Google hacking

Google hacking is a term that refers to the art of creating complex search engine queries in order to filter through large amounts of search results for information related to computer security. In its malicious format it can be used to detect websites that are vulnerable to numerous exploits and vulnerabilities as well as locate private, sensitive information about others, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and passwords. This filtering is performed by using advanced Google operators [1], [2]. While Google was the original tool of the Google hackers, many of the tactics and operators can be used on other search engines, such as MSN Search and Yahoo.Google Hacking involves using Google operators to locate specific strings of text within search results.

The Shell

"What Is a Shell?"Think of the shell as Super-Dooper DOS. You enter a command, the shell checks it out, then the kernel does the rest.Most Linux distributions use bash as the default shell. There are many others. Two of the most popular being pdksh and tcsh (pronounced tea-shell). This manual only covers the bash shell since the purpose of this manual is to get you using Linux as quick as possible. When you become confident with Linux, finding out about the other shells is a piece-of-cake."Why Is It Called a Shell?"The shell's job is to interpret the commands and run the programs you request. Linux is a multi-tasking OS (meaning you can run multiple programs). Linux was also designed to be a multi-user OS, meaning it can run multiple shells. Each user is allocated his/her own shell at login....

The Kernel (The Heart of an OS)

All operating systems have a kernel. The kernel is the heart, the life-blood, the core of an operating system. Everything else is just there to make the operating system worth using. The kernel provides low-level services, such as memory management, basic hardware interaction, networking, and security.The Linux kernel version numbering system works as follows:z.y.xz = Major version (we've had 0, 1, and 2 so far)y = Minor versionx = Revision levelDevelopment of the Linux kernel uses a 'two-tree' system. There's the development tree and the stable tree. If y is an odd number, it's the development tree. If y is even, it's the stable tree.At the time of writing, 2.3.28 is the latest development kernel and 2.2.13 is the latest stable kernel.When Linus (the kernel's creator) decides the 2.3 kernel...

Upgrading Your Kernel

Dispelling The MysticismMuch mysticism has been built around the difficulty of upgrading your Linux kernel. Truth is, it's not that difficult.Note:You'll need to be logged on as root whilst performing all of the following steps.- 1 -Download/move a kernel source file (e.g. linux-2.2.13.tar.gz) to your /usr/src directory.- 2 -Enter:cd /usr/src- 3 -Enter:rm linux...to remove the symbolic link named linux.- 4 -Enter:tar xzf linux-2.2.13.tar.gz...(changing linux-2.2.13.tar.gz to the name of your kernel source file), to extract the compressed and archived source code files.- 5 -You'll now have a new directory called linux. 'cd' into it, by entering:cd linux- 6 -It's now time to configure everything to your liking -- prior to actually building the kernel image. Newbies will likely find the graphical...

Security and Firewall Basics

OverviewThere are four ‘pillars’ in Information Security:Authentication: To verify somebody’s / something’s identityAccess Control: To restrict access to valuable resourcesConfidentiality: To ensure the privacy of dataIntegrity: To prevent unauthorised changes to data.Various technologies offer one or more of these for various aspects of IT. Examples of technologies that offer some of these pillars are encryption, physical access-control, biometrics, proxies, PKI and firewalls.A firewall offers authentication (limited) and access control for IP.There are three kinds of firewall:A screening router blocks packet by looking at fields in the packet header.A proxy firewall offers a virtual service for the server it’s protecting.A session firewall intercepts the TCP connection to the server it’s...

FTP

OverviewFTP is an application protocol used to exchange files between computers on the Internet.FTP uses TCP to establish a session between the client and the server.FTP always establishes two TCP connections:The first is the control connection. This connection is made from a random port on the client to port 21 on the server. The FTP commands and error messages are sent over this connection.The 2nd connection is the data connection. The data connection can be made in two different modes: active mode and passive mode. The way the data connection is established for each of these two modes is different (more later). All FTP data, including file downloads and directory listings, is sent along this connection.The FTP data connection can work in two ways: active mode and passive mode. In most FTP...

Ports and Applications

OverviewPorts are the way a client program specifies a particular server program (service) on a host.Higher-level applications that use TCP/IP, such HTTP, have ports with pre-assigned numbers. These are known as "well-known ports" and have been assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).Other application processes are given port numbers dynamically for each connection.When a service (server program) initially is started, it is said to bind to its designated port number. A client program wants to use that service, connects to that port on the server.Key conceptsWell-known ports are:FTP data: 20 File Transfer ProtocolFTP control 21telnet: 23SMTP (mail): 25 Simple Mail Transfer ProtocolDNS (UPD & TCP): 53 Domain Name ServiceHTTP: 80 Hypertext Transfer ProtocolPOP3: 110 Post...

Install an RPM Package on Ubuntu Linux

Installing software on Ubuntu usually entails using Synaptic or by using an apt-get command from the terminal. Unfortunately, there are still a number of packages out there that are only distributed in RPM format.There's a utility called Alien that converts packages from one format to the other. This doesn't always mean that an rpm will work on your system, though. You will need to install some prerequisite software packages in order to install alien, however. These packages include gcc and make.Run this command to install alien and other necessary packages: sudo apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essentialTo convert a package from rpm to debian format, use this command syntax. The sudo may not be necessary, but we'll include it just in case. sudo alien packagename.rpmTo install...

IP addresses and subnet masking

OverviewAn IP address is actually a 32 bit binary number, consisting of 4 x 8bit octets.The IP address indicates both the subnet to which a host belongs, and the host address within that subnet.The subnet mask (or netmask) indicates the distinction between the host part and the network part of the address.The netmask is also a 32 bit binary number. It lines up with the 32bit address and indicates the network part with 1’s and the host part with 0’sThe mask can also be written as a decimal number using 4 x 8it octets. For e.g. a mask of 255.255.255.0 indicates that the host is in a class [C] network. Thus:11111111 = 255 (1 host), 11111100 = 252 (4 IPs), 11111000 = 248 (8 IPs), 11110000 = 240 (16 IPs), 11100000 = 224 (32 IPs), 11000000 = 192 (64 IPs), 100000000 = 128 (128 IPs) and 00000000 =...

IP Basics

OverviewThe Internet is a network of networks. It is built on IP – the Internet Protocol.IP is a Network Level protocol on the OSI stackAn IP packet is carried in the payload part of the datalink layer protocol (typically Ethernet).The IP packet also has a header and a payloadThe IP header includes Source IP, Destination IP, Payload protocol type and other important control information.Higher level (Transport level) protocols commonly used with IP are UPD, TCP and ICMP.IP is a best-effort packet delivery system. This means that (a) it delivers each packet individually and independently, (b) it offers no guarantee that a packet will be delivered and (c) it offers no mechanism for monitoring the success or failure of a packet delivery.Key conceptsIP: Internet ProtocolUDP: User Datagram ProtocolTCP:...

IP: Internet Protocol

The physical layerOverviewNetworks are built in layers (e.g. the OSI stack)Each layer is independent of the others and they are interchangeable.Ethernet resides on the OSI Datalink layer.IP resides on the OSI Network layer.TCP resides on the OSI Transport layerOther protocols that can inter-operate with IP on the Datalink layer are: Token Rink, PPP, SLIP, X.25 Frame Relay etcEach Ethernet network card has a unique address – physical address or Media Access Control (MAC) address.An Ethernet frame (packet) consists of a header and a payload (data).The header contains the source address, the destination address and control information.The payload can contain data for any protocol (e.g. IP).If the payload contains IP data, then the MAC address is mapped to the IP address using the Address Resolution...
