Ways To Attack a Network

Ways To Attack a Network:

Ping

The IP address gives the attacker’s Internet address. The numerical address like 212.214.172.81 does not reveal much. You can use PING to convert the address into a domain name in WINDOWS: The Domain Name Service (DNS) protocol reveals the matching domain name. PING stands for “Packet Internet Groper” and is delivered with practically every Internet compatible system, including all current Windows versions.

Make sure you are logged on to the net. Open the DOS shell and enter the following PING command:

Ping –a 123.123.12.1

Ping will search the domain name and reveal it. You will often have information on the provider the attacker uses e.g.:

dialup21982.gateway123.provider.com

Pinging is normally the first step involved in hacking the target. Ping uses ICMP (Internet Control Messaging Protocol) to determine whether the target host is reachable or not. Ping sends out ICMP Echo packets to the target host, if the target host is alive it would respond back with ICMP Echo reply packets.

All the versions of Windows also contain the ping tool. To ping a remote host follow the procedure below.

Click Start and then click Run. Now type ping <ip address or hostname>

(For example: ping yahoo.com)

This means that the attacker logged on using “provider.com”.

Unfortunately, there are several IP addresses that cannot be converted into domain names.

For more parameter that could be used with the ping command,
go to DOS prompt and type ping /?.

Ping Sweep

If you are undetermined about your target and just want a live system, ping sweep is the solution for you. Ping sweep also uses ICMP to scan for live systems in the specified range of IP addresses. Though Ping sweep is similar to ping but reduces the time involved in pinging a range of IP addresses. Nmap (Download from here) also contains an option to perform ping sweeps.

Tracert:

Tracert is another interesting tool available to find more interesting information about a remote host. Tracert also uses ICMP.

Tracert helps you to find out some information about the systems involved in sending data (packets) from source to destination.

To perform a tracert follow the procedure below.

Tracer connects to the computer whose IP has been entered and reveals all stations starting from your Internet connection. Both the IP address as well as the domain name (if available) is displayed.

If PING cannot reveal a name, Traceroute will possibly deliver the name of the last or second last station to the attacker, which may enable conclusions concerning the name of the provider used by the attacker and the region from which the attacks are coming.

Go to DOS prompt and type tracert <destination address>

(For example: tracert yahoo.com).

But there are some tools available like Visual Traceroute which help you even to find the geographical location of the routers involved.
