With a simple trace command, you can easily verify any IP address and its location for any website. First and foremost, we must find the IP address of a given website using the command line and then use an online platform to get the IP location. This can be done on all operating systems but we're going to use Windows 10 for this tutorial. Step 1 Open Command Prompt On Windows machine, open the command prompt by typing in  cmd  into the search menu or  press windows key + R to open the run utility and type in cmd . Step 2 Get the Website IP Address  We'll use Google as the example site we want to find it's IP and location (www.google.com). , Type in  tracert www.google.com in the command line interface and press enter.   After pressing Enter on your keyboard, you'll notice all the various routing locations for the website (www.google.com), as well as the IP address of the website. Step 3 Get Location There are various sources for finding the location of an...

Before you attempt to exploit any target on a network you've been authorized when pentesting, it is wise to do proper reconnaissance. Without doing reconnaissance, you will likely be wasting your time. In this tutorial, we will be using an active tool called   Maltego , developed by   Paterva , that can do many of these tasks with one simple scan. There is a community edition built into our Kali Linux that allows us 12 scans without purchasing Maltego. It is capable of a significant amount of information gathering about a prospective target in a single sweep of the domain. Using Maltego in Kali to Recon a Target Network Maltego is capable of gathering information about either a network or an individual; here we will focus on the network and leave individual information gathering for another time. We will be looking at gathering info on all the subdomains, the IP address range, the WHOIS info, all of the email addresses, and the relationship between the target domain and others...

I dedicate this new series tutorial f or those of you who are training for careers in the field of cyber security.  When it comes to attacking devices on a network, you can't hit what you can't see. Nmap gives you the ability to explore any devices connected to a network, finding information like the operating system a device is running and which applications are listening on open ports. This information lets a hacker design an attack that perfectly suits the target environment. Network Reconnaissance for Beginners After gaining access to a Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or remote network, the first step for most ethical hackers is to conduct recon to explore the network and learn more about any available targets. You may be familiar with some devices that announce themselves on a network, like other computers advertising file sharing. While this is a useful way of discovering devices on the same network as most devices do not advertise their presence on the network. The solution to the prob...
