grant_g Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So, scanning in my lab is just as you would expect (boring, expected usual things). I read in a reply to a post I posted months ago to go out into the world and just watch (i.e. scan) to learn. I decided my school would be great place and indeed it is - I'm very confused. From just running standard Nmap scans, i pull up 90% devices from Lanner Electronics and the rest other users on the network. I expected to find far more users (there were 100+ laptops online in the library), but I digress. Also. My windows side always connects to 10.68.28.xx subnet while my BT5 side (which uses wifi from an external and separate from windows Alfa card) always connects to 10.68.18.xx. How do I learn more. I really want to know how this network is setup in functions. What tools/scans/reading should I do to learn more? Thanks, Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_g Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Both wireless. The network blocked BT5 from connecting in bridged IP mode so I attached an extra Alfa card for BT5. Thanks for the reference too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Also. My windows side always connects to 10.68.28.xx subnet while my BT5 side (which uses wifi from an external and separate from windows Alfa card) always connects to 10.68.18.xx. I'd say who ever set up the network must have configured individual subnets throughout the school. That could explain the two networks 10.68.28.x and 10.68.18.x you are seeing.

grant_g Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Always windows get A and BT 5 gets B. For the first come first serve test I made my Windows side reconnect after BT5 was connected - back to subnet A. In BT5, however, I see multiple networks with SSID "students." Now, I figure this is because there are multiple APs in the library to associate with so I tried joining different ones. Every time it is subnet B.

Infiltrator Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 How are you running Backtrack? On a VM or Bare bone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astromech_kuhns Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I will agree that the nmap book is amazing! i bought it and have not finished or hardly started it yet as im finishing my A+ book and a security book, but i just kinda read a few pages and looked through the contents and it looks like it will be an amazing book with lots of information!

grant_g Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Running through a VM. And again, what are the Lanner Electronics hosts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
