Information Gathering Introduction      Welcome to module 3 of the workshop. We have been talking about the 90/10 principle and we learned that 90 percent of the ethical hacking or penetration testing work around goes into gathering the information of the target network. We have also covered the activities usually performed in the information-gathering phase. In this module, we do hands-on in our virtual hacking lab we have justbuilt in our previous module. Prerequisite   It is strongly recommended to newcomers that they should first complete the previous modules and clear the concepts. Follow the steps to build the virtual hacking lab we have been explaining in previous two modules. Quick walkthrough    In the information gathering phase, you collect as much as information about the target network as you can. The information gathering phase is comprised of four (4) activities listed below. • Identify live hosts • Discovering operating systems • Discover

Understanding the methods for hacking Network Nodes  Introduction       In this module, we will cover the overall hacking methodology in order to attack network nodes. We spoke about the 90/10 principle in our previous module; in this module we will elaborate in granular detail to explain the concept of this principle. Prerequisites     To get the most out of this workshop, it is recommended that you should first complete the previous module before making an effort to go through this module. You must have the understanding of the terminologies explained in the previous module and have the virtual hacking lab up and running. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you complete the previous module. 90/10 Principle    In general, this principle doesn’t reinvent the wheel, however, it highlights the core requirements of all types of ethical hacking and penetration testing. All types of ethical hacking / penetration testing basically have two main phases in overall p
