The Important Hacking Terms for Ethical Hacking with Kali Linux
Hello everybody and welcome back in the previous tutorial we covered some of the basic networking terms which you will need to know in order to follow up with this course now those were just some of the basic terms not really widely explained if you want to know more about some of those terms that I covered in
In the previous video, you can always google any of them and just learn more about them but in this video, we will cover some of the hacking terms that you need to know in order to better understand what we will be doing in the next lectures so I will just write you I will open leafpad which is basically something like notepad just in Linux
And here i will write one by one the terms that we cover so now the first hacking term which is also a beginning process in ethical hacking is called footprinting [Music] now you might be asking now what is footprinting well basically it is just the same as it says it is it's just getting as many information about for example a company as you can
Before you attack them now let's say a client asks you to test his company or his yes his company website and you want to get as much information as you can now one of the most common methods for doing that would probably be google hacking which is basically just opening google and searching for files or anything that is uploaded on the internet which may help you
In further attacks, there is also a website called shodan and it is basically used to discover vulnerable devices on the internet you can use that in order to check if any of those devices that belong to the company is vulnerable to any of the known attacks now we will cover all of those tools don't worry we will cover them one by one in detail and you will know better what am i
Talking about but also there is one more tool which I don't think is that known but it is called harvester I'm not sure we have it installed in the kyle Linux we might have if we don't we will install it harvester is basically used for gathering the emails for a certain domain, for example, you want to gather all of
For the emails that belong to apple company for example you just type the domain name and the harvester will basically automatically go over google there are a bunch of other options that I will show you but plainly it will go over to google and search for all the emails available that belong to that domain so you will basically get a list of all the emails that belong to
A certain company that you are attacking now is basically footprinting so we will cover that firstly in one of the next lectures once you finish footprinting there comes the next thing the next process in the process of vertical hacking which is scanning and enumeration so I will just write that out right here scanning and enumeration now footprinting basically
Gets you the information without actually testing or without actually attacking the company itself or the website or whatever it is you are testing now scanning basically does is it says it is just scanning the company network for example in order to discover what versions of software they're running what ports they have
Open what operating system are they running on their machines and more and more now you might have heard for this program you probably have if you have any ethical hacking knowledge from before it is called Nmap let me just type here nmap this is the program that we will cover in details it is basically used to scan a network you can
Use it to scan a website or a range of IP addresses if you want to you can discover with it what ports are open on a certain website or on a certain machine or on more machines you can also discover what the operating system it has it basically just prints you out with a bunch of operating systems and it shows the possibility of having that operating
System in percentage it is most likely accurate but there are times when it just gives you a wrong operating system but those i didn't have that much now also what Nmap can do is discover the version of software running on an open port so, for example, you have an HTTP port open and you're running a website the end map for
The Nmap has the ability to discover for example what web server are you running on that port so it might print out an apache tool or anything else that you're running there which basically just gives out the banner in order for us to grab it and find out what version you're running now as I said we will cover all of that in the details from now on you just need to know theoretically what it basically does
