Dear All,
I am new to this list and heartily apologies if I could have put any
irrelevant query. OSSTMM has defined fantastic rules and guidelines on testing
security. Is there any document available on OSSTMM, which describe how to do
tasks or described them in detail? I have some queries on how to perform rules
and guidelines. Some of them I have written today, very soon I’ll come with
some more…
Comments are in-line
Network Surveying
Examine tracks from the target organization.
• Search web logs and intrusion logs for system trails from the target
network.
What could be the possible “keywords” to search here for web and intrusion
logs?
Information Leaks
• Examine target web server source code and scripts for application servers
and internal links.
What to check here? Is it indicating to check client side script?
Port Scanning
Tasks to perform for a thorough Port Scan:
Error Checking
• Check the route to the target network for packet loss
• Measure the rate of packet round-trip time
• Measure the rate of packet acceptance and response on the target network
• Measure the amount of packet loss or connection denials at the target
network
Which tools can be used to perform mentioned tasks, and how to use these
results further?
Enumerate Systems
• How to "Collect broadcast responses from the network".
Is it to stop Smurf kind of attacks? What setup I need in my Lab to test this?
Services Identification
Tasks to perform for a thorough service probe:
• How to “Locate and identify service remapping or system redirects”.
• Use UDP-based service and trojan requests to all the systems in the network.
How to use UDP-based service requests to all the systems in the network.
That's all for now. Any comment, highly appreciated.
Cheers!
Indian Tiger, CISSP
