![]() For example, if your computer detects that World Wide Web traffic is coming in, it routes that traffic to the correct port so that your web browser can use it. Basically, if a program on your computer uses the network, it has to go through a port. Some ports on a computer listen to World Wide Web traffic, while others listen for email, or IM, or FTP, and so on. In the same way that a large office building used to have hundreds of operators, your computer has thousands of ports. The operator says, "Hello, who is it and who do you want?" When the operator gets that info, he can route the call appropriately. The operator sits waiting, and then the phone rings. Think of a port like an old-fashioned telephone operator waiting to respond to a phone call & connect you to someone. Now let's find out what ports are open & responding on the computers on your network. My Mac OS X machine, for instance, has a built-in firewall that hid it from this particular Nmap command, so 192.168.0.6 didn't show up (which is a good thing). Nmap run completed-256 IP addresses (7 hosts up) scanned in 3.626 seconds Host 192.168.0.255 seems to be a subnet broadcast address (returned 2 extra pings). MAC Address: 00: C0:4F: A1:27: BF (Dell Computer) Host 192.168.0.0 seems to be a subnet broadcast address (returned 2 extra pings). In my case, I had this list: Starting nmap 3.75 () at 14:28 EDT In a few seconds, Nmap will tell you all the other machines that are on your network. Duplicate that "formula," but substitute your Internet Gateway address, so that you might instead use this command: nmap -sP -PI -PT 192.168.1.1/24 Notice that the final part of the line is my Internet Gateway address, followed by a forward slash, and then the number 24. Remember your Internet Gateway address? Mine was 192.168.0.1. At the top it will list all of the various options for Nmap. Go to K menu > Auditor > Scanning > Network Scanner > Nmap (Network scanner).Ī command line window should open. My Internet Gateway address is still 192.168.0.1, the same as when I was running Windows. It should inform you that you now have an IP address. Go to K menu > Settings > Netconfig (Network card config). Once Auditor is up and running, let's first make sure you're online. Your PC should recognize the CD & boot with it. ![]() Insert Auditor into your CD-ROM & reboot your computer. Write down these numbers on a piece of paper. ![]() In that case, your Internet Gateway address is probably 192.168.1.1. ![]() Oftentimes you might see that your IP address is 192.168.1.100-note the 1 in the 3rd place instead of 0. Also note your Default Gateway mine is 192.168.0.1. Note the IP Address line mine is 192.168.0.8. Somewhere in the results you should see something that looks like this: Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: When the Command Prompt opens, enter this command & press Enter: ipconfig If you're using an earlier version of Windows, go to Start > Program Files > Command Prompt.If you're using Windows 2000, go to Start > Program Files > Accessories > Command Prompt.If you're using Windows XP, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
