Hands-on Assignment 1 - Footprinting
(DUE September 1, 2005 by midnight EST) One of the most astounding side-effects of the Internet is how readily accessible information is about individuals, organizations, and computer systems. This assignment is designed to give you some experience in obtaining this information.
- Use NSLookup to determine the IP address of cpsc.ColumbusState.edu and sail-1.ColumbusState.edu
- Determine who administers these computers and any other information readily available about the network. You may use any websites or tools like ARIN, Neotrace, Whois, or other open source public information. Describe how you found the information. You now have all kinds of information that would allow you to take advantage of vulnerabilities at that site.
- Repeat this process for your place of employment or the school where you obtained your undergraduate degree.
- Discuss ways that you could exploit this information.
- Submit your solutions to the dropbox.
