Then, you wait.īefore you move on to Step 3, we have an additional recommendation that isn’t necessary but it will help. Once you have this installed, you can run it by doing the following: Click Applications, Backtrack, Vulnerability Assessment, Vulnerability Scanner, Nessus, and finally, Nessus Start. Once you have these results, we recommend running a vulnerability scan. Essentially, what the Ping Sweet does is it sweeps and scans all the IP addresses from IP address A to IP address B. They aren’t real IP addresses to real sites so you’ll want to replace those with the IP address of a real site (the site you are performing penetration testing on). Now, in that code, you’ll notice something strange.
To do this, you’ll want to enter the following code into the terminal and wait for the results. So, the first way to scan the site in question is with a Ping Sweep. It’s the actual scanning process and quite frankly, it’s the least complicated step (or one of them). Step 2 forgetting hacking practice is also our favorite step. With that being said, it’s about time we move on to Step 2! Step 2 – Scan The Site We aren’t going to cover that here in this lesson but that’s because it is more of a convenience and isn’t completely necessary. There are also tools available for download that will let you repeat this process but for sub-domains and emails. Give it a few minutes and you’ll have duplicates of the entire site’s contents downloaded. To copy the entire website, you’ll simply hit “1” on your keyboard. Once you do that and hit enter, you’ll be given a list of options. Next, you will give your path a name (you can leave it blank if you want) and you will enter a website to copy. If that were to happen, you’d need to install this tool anyways so it’s best to play it safe and use it from the beginning. You also don’t assume the risk of getting kicked off of the server before you get what you need. This means that you won’t have to be digging around through some site live and wasting precious time. Now, in case you’re wondering, this program will allow us to index all of the pages on a given site before we start the actual penetration testing process. Once that’s done, go ahead and type in “httrack” into the console to pull it up. To do this, open Backtrack 5 and enter “sudo apt=get install httrack” and get ready for the next step. Step 1 – Surveillanceīefore we get going with the actual penetration testing, we want to install a free program called “HTTrack” via the Backtrack 5 console. Are you ready to get started? Great! Scroll down. In the Backtrack 5 Tutorial below, we’re going to walk you through the 4 basic steps of penetration testing and teach you what you need to know in order to perform it yourself. You’ll also hear of penetration testing referred to as ethical hacking or white hat hacking. After all, if you can get into a company’s network then that means that someone else probably can to. It sounds a lot like hacking, doesn’t it? Don’t worry! It’s perfectly legal as long as you are using it with good intentions such as exploiting your own network and using the tool to make your network more secure.īelieve us when we say this, there is a big demand for this. In a nutshell, penetration testing is a way for an individual (or company) to test the security of a network. What if you don’t even know what penetration testing is? Well, before we get started, we’re going to tell you. Hopefully, with this Backtrack 5 Tutorial, we’re going to change that for you.
