The author is not responsible for any abuse of this information. It

is intended for educational use
only. You may be quite shocked at how vulnerable you are! As an
afterthought I added a section
on database access due to a number of requests.
The majority of successful attacks on computer systems via the
Internet can be traced to
exploitation of security flaws in software and operating systems.
These few software
vulnerabilities account for the majority of successful attacks, simply
because attackers are
opportunistic – taking the easiest and most convenient route. They
exploit the best-known flaws
with the most effective and widely available attack tools. Most
software, including operating
systems and applications, comes with installation scripts or
installation programs. The goal of
these installation programs is to get the systems installed as
quickly as possible, with the most
useful functions enabled, with the least amount of work being
performed by the administrator. To
accomplish this goal, the scripts typically install more components
than most users need. The
vendor philosophy is that it is better to enable functions that are
not needed, than to make the user
install additional functions when they are needed. This approach,
although convenient for the

user, creates many of the most dangerous security vulnerabilities

because users do not actively
maintain and patch software components they don’t use.
Furthermore, many users fail to realize
what is actually installed, leaving dangerous samples on a system
simply because users do not
know they are there. Those unpatched services provide paths for
attackers to take over computers.
For operating systems, default installations nearly always include
extraneous services and
corresponding open ports. Attackers break into systems via these
ports. In most cases the fewer
ports you have open, the fewer avenues an attacker can use to
compromise your network. For
applications, default installations usually include unneeded sample
programs or scripts. One of
the most serious vulnerabilities with web servers is sample scripts;
attackers use these scripts to
compromise the system or gain information about it. In most
cases, the system administrator
whose system is compromised did not realize that the sample
scripts were installed. Sample
scripts are a problem because they usually do not go through the
same quality control process as
other software. In fact they are shockingly poorly written in many
cases. Error checking is often
forgotten and the sample scripts offer a fertile ground for buffer
overflow attacks.
The simplest means to gain access to a system is by simple file
and printer sharing. This is used to

allow others on say, a home local area network share files,

printers, and internet connections. If
the computer having file and printer sharing enabled, this in fact
allows these resources to be
shared, and on offer, to the entire internet! This is largely due to
the fact that Netbios was
originally intended for use on local area networks (LAN’s), where
trusted sharing of resources
made sense for many reasons. It was never intended to ‘go
global’.
First, search using a Netbios scanner, for a system with sharing
enabled. A program such as
Netbrute, by Raw Logic Software, is ideal. These programs can
help the would-be hacker, as well
as the network administrator. Run the scan over a subnet at a
time, for example an IP address
range from 80.1.1.1 to 80.1.1.254. Choose a system which has,
preferably, it’s whole hard disk
Introduction

shared (You’d be amazed at some peoples stupidity!!!), this shows up
as a result such as
\\80.5.7.2\C or similar. Simply copy & paste this link into the address
bar of Windows Explorer, and hit enter! This is a screenshot of
Netbrute in operation: For more comprehensive information, use a
utility such as Languard Network Scanner. This returns a wealth of
information such as domain names, login names, and more. Here is
a shot of this in use:

Need I say more? If you find a system where the root directory of C:
is shared, then on Windows 9.X systems, you’ll be able to access the
whole of the hard drive. On Windows NT/2000 systems, you will
have only access as according to NTFS file access permissions. Here
is a screenshot of Windows Explorer pointed at the root directory:
3
You can even map it to a network drive (use tools > map network
drive), it’s as easy as that!
For best results, I recommend choosing systems with ‘better than
modem’ connections. If you don’t know where to start, try your own
IP address. To get this, do the following:
•
For Windows 9.X, go to start > Run and type ‘Winipcfg’ to get your
IP address.
•
For Windows NT/2000, got to start > programs > accessories >
commend prompt, and type ‘ipconfig’.
This will return your IP address. If you are using a dialup
connection, you will need to connect first. For ‘always on’ cable
connection, omit this step. Then run your scan over the subnet; e.g.
if your IP address is 164.99.34.212 then try a scan from 164.99.34.1
to 164.99.34.254. This should be enough to get you started. Have
fun…

IP Scanning
This simple scan simply pings a range of IP addresses to find which
machines are alive. Note that more sophisticated scanners will use
other protocols (such as an SNMP sweep) to do the same thing.
This is a very simple technique which requires little explanation. It is
however, useful for the domain name to be returned also.

Port Scanning

This section introduces many of the techniques used to determine

what ports (or similar protocol abstraction) of a host are listening for
connections. These ports represent potential communication channels.
Mapping their existence facilitates the exchange of information with
the host, and thus it is quite useful for anyone wishing to explore
their networked environment, including hackers. Despite what you
have heard from the media, the Internet is NOT exclusively reliant on
TCP port 80, used by hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). Anyone who
relies exclusively on the WWW for information gathering is likely to
gain the same level of proficiency as your average casual surfer. This
section is also meant to serve as an introduction to the art of port
scanning, in which a host system can be persuaded to yield up it’s
secrets. To accomplish this, you need to obtain a port scanner. There
are many available both for free or for a small fee.
It should have all these features:
•
dynamic delay time calculations: Some scanners require that you
supply a delay time between sending packets. Well how should I
know what to use? You can always ping them, but that is a pain,
and plus the response time of many hosts changes dramatically
when they are being flooded with requests. For root users, the
primary technique for finding an initial delay is to time the internal
“ping” function. For non-root users, it times an attempted connect()
to a closed port on the target. It can also pick a reasonable default
value. Again, people who want to specify a delay themselves can do
so with -w (wait), but you shouldn’t have to.
•
Retransmission: Some scanners just send out all the query packets,
and collect the responses. But this can lead to false positives or
negatives in the case where packets are dropped.
This is especially important for “negative” style scans like UDP and
FIN, where what you are looking for is a port that does NOT
respond.
•

Parallel port scanning: Some scanners simply scan ports linearly, one
at a time, until they do all 65535. This actually works for TCP on a
very fast local network, but the speed of this is not 5
at all acceptable on a wide area network like the Internet. It is best
to use non-blocking i/o and parallel scanning in all TCP and UDP
modes. Flexible port specification: You don’t always want to scan all
65535 ports! Also, the scanners which only allow you to scan ports 1
- N often fall short of my need. The scanner should allow you to
specify an arbitrary number of ports and ranges for scanning. For
example, ‘21-25,80-113’ is often useful if you are only probing the
most frequently running services.
•
Flexible target specification: You may often want to scan more then
one host, and you certainly don’t want to list every single host on a
large network! It is useful to scan, say a subnet at once, e.g.
131.111.11.0 – 131.111.11.254.
•
Detection of down hosts: Some scanners allow you to scan large
networks, but they waste a huge amount of time scanning 65535
ports of a dead host! Annoying! You are advised to choose a scanner
which allows timeout intervals to be adjusted.
•
Detection of your IP address: For some reason, a lot of scanners ask
you to type in your IP address as one of the parameters. You don’t
want to have to ‘ifconfig’ and figure out your current IP address
every time you connect. Of course, this is better then the scanners
I’ve seen which require recompilation every time you change your
address! If you are using a cable

‘always on’ connection, you may find that the IP address remains
constant, as in my own case.
There are actually 65536 ports in all; however by convention services
with which we are most familiar tend to use the lower numbers.
Here are a few: FTP
21
Telnet
23
SMTP
25
HTTP
80
POP3
110
Although the services can be configured to use other ports, this is
very unusual. Ports above 1024
tend to be used by the operating system. Essentially a port scanner
sends packets of data on each port in tern, and listens for replies to
determine what services are running. A detailed list is available at
the end of the document. This is an example of a simple port
scanner in use: 6
Network Topology Views
This may be useful on occasion. It provides a graphical view of the
resources on your network.
For example, it may show which systems are behind a firewall, and
which routers are on-line.
A ‘network viewer’.
Packet Sniffing
A packet sniffer or protocol analyser is a wire-tap device that plugs
into computer networks and eavesdrops on the network traffic. Like a
telephone wiretap allows one to listen in on other people’s
conversations, a “sniffing” program lets someone listen in on
computer conversations.
However, computer conversations consist of apparently random binary
data. Therefore, network wiretap programs also come with a feature

or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project
Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or
deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect
you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of

Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal
tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax
deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and
your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500

West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact
links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at
www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.
