Wireshark is one of the tools that help you identify incoming and outgoing packets be it UDP or TCP level, ICMP or IP level. Wireshark is a tool that intercepts packets and analyze them. One of the helpful tool that helped me analyze how website POST GET works for my projects, it is considered user friendly thanks to its Graphical User Interface. The GUI of Wireshark is one of its strong points. You are able to look at a list of tens and thousands of packets and filter them according to your need with conditional statements. Wireshark is capable of running in both Linux and Windows. Read the rest of this entry »

Land Attack!
February 25, 2011 — genesisdatabaseA LAND (Local Area Network Denial) attack is a DoS (Denial of Service) attack that consists of sending a special poison spoofed packet to a computer, causing it to lock up. The security flaw was actually first discovered in 1997 by someone using the alias “m3lt”, and has resurfaced many years later in operating systems such as Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP SP2.

By using the tool hping3 by Hping, this packet can be crafted! Although most firewalls are already there to stop this, this concept is nonetheless creative. A similar command from hping3 would include:
hping3 --baseport 80 --destport 80 --syn --spoof TARGET_IP TARGET_IP
TCP / IP Sockets in C | eBook
January 6, 2011 — genesisdatabaseAre you interested in building your own TCP / IP application in C? Learn how to make client server applications such as Instant Messaging or apply TCP / IP onto your existing system for further benefit.

Analyzing network packets
December 28, 2010 — genesisdatabaseThose of you that think of yourself as a hacker, do you know what does a network packet look like? Have you ever read network packets in your life, do you know how they work? Take a look in the TCP packet below and try to figure out what the packet is doing as well as getting the source ip address and port of the sender.

Tips: Think of the packet as an Ethernet frame.
