Hello All, I am a newbie in security-basics. Usually we run some port scanners to find out what ports are open on any server/pc. eg : a Windows 2000 box running a netbios services or a linux box running sendmail. Can someone give me some hint/start in moving forward and trying to gain Administrative/root controlo these boxes ? How can we do a penetration test ? a) How can I find out what are the vulbnerabilities in that box. b) How can I take advantage of that ?
Where can I find this infromation ? Please help me in underatnd and moving ahead from this point. Regards, Vijay. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
