And today's lecture and the next few lectures, we're going to talk about pivoting, we're going to
assume that our target is this Mehta's floatable device.
Now, each one of these circles, the big circles we're going to assume is a network.
And as you can see, the Mehta's floatable device is not visible by the hacker.
So the hacker cannot see this device.
This device is hidden either behind the network or for some other reason.
The hacker is not able to ping or access the IP address of this device.
So we're assuming in our example that it exists in a different internal network.
So we can see that this big network has four devices and has demitasse floatable device and has an iPhone
and other device and the Windows device, which we have, and we can see that it's in.
Right.
And the hacker exists and this smaller network and there is only two devices, there is the hacker and
the red device, the Windows 10 device, which we hacked.
So the targets of pivoting is we use the device that we hacked, the common device in the middle to
compromise other devices that only this device has access to.
So our target, the hacker cannot see the target, which is the MLO device.
But the device that we just hacked, the Windows device, can see that device because they're in the
same network.
So in our next videos, we're going to try to hack into the meta exploitable device while the US floatable
device is not going to be visible to the hacker, which is the device.
The only way to access Demitasse Floatable is through the Windows device, which we are going to use
as a pivot in order to hack this device right there.
Now, to replicate this network layout will need to modify the network settings of the virtual machines
in our lab.
So I have VMware running here already and I'm going to zoom in.
And first of all, I just want to show you the network settings for Caleigh.
So I'm going to click on edit settings.
And if we click on network, you'll notice that it is connected to another network.
This is the option that we've been using throughout the course and I'm actually going to keep it the
same, because Carly is the machine that we used to hack into other computers.
It's going to be connected to the network and we're going to use it to gain our initial access to the
Windows machine.
So let's go ahead and have a look on the Windows machine.
So I'm going to click it here and I'm going to click on IT settings and we're going to go to network
and if we zoom in, you'll see that this is connected to another network.
We need this because, as I said, we're going to use the machine to hack into this machine to gain
our initial access.
But if we go back to the layout, you'll notice that the Windows machine is going to be the machine
that we're going to use as a pivot to hack into the other network.
So it's going to be the link between the two networks, the network that is connected to and an unreachable
network to Tiscali that we actually want to hack through Karlee.
Therefore, because this is supposed to be a pivot and as we can see in this layout, it needs to be
connected to two networks.
So right now, it's already connected to the network in here, as we can see, which is the same network
that is connected to.
And we need this to gain our initial access.
But we're also going to click on the add in here.
And we're going to add another network adapter for this computer so that it has two network adapters
so that we can connect it to two networks and we're going to set this network settings to Bridgid instead
of not.
So now Windows has to network adapters adapter one is connected to another network, which is the same
network that is connected to so that we can gain initial access to it.
And then it's also connected to another network that Caylee cannot see.
It's an unreachable network, Tiscali.
And thus the goal of this scenario is the goal of this module to try to reach this unreachable network
and this second network, we said to use a brisk connection.
So we're happy with this.
We're going to click on OK and we're going to go to the meet exploitable computer and we're actually
going to set this computer to also be connected to the same bridge network that the Windows machine
is connected to.
So this way, this myth exploitable machine is unreachable to Cali because it's connected to a completely
different network than Caylee.
Therefore, Caylee cannot directly communicate with it and cannot hack it, even if it's vulnerable.
Therefore, we're going to have to hack into the Windows machine and use the Windows machine as a pivot,
because it is the link between the two computers, between the two networks to hack into this unreachable
network or into this unreachable computer.
So I'm going to zoom out and I'm going to click on OK, and we are done now.
So let's go back to the network layout with labels now.
And as you can see now, we have both Karley and Windows are connected to the network and therefore
they can communicate with each other.
Like I said, we are going to gain our initial access through this Windows network and then we're going
to set up pivoting rules so we can use the Windows machine to access the unreachable meters portable
machine.
On the other hand, we have the meter exploitable machine, its network settings set to Bridgid, so
it's unreachable to Tiscali, but it's reachable through the Windows machine because we configure the
Windows machine to have two adapters, one of them connected to the same network as Charlie and the
other connected to the same network as meta exploitable.
And therefore, if somebody wants to hack into Mutasa Floatable, they'll have to hack into Karley and
use it as a pivot to access this unreachable network.
And that's what we're going to do in the next lecture.
