Two New THA Network Pen Testing Modules to Start April!
April 4, 2011
Both Jeremy Conway and Dan Frye release modules for the start of April – 2 brand new modules in Network Penetration Testing.
Jeremy explains his module on Passive OS Fingerprinting:
“Passive operating system fingerprinting is a method for passively detecting the operating system of a remote host based on certain characteristics within that host’s network stack. Due to the passive nature of this analysis, the remote system being fingerprinted cannot detect this style of reconnaissance. In this learning module we will examine several common metrics utilized to perform passive operating system fingerprinting and some of the most common applications and/or tools that can perform this type of reconnaissance.”
Dan explains ARP Attacks and Intro to EtterCap:
“Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) attacks on a LAN are one of the most significant types of attacks employed by pentesters due to its ease of execution and the effects to other hosts on the LAN. In this module we’ll review the basics of how ARP works, the reasons why ARP attacks are so successful, and introduce students to Ettercap, the “swiss army knife” of ARP poisoning attacks.”
The modules are an awesome way for our members to start of Spring – nice job, Dan and Jeremy!
