NETWORKER 1.01

What is it?

This is portable ( 2 floppy disks 3.5' ) package, that allow you explore security of your local ( or global) network, even you havn't UNIX-machine.

What do it contain?

This package contain 2 floppy disks:
  • boot.dd - Linux RedHat 4.1 boot disk, with big kernel configured to recognize most part of processors, network cards, hard drives, adapters ...
  • root.dd - Compressed root filesystem, that contain many lunix utilities, including network tools:
    • Standard: telnet, ftp, rsh, ...
    • Packet Sniffer: sniffit 0.3.5
    • Best port scanner: nmap
  • Documentation on sniffit and nmap

What is a sniffer?

"A sniffer can be any tool that is designed to listen IP traffic of yur network. Sniffers can be used by hackers to gain vital information on a remote host such as what passwords are used by other users etc."

What is a scanner?

"A scanner can be any tool that is designed to check a socket or a host for a desired result. Scanners can be used by
hackers to gain vital information on a remote host such as what sockets have been left open by the administrator etc."

What is NMAP?

The best port scanner. Look at its manual.

What is Sniffit?

The best sniffer by Brecht Claerhout. Look at its manual.

How can You use it?

  1. Copy *.dd files to floppy disks using dd (Unix), or DOS diskdupe or rawrite:

  2. Example
    /root>dd if=root.dd of=/dev/fd0
    
    or
    D:\USER\NETWORKER>RAWRITE.EXE
    Enter disk image source file name: boot.dd
    Enter target diskette drive: a
  3. Boot from bootdisk ( boot.dd )
  4. After prompt insert rootdisk ( root.dd )
  5. During booting you will be asked to edit (by VI) some configuration files then you must specify IP adress and some other network parameters.

  6. ( Note: The most important parameter is IP adress,
    you can set any IP adress, that not used at your network.
    If you don't want networking, and want only sniff network traffic, you may don't set any parameters)
  7. After promt such as
  8.   hostname login:
    
    type something ( sdfsf) ,press ENTER and enjoy.

What can you do?

  • You will have 6 virtual consoles ( Switch to N-console => Ctrl+Shift+FN)
  • You can mount local hard disk of your PC,
  • /* mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt */
    or remote account by NFS,or Samba
    /* smbmount //server/alex /mnt -Ualex -Plora17 */
    and log&save IP-traffic to future analysis.
  • You can watch IP-traffic interactively
  • /* sniffit -i*/
  • You can do port scan using all features of advanced port scanning ( SYN-scan, FINN-scan, fragmented-scan ...) using nmap.
  • Where can you get it?

    This package has been tested at many PC & networks, and many passwords I have got using it ... ;^)

    KNOWN PROBLEMS:

    I have problems with NE2000 network card. During booting then Linux kernel try to autodetect type of network card PC hang up. Sometimes this problem can be solved if you know interrupt,i/o,ports and specify it during booting.
