Introduction to Footprinting and list of People Search Directories, VPN, Web Servers and Proxy Sites


* Footprinting

Footprinting is a part of reconnaissance process which is used for gathering possible information about a target computer system or network. Footprinting could be both passive and active. Reviewing a company’s website is an example of passive footprinting, whereas attempting to gain access to sensitive information through social engineering is an example of active information gathering.
Footprinting is basically the first step where hacker gathers as much information as possible to find ways to intrude into a target system or at least decide what type of attacks will be more suitable for the target.
During this phase, a hacker can collect the following information −
-Domain name
-IP Addresses
-Namespaces
-Employee information
-Phone numbers
-E-mails
-Job Information

Network Cameras, IVMS and Firewall

Image
* Network cameras A network camera, often also called an IP camera, can be described as a camera and computer combined in one unit. The main components of a network camera include a lens, an image sensor, one or several processors, and memory. The processors are used for image processing, compression, video analysis and networking functionalities. The memory is used for storing the network camera’s firmware (computer program) and for local recording of video sequences. Like a computer, the network camera has its own IP address, is connected directly to a network and can be placed wherever there is a network connection. This differs from a web camera, which can only operate when it is connected to a personal computer (PC) via the USB or IEEE 1394 port, and to use it, software must be installed on the PC. A network camera provides web server, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and e-mail functionalities, and includes many other IP network and security protocols. A network camera can ...

Techniques used for Footprinting

Image
* Some Techniques used for Footprinting - Ping Sweep Ping a range of IP addresses to find out which machines are awake. how to ping? Go to cmd -> type: ping (address/domain) eg. ping www.facebook.com - TCP Scans Scan the ports on a machine to see which services are offered.TCP scans can be performed by scanning a single port on a range of IPs, or by scanning a range of ports on single IP, both techniques yield useful information. - Open Source Footprinting It is the easiest and the safest way to go about finding information that is available to the public, such as phone numbers, addresses, etc. Performing whois requests, searching through DNS tables are other forms of open source footprinting. Most of this information is fairly easy to get and within legal limits. One way to check for sensitive information is to check the HTML source code of the website to look for links, comment,Meta tags etc. -   Using Tools whois is the best tool to get information about the w...

Data Extraction and some tools use for Data Extraction

Image
* Data Extraction Data extraction is the act or process of retrieving data out of (usually unstructured or poorly structured) data sources for further data processing or data storage (data migration). The import into the intermediate extracting system is thus usually followed by data transformation and possibly the addition of metadata prior to export to another stage in the data workflow. Typical unstructured data sources include web pages, emails, documents, PDFs, scanned text, mainframe reports, spool files, classifieds, etc.Extracting data from these unstructured sources has grown into a considerable technical challenge where as historically data extraction has had to deal with changes in physical hardware formats, the majority of current data extraction deals with extracting data from these unstructured data sources, and from different software formats. This growing process of data extraction[3] from the web is referred to as Web scraping. * Data Extraction Tools:- Ther...
