Hello everyone. So in this video we are going to
see how you can perform a who is scan
onto your target.
The syntax of doing this scan is nmap the target
IP address followed by hyphen hyphen
script equals to who is IP?
and the domain name that you want to
scan I have
Demonstrated that by writing who is
domain instead of that you just type
your target server address.
So you can scan a Target by simply giving an
IP address and specifying the who is hyphen IP
script. This will identify the information about
the target?
you can always add hyphen V to see the output
in verbose mode and the example is given below remember
who is domain is the target
IP address or the domain name that you want to
scan for example, google.com
So it is the Practical time and let's see how we
can perform who is scan in action.
The terminal I'm going to type the command, which is
nmap.
-script
and then our who is script.
So who is domain?
Followed by the Target that we want to scan. So let's
say github.com because GitHub has a bug
Bounty program and let's try to identify some information
about this particular Target.
As you can see I have added hyphen V which is
the verbose flag because of which I'm able to
see the output onto my terminal whatever is
happening in the background.
As you can see the scan has completed successfully and
we have got couple of output onto
our screen. Let's try to understand this output.
As you can see the domain name is github.com that we
have found out which is correct.
And you can see the registrar name is Mark
monitor.
The name servers are given over here
as you can see they use AWS DNS
which confirms they are on to
AWS, which is Amazon web services
servers.
Let's see some more information.
We can see over here. We are able to identify
the registrar.
name registrar email
when it was successfully purchased as well
as the name server details. That was
AWS.
Like this you can identify the
information about your Target and utilize them
later on for your attack part.
or Recon part
so I hope you guys understood how you can
perform a who is scan.
Thank you.
