AW: Using TTL to Locate Hosts

Subject: AW: Using TTL to Locate Hosts
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 08:25:44 +0200
Hi Chris,

Look into a technique called firewalking. There you use ttl to find out how far 
behind a firewall or other packet filter a host has been placed.

There is a nice tutorial about writing a firewalk script in just a few lines 
with scapy - google firewalk + scapy to find it. That should get you started 
well enough that you can modify the tool for your own purposes.

Cheers,

Chris

Betreff: Using TTL to Locate Hosts


Hello everyone, I had an interesting question posed to me earlier. The
question was "Could you use only the TTL of a packet to locate hosts and
verify they are up?" I know playing around with Tracert this could be
possible, or a crafted packet using HPING. Any other ideas or thoughts?
 
Thanks!
Chris
