Discovering live servers over the network

In this recipe, we will learn how to perform the discovery of live network devices/machines over the network, using two methods: Passive information gathering and active information gathering.

We will examine the network traffic of our environment as a part of our passive information gathering, followed by active information gathering, in which we will send packets over the network to detect active machines and services running on them.

Getting ready

In order to begin with this recipe, we will be using a simple ARP sniffing/scanning tool called netdiscover. It is a net-discovery tool which can be used for active/passive ARP reconnaissance.

How to do it...

Let's start with passive reconnaissance:

To start netdiscover, ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.
