In this small section, we're going to cover how we can use and map in our advantage to be able to bypass
some of the security measures that the target might have, such as firewalls and IEDs.
These options that we will use in a map can be considered advanced.
So don't worry if you don't fully understand everything that we talked about in next few videos, just
make sure that in case there is something that you didn't understand, what should we do a few times?
And you will get it.
But wait, Alexa, I don't even know what fireball or IEDs is.
So what are they?
Well, Farwell is a network security system that monitors network traffic, and it is based on the security
rules that are predetermined.
There are two types of phorbols, network formals and host based firewall's network phorbols filter
traffic between two or more networks, while host based firewalls only filter traffic that is going
in or out from that specific machine.
And what the it is, is intrusion detection system.
It is usually a software application that monitors network for any malicious activity.
For example, some of the map scans that we did in the previous section can get caught by intrusion
detection system.
So in this section, we will check out a few options that could help us bypass that.
All in all, firewall and IDs helps us secure our network or machine.
In the previous section where we covered the basics, we used our Linux machine and we scanned our political
target.
We scanned different ports.
And with the scans that we did, we managed to figure out what ports are open and what ports are closed.
But some of our targets might host services on ports hiding behind the firewall.
And once we scan them, it will tell us those ports are filtered, which we know that it means, and
MAP can figure out whether that port is open or closed.
What this means is that we're sending packets to the target, but their firewall keeps dropping those
packets.
And in this section we're going to see what and options can help us in bypassing this.
Let's get straight into it.
