digininja Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 In which case, talk to you teachers about it, we can't give you solutions which may count as cheating. General advice, check you've got the IP address right and you've got network access between the two hosts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoExecute Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 what OS are you running nmap from ? And, yep, check it's the right IP on the target. But, also, if nothing is actually listening, nmap won't find anything, so make sure samba / print and filesharing is working or whatever you're targeting, and you can actually see the machine.. To confirm nmap is working, try to run it against you router (in YOUR network) 🙂 But you say it's for your studies, what are you studying if I may ask ? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfexe Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 im running NMAP from parrot sec on other vms it does work does it mean it doesnt have any active services? im following "IT systems and devices" its basicly for general IT stuff like CCNA, windows server, Topdesk, Linux and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 If you've been asked to do an external "hack" against an XP box and you are beginner then it will have open ports. And anyone still teaching against XP boxes should be taken out to pasture along with XP. Join the modern world! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfexe Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 lol true. ive done sickOS 1.2 and 1.1 so far and at the end they want us to hack windows server 2019. so i guess this is just to practice. i asked my teacher about it again and he asked if i had install some service on XP so thats why there where no ports open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoExecute Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 You really don't have to install a service to hack XP, just enable samba file and print sharing, and allow it on the network, and find some exploit for xp samba... Metasploit comes to mind here 🙂 /NX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
