You have initiated an active operating system fingerprinting attempt with nmap against a target system:
[root@ceh NG]# /usr/local/bin/nmap -sT -O 10.0.0.1
Starting nmap 3.28 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/) at 2003-06-18 19:14 IDT Interesting ports on 10.0.0.1:
(The 1628 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service
21/tcp filtered ftp 22/tcp filtered ssh 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 135/tcp open loc-srv
139/tcp open netbios-ssn 389/tcp open LDAP 443/tcp open https 465/tcp open smtps 1029/tcp open ms-lsa 1433/tcp open ms-sql-s
2301/tcp open compaqdiag 5555/tcp open freeciv 5800/tcp open vnc-http 5900/tcp open vnc 6000/tcp filtered X11
Remote operating system guess: Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT4 or 95/98/98SE Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3.334 seconds

Using its fingerprinting tests nmap is unable to distinguish between different groups of Microsoft based operating systems - Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT4 or 95/98/98SE. What operating system is the target host running based on the open ports shown above?

  1. Windows XP
  2. Windows 98 SE
  3. Windows NT4 Server
  4. Windows 2000 Server

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The system is reachable as an active directory domain controller (port 389, LDAP)



Study the log below and identify the scan type. tcpdump -vv host 192.168.1.10
17:34:45.802163 eth0 < 192.168.1.1 > victim: ip-proto-117 0 (ttl 48, id 36166)

17:34:45.802266 eth0 < 192.168.1.1 > victim: ip-proto-162 0 (ttl 48, id 47066)

17:34:46.112143 eth0 < 192.168.1.1 > victim: ip-proto-162 0 (ttl 48, id 51058) tcpdump -vv -x host 192.168.1.10
17:35:06.731739 eth0 < 192.168.1.10 > victim: ip-proto-130 0 (ttl 59, id 42060) 4500 0014 a44c

  1. nmap -sR 192.168.1.10
  2. nmap -sS 192.168.1.10
  3. nmap -sV 192.168.1.10
  4. nmap -sO -T 192.168.1.10

Answer(s): D



Why would an attacker want to perform a scan on port 137?

  1. To discover proxy servers on a network
  2. To disrupt the NetBIOS SMB service on the target host
  3. To check for file and print sharing on Windows systems
  4. To discover information about a target host using NBTSTAT

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Microsoft encapsulates netbios information within TCP/Ip using ports 135-139. It is trivial for an attacker to issue the following command:
nbtstat -A (your Ip address) from their windows machine and collect information about your windows machine (if you are not blocking traffic to port 137 at your borders).



Steve scans the network for SNMP enabled devices. Which port number Steve should scan?

  1. 69
  2. 150
  3. 161
  4. 169

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The SNMP default port is 161. Port 69 is used for tftp, 150 is for SQL-NET and 169 is for SEND.



One of the ways to map a targeted network for live hosts is by sending an ICMP ECHO request to the broadcast or the network address. The request would be broadcasted to all hosts on the targeted network. The live hosts will send an ICMP ECHO Reply to the attacker source IP address.
You send a ping request to the broadcast address 192.168.5.255. [root@ceh/root]# ping -b 192.168.5.255
WARNING: pinging broadcast address
PING 192.168.5.255 (192.168.5.255) from 192.168.5.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=4.1 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.5.5: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=5.7 ms
---

---
There are 40 computers up and running on the target network. Only 13 hosts send a reply while others do not. Why?

  1. You cannot ping a broadcast address. The above scenario is wrong.
  2. You should send a ping request with this command ping 192.168.5.0-255
  3. Linux machines will not generate an answer (ICMP ECHO Reply) to an ICMP ECHO request aimed at the broadcast address or at the network address.
  4. Windows machines will not generate an answer (ICMP ECHO Reply) to an ICMP ECHO request aimed at the broadcast address or at the network address.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

As stated in the correct option, Microsoft Windows does not handle pings to a broadcast address correctly and therefore ignores them.
