Port Scanning Demo
Basic syn scan – of a default Windows XP build
nmap –sSU –A –oA winxp 192.168.0.99
-sSU Use TCP SYN scan and UDP scan-A Perform all tests-oA winxpOutput multiple files

Venerable Nessus!Bad Nessus!Still a damn good toolFree

Exploitation!
Excitement! Risk! …. Danger!Who owns this box?Do you have permission (shouldn’t have been scanning it)Will they be really upset if you break it?
Service Exploitation
•Services available on Internet
•Or internally
•Research service
•Poke it
•Can you log onto in? Love default passwords :)
•What will it give you?
– VOIP phone with default password and access to memory
Example Services
•SMB – Server Message Block
– Protocol for application communication
– Authentication mechanisms
– Windows
– Win2K – 'null' user allows access to entire username directory
Example Services
•Veritas Netbackup
– TCP port 10000, NDMP
– File backup and backup agent management
– Vulnerability allows download of any file from Windows system
– Another overflows buffers and allows code execution
Reverse Shell
Shell code executes TCP connection backStarts local shell processRedirects input and output streams over TCPAttacker gains command prompt
Under the account of the vulnerable process Meterpreter ShellPowerful toolLaunch further attacksPivot to other systems
Privilege Escalation
•Determine current priviledge level
•Add user?
•Exploit further?
•Professional hackers only need go so far…
Vulnerability Ratings
• Impact
– What is the possible damage that could be done?
• Exploitability
– How easy is it to attack and realise the impact?
– How much knowledge is required?
– Are there public exploits?
•Risk Rating
– Combination of Impact and Exploitability
– High impact but low exploitability = low(er) risk
– Many algorithms
