1.0.1

-D = decoy  and specifying a dummy ip-address 

Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE)

to check vulnerabilities 

sudo nmap --script vuln 

*********************************

dig www.google.com  = gives the IP address 

-Pn  No Host discovery  = Nmap skips the host searching process & performs full target scan 

-PS means TCP SYN request

-PA means TCP ACK request

-PU means UDP request 

-PE means ICMP echo request 

-PR means ARP request

TCP Scan Types 

-sS    TCP SYN scan ( half open scan / stealthy  scan)

-sT = TCP  connect scan (full open scan)

-sN = TCP  NULL scan

-sF = TCP  FIN scan

-sX = TCP  Xmas scan

-sA = TCP  ACK scan

-sW = TCP window scan

-sM  = TCP maimon scan

-F  flag  does a fast scan 

e.g. nmap  -F 192.168.1.1

Timing template 

-T5  insane 

-T4  aggressive

-T3  Normal

-T2  polite

-T1 sneaky

-T0 paranoid 

-sV  = Service version detection

sudo nmap -sV -O -F 10.0.2.4 

E.g. = nmap -T4 -F 192.168.1.*

-A option provide details and inbuilt script of nmap scan

sudo nmap -A -T4 192.168.1.*

nmap saving output files

-oN = Human readable text file

-oX = Machine readable file

-oG = Grepable text file

-v  = allows to see progress by nmap 

DNS spoofing: 

windows powershell : ipconfig /displaydns
