In this skill, we're going to be circling back to the previous one and
expanding on some of the
notes and practice that we did, capturing and examining network traffic passam
ically.
Now, we mentioned in the previous skill that we could actually fingerprint some
operating
systems. I didn't forget we're getting we're going to get there and we can even
examine the data
we capture even more to start getting more information pertaining to our
vulnerability assessment
and playing into the actual scanning of the pen testing lifecycle and
reinforcing actual
reconnaissance. Now, we're going to be covering a couple of tools and using a
couple of examples
inside of our depth lab. And one of those tools is actually going to be inside
of Windows.
Here not, I've already got it covered. It's pre-installed on the lab image that
you'll be going
into. Now, the reason that we go into many different tools and not just in the
Kali specifically is
because for one, there's a course covering Kali overall and 103 with this one.
And the other reason
is is that there are a wide variety of tools out there. And as we used to say
in the Army,
this is more of a shooter's preference, if you will, in as far as how you would
like to be able to
conduct your pen test. Now, there are many different ways that you can actually
parse this data that
we're going to be taking a look at. And there are many other skills and courses
here on CBT nuggets
to allow you to be able to gain different tool sets as well. We're just going
over the basics right
now. So that way throughout the course, as we start to expand, we'll see that
some of these
tools will be called back and relying on more so than others. And this is just
to get a firm
baseline of practice. There's no set in stone way that you actually have to do
stuff. That's in
that visual friend of its world. So let's go ahead and dive on into and get the
traffic that we captured
and fire up that adept lab and I'll meet you there.
