Let's do a quick overview of this
course and some of the things that
you should be familiar with before
starting.
Theodore, the creator of Unmap,
published a book a while back on
Unmap, many of the chapters
were available on the Map website
a couple of weeks ago.
I got an email from him saying that
the entire book is now available
on the site for free with recent
updates.
This course will generally follow
the outline of the book will
be performing a lot of different
scans from the command line and the
Zen map.
These will work from almost any
computer.
You're in module one now, which is
the course introduction.
Module two will cover and map
basics, including installing and
removing and map running scans
from the command line and an intro
to the Zen map. GUI
Module three will go over the DCPI
B Protocol Suite will look
at TCP, UDP and
ICMP headers and how
and map Krafts IP packets
to solicit informed responses
will then examine these packets and
wireshark.
Then we'll discuss and MAP and IPV
six
in Module four will perform some
of the most popular scans that
people use and map for
host discovery, port scanning
service and application version
detection and OS detection
and fingerprinting.
We'll finish that module by
performing at least one
vulnerability assessment and
penetration test using only and
map.
It would help you a lot if you meet
at least two of these three
prerequisites.
That doesn't mean that you won't be
able to follow along and learn a ton
of useful things. If you don't,
though, understanding
how TCP IP works, including
addressing topics like subsetting
insider notation, would be helpful.
Also, understanding the difference
between TCP and UDP and
common ports used by both to
communicate would be good.
If you have three to five years
of experience in the technical
services role in it, you
almost certainly will have gained
enough knowledge to breeze through
this course.
The computer network plus
and security plus both cover
everything you need to know to get a
lot out of this course.
I've included the Cisco Susanna
here because it goes above and
beyond what you need to know about
how TCP IP functions on a
LAN and over wind connections
and the Internet.
In this lesson, we've talked about
what you'll learn in this course,
and we've gone over the stuff you
need to know to get the most out of
it.
Now, let's get started with
installing and map and running some
scans.
