Lab - Footprinting

This hands-on guide demonstrates how to conduct "Footprinting of a network" The best way to ensure your infrastructure is secure is to understand the steps an intruder may use to footprint a reconnaissance a network. 

Choose one of the below paths Easy or Hard provide screenshots and a summary of your findings,  "If you do both, you will receive extra credit."

This exercise is exploratory (no right or wrong answer)

GUI - Easy

1. Go to dnschecker.org input "www.motionborg.com"

• Go through the text records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SRV, SOA, TXT, CAA) In a word document copy and paste the information (Blue Text) of all the Text Record information

Manually-Hard

3.  Use Command Prompt: Run Traceroute on www.motionborg.com to get more details see document here(https://kb.intermedia.net/article/682)

4. Use Command Prompt to Use nslookup see document here (https://kb.intermedia.net/Article/819)

Consider:

• Is the site www.motionborg.com secure with SSL? is the site vulnerable to script injection attacks?
• Look at the source code does anything stand out to you?
• What did you find out about the network?
• Are other networks connected to it?
• Is it a Linux or Windows server
• Based on your findings what are some vulnerabilities
  

 Note: It is really easy to get stuck in the Matrix, do not dive to in-depth - just the surface of gathering information.
