Hacking into Servers
Passive Reconnaissance Techniques
Setting up a Linux/Mac Backdoor
Utilizing Networking Tools
DESCRIPTION
When initiating a network attack, the initial step involves gathering information about the target. This encompasses the identification of open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities ripe for exploitation. Open ports serve as potential entry points for attackers, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of which ports are exposed and the nature of permitted traffic. Various tools are employed to acquire this critical information.
With acquired knowledge about the target, the offensive phase can commence. This course instructs participants on launching password attacks and implementing a backdoor. A password attack, specifically a brute force attack, seeks to guess passwords. Methods include dictionary attacks, utilizing a list of common words, and brute force attacks, systematically trying every possible character combination. These attacks prove particularly effective when dealing with weak or easily guessed passwords.
The establishment of a backdoor on a system allows an attacker persistent access, even in the presence of robust security measures. This can be achieved by introducing a malicious program providing remote access or modifying an existing program to grant unauthorized entry. Detecting backdoors can be challenging, underscoring the importance of vigilance when evaluating security risks.
