Sometime when you need to map networks, for example when you gain access to a LAN server without security tools on it, it can be useful to retrieve reverses dns for a specified internal PI. You can do it directly in bash with this short command line (example for 192.168.1.0/24) : seq 1 254 |xargs -I{} -n 1 host 192.168.1.{} It also works fine on a public PI of course.

So this is definitely me not knowing nearly enough about networking but when i scan a live host on my lab network with Nmap (Using Metasploitable as the OS as a VM) i get a list of services and the ports they run on as you would expect. However if i perform a scan using my ISP provided IPV6 IP address i simply get the port 111 and rpcbind. So all im trying to confirm is, i wont actually be able to get a list of services and ports for a particular host until im in the network, correct? Scanning the ISP IP is basically just scanning my router isn't it?

How can I make "BT5r3 64bit" HOST (not VM) create a network interface for USB wi-fi adapter? "BT5r3 64bit GNOME" HOST won't create a network interface for USB wireless adapter, but "BT5r3 64bit GNOME" VM creates a network interface such as wlan0. Hello folks, I had installed "Backtrack 5 R3 64bit GNOME" in an External USB HDD. BT5r3 "automatically" recognizes the built-in wireless/wired card and show its network interface as wlan0/eth0 respectively. It also detects the USB wireless adapter via "lsusb" command, but it doesn't create a network interface such as wlan1. "lsusb" command shows: -------------- Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n The USB wireless adapter is supported by the preloaded drivers of BT5r3 because... When I install "BT5r3 64bit GNOME" in a VM, it "automatically" detects my USB wireless adapter, so it creates a network interface as "wlan0". I had tried different ways that I had found in the internet but it doesn't seem to work for me. Some of the things that I've done so far: - at first I install driver ath9k_htc, do lsmod, modprobe, reboot PC etc... - didn't work for me - install also ndiswrapper... - didn't work either - airmon-ng ONLY shows the built-in wifi, NOT the USB wi-fi adapter. The built-in wi-fi is named "wlan0" by the HOST: Interface Chipset Driver wlan0 Atheros ath9k - [phy0] - I already upgraded BT5r3... - didn't work - in the end I found out that THERE IS NO NEED for the USB wi-fi driver installation because "BT5r3 in VM" automatically detects USB wi-fi adapter and creates an interface as wlan0. - meaning to say that upon installation of BT5r3, BT5r3 has the driver for this type of hardware USB wi-fi adapter. - I modify the file in the HOST /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules - I used the same file in the VM that has the USB wireless info, then replace the HOST file - also try to renamed the HOST file built-in wi-fi "wlan0" to "wlan1", still no interface for USB wi-fi - let's say as wlan0 (I'm hoping that after rebooting, the HOST will create another interface for USB wireless adapter) - I also try to erase this HOST file then reboot PC, hoping that the new file that it will create has additional interface such as wlan1. How can I make my HOST "BT5r3 64bit GNOME" creates a network interface for my USB wirelesss adapter? Thanks. :)
