Port Scanning Techniques

Port numbers are 16-bit unsigned numbers and can be broadly classified into three categories. Port 0-1023 is "well known ports", 1024 - 49151 are "registered ports" and 49152 - 65535 is "dynamic or private ports". One problem with port scanning is that it is effortlessly logged by the services listening at the scanned ports. This is because they detect an incoming connection, but do not receive any data, thereby generating an application error log. To scan UDP ports, an empty UDP datagram is sent to the port. If the port is listening, the services will send back an error message or ignore the incoming datagram. If the port is closed, the operating system send back "ICMP Port Unreachable" (Type 3) message. Port scanning can be broadly classified into:Open...

The Essential Guide to Vulnerability Scanning

The Essential Guide to Vulnerability ScanningWhile it's important to link business networks to the Internet for the free exchange of information, a Net connection also opens the door to potential security breaches by malicious attackers. Fortunately, there's a way to protect your network's susceptible areas. Vulnerability scanning utilizes technology that seeks out security flaws and tests systems for weak points. Most scanning systems generate a report of their findings so that a business can use the information to tighten its network's security. Though it usually refers to the practice of scanning Internet-linked networks, vulnerability scanning can also be applied to system audits conducted on internal networks that assess the threats posed by rogue software or malicious...
