Network Hacking Posted by R@hUl | at 9:00 AM

Network Hacking is generally means gathering information
about domain by using tools like Telnet, NslookUp,
Ping, Tracert, Netstat, etc.
It also includes OS Fingerprinting, Port Scaning and
Port Surfing using various tools.

Ping

Ping is part of ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
which is used to troubleshoot TCP/IP networks. So,
Ping is basically a command that allows you to check
whether the host is alive or not.
To ping a particular host the syntax is
(at command prompt)--c:/>ping hostname.com
example:- c:/>ping www.google.com

Netstat

It displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP
network connections. i.e. local address, remote address, port number, etc.
It's syntax is (at command prompt)--c:/>netstat -n

Telnet

Telnet is a program which runs on TCP/IP. Using it we
can connect to the remote computer on particular port.
When connected it grabs the daemon running on that port.
The basic syntax of Telnet is (at command prompt)--
c:/>telnet hostname.com

By default telnet connects to port 23 of remote computer.
So, the complete syntax is-
c:/>telnet www.hostname.com port

example:- c:/>telnet www.yahoo.com 21 or c:/>telnet 192.168.0.5 21


Tracert

It is used to trace out the route taken by the certain
information i.e. data packets from source to destination.
It's syntax is (at command prompt)--
c:/>tracert www.hostname.com

Here "* * * Request timed out."
indicates that firewall installed on that system block
the request and hence we can't obtain it's IP address.

various attributes used with tracert command and their
sage can be viewed by just typing c:/>tracert at the
command prompt.

The information obtained by using tracert command can
be further used to find out exact operating system
running on target system.
