INTRODUCTION TO CEH
PRESENTED BY:HEMANT MITAL
WHY SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT
CEH?
• In this Tech-savvy world of 21st
Century every one is
engaged with internet, through whatsapp , twitter,
facebook , net-banking & lots of other platforms are
there.
• And some criminal minded persons commit crimes here,
which is included under cyber-crime.
• We should be aware about crimes happening around in the
cyber-space, so we can protect ourselves.
WHAT A CEH DO?
• Ā A CEH is hired to locate and repair application
and system security vulnerabilities to preempt
exploitations by black hat hackers and others
with potentially illegal intentions.Ā 
•Ethical hackers employ the same tools and
techniques as the intruders.
EXAMPLES OF CYBER CRIME
STEPS FOR PEN TESTING
1. Preparation
2. Footprinting
3. Enumeration & Fingerprinting
4. Identification of Vulnerabilities
5. Attack – Exploit the Vulnerabilities
6. Cover tracks
PREPARATION
• Identification of Targets – company websites, mail servers, extranets, etc.
• Signing of Contract
• Agreement on protection against any legal issues
• Contracts to clearly specifies the limits and dangers of the test
• Specifics on Denial of Service Tests, Social Engineering, etc.
• Time window for Attacks
• Total time for the testing
• Prior Knowledge of the systems
• Key people who are made aware of the testing
FOOTPRINTING
Collecting as much information about the target
•DNS Servers
•IP Ranges
•Administrative Contacts
•Problems revealed by administrators
Information Sources
•Search engines
•Forums
•Tools – PING, whois, Traceroute, nslookup,
ENUMERATION & FINGERPRINTING
• Specific targets determined
• Identification of Services / open ports
• Operating System Enumeration
• Methods
• Banner grabbing
• Responses to various protocol (ICMP &TCP) commands
• Port / Service Scans – TCP Connect, TCP SYN, TCP FIN, etc.
• Tools
• Nmap, tcpdump, ssh, telnet
IDENTIFICATION OF
VULNERABILITIES
Vulnerabilities
•Insecure Configuration
•Weak passwords
•Unpatched vulnerabilities in services, Operating systems, applications
•Possible Vulnerabilities in Services, Operating Systems
•Insecure programming
•Weak Access Control
IDENTIFICATION OF
VULNERABILITIES
Methods
•Unpatched / Possible Vulnerabilities – Tools, Vulnerability information
Websites
•Weak Passwords – Default Passwords, Brute force, Social Engineering,
Listening to Traffic
•Insecure Programming – SQL Injection, Listening to Traffic
•Weak Access Control – Using the Application Logic, SQL Injection
ATTACK – EXPLOIT THE
VULNERABILITIES
• Obtain as much information (trophies) from the Target Asset
• Gaining Normal Access
• Escalation of privileges
• Obtaining access to other connected systems
• Last Ditch Effort – Denial of Service
ATTACK – EXPLOIT THE
VULNERABILITIES
• Network Infrastructure Attacks
• Connecting to the network through modem
• Weaknesses in TCP / IP, NetBIOS
• Flooding the network to cause DOS
• Operating System Attacks
• Application Specific Attacks
• Exploiting implementations of HTTP, SMTP protocols
ATTACK – EXPLOIT THE
VULNERABILITIES
• Gaining access to application Databases
• SQL Injection
• Spamming
Exploits
• Free exploits from Hacker Websites
• Customised free exploits
• Internally Developed
• Tools – Nessus, Metasploit Framework
REPORTING
Methodology
•Exploited Conditions & Vulnerabilities that could not
be exploited
•Proof for Exploits - Trophies
•Practical Security solutions
OTHER IMPORTANT TECHNICES
• Social Engineering
• Denial of Service
• Session Hijacking
• SQL Injection
• IDS, Firewalls and Honeypots
OTHER IMPORTANT TECHNICES(CONTINUED…)
• Buffer Overflow
• Cryptography
• Hacking Wireless Networks
• SNIFFING
• Trojan horse
OTHER IMPORTANT TECHNICES(CONTINUED…)
• Viruses and Worms
• Hacking Web Applications
• Hacking Mobile Platforms
