Probably it is the first thing a hacker do to get info for researching on a system. Well IP is a unique number assigned to each computer on a network. It is this unique address which represents the system on the network. Generally the IP of a particular system changes each time you log on to the network by dialing to your ISP and it is assigned to you by your ISP. IP of a system which is always on the network remains Generally the same. Generally those kind of systems are most likely to suffer a hacking attack because of its stable IP. Using IP you can even execute system commands on the victim’s computer. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Lets take the example of the following IP address: 202.144.49.110 Now the first part, the numbers before the first decimal i.e. 209 is the Network number or the Network Prefix.. This means that it identifies the number of the network in which the host is. The second part i.e. 144 is the Host Number that is it identifies the number of the host within the Network. This means that in the same Network, the network number is same. In order to provide flexibility in the size of the Network, here are different classes of IP addresses: <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Address Class Dotted Decimal Notation Ranges <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Class A ( /8 Prefixes) 1.xxx.xxx.xxx through 126.xxx.xxx.xxx <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Class B ( /16 Prefixes) 128.0.xxx.xxx through 191.255.xxx.xxx <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Class C ( /24 Prefixes) 192.0.0.xxx through 223.255.255.xxx <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">The various classes will be clearer after reading the next few lines. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Each Class A Network Address contains a 8 bit Network Prefix followed by a 24-bit host number. They are considered to be primitive. They are referred to as “/8”s” or just “8′s” as they have an 8-bit Network prefix. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">In a Class B Network Address there is a 16 bit Network Prefix followed by a 16-bit Host number. It is referred to as “16′s”. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">A class C Network address contains a 24-bit Network Prefix and a 8 bit Host number. It is referred to as <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">“24′s” and is commonly used by most ISP’s. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Due to the growing size of the Internet the Network Administrators faced many problems. The Internet routing tables were beginning to grow and now the administrators had to request another network number from the Internet before a new network could be installed at their site. This is where sub-netting came in. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Now if your ISP is a big one and if it provides you with dynamic IP addresses then you will most probably see that whenever you log on to the net, your IP address will have the same first 24 bits and only the last 8 bits will keep changing. This is due to the fact that when sub-netting comes in then the IP Addresses structure becomes: <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">xxx.xxx.zzz.yyy <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">where the first 2 parts are Network Prefix numbers and the zzz is the Subnet number and the yyy is the host number. So you are always connected to the same Subnet within the same Network. As a result the first 3 parts will remain the same and only the last part i.e. yyy is variable. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">*********************** <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">For Example, if say an ISP xyz is given the IP: 203.98.12.xx Network address then you can be awarded any IP, whose first three fields are 203.98.12. Get it? <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">So, basically this means that each ISP has a particular range in which to allocate all its subscribers. Or in other words, all subscribers or all people connected to the internet using the same ISP, will have to be in this range. This in effect would mean that all people using the same ISP are likely to have the same first three fields of their IP Addresses. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">This means that if you have done a lot of (By this I really mean a lot) of research, then you could figure out which ISP a person is using by simply looking at his IP. The ISP name could then be used to figure out the city and the country of the person. Right? Let me take an example to stress as to how cumbersome but easy (once the research is done) the above method can be. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">In my country, say there are three main ISP’s: <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">ISP Name Network Address Allotted <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">ISP I 203.94.47.xx <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">ISP II 202.92.12.xx <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">ISP III 203.91.35.xx <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Now, if I get to know the IP of an e-pal of mine, and it reads: 203.91.35.12, then I can pretty easily figure out that he uses ISP III to connect to the internet. Right? You might say that any idiot would be able to do this. Well, yes and no. You see, the above method of finding out the ISP of a person was successful only because we already had the ISP and Network Address Allotted list with us. So, what my point is, that the above method can be successful only after a lot of research and experimentation. And, I do think such research can be helpful sometimes. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Also, this would not work, if you take it all on in larger scale. What if the IP that you have belongs to someone living in a remote igloo in the North Pole? You could not possibly get the Network Addresses of all the ISP’s in the world, could you? If yes please send it to me J. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Well now I guess you have pretty good knowledge about what an IP is and what you can do by knowing the IP of a remote system. Now lets come to the point of finding out the IP of remote system. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Well you can easily figure out the IP of a remote system using the netstat utility available in the microsoft’s version of DOS. The netstat command shows the connections in which your system is engaged to and the ports they are using. Suppose you are checking your mail in hotmail and you want to find out the IP of msn. All you need to do is to open a dos window (command.com) and type netstat. You will see all the open connections of your system. There you will see something : <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;

border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Similarly you can figure out the IP address of most http or ftp connections. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">To know your own IP type the following command in a dos windows <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">C:\netstat –n <span style="background-color: white;

When the netstat command is executed without –n switch then the name of the local system is displayed and when the netstat is executed with –n switch then the IP of the local system is displayed. Here you can also find out the port used by the connection. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa:1024 <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">in this format you will see the local address.

In place of yahoo.com you can give the IP of yahoo or any other IP you want to trace, the result will be the same. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Now carefully looking at the results you can figure out many information about yahoo’s server [216.115.108.243] <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">First packets of data leave my ISP which is at 203.94.246.35 .Similarly you can find out the different routers through which the packets of data are send and received to and from the target system. Now take a look at the 13th line you’ll see that the router is in PaloAlto.Teleglobe.net from this you can easily figure out that the router is in Palo Alto. Now finally look at the target system ie. Yahoo’s server vl20.bas1.snv.yahoo.com . Now you got the address of yahoo’s server. Now put this address in any IP lookup programe and perform and reverse DNS lookup and you will get most of the info about this address,like the place where it is in. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Well another thing you can find out using the tracert tool is that the number of hops (routers) the target system is away from you. In case of tracerouting yahoo.com we find that the target system ie yahoo’s server is 16 hops away from my system. This indicates that there are 16 routers between my system and yahoo’s server. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Apart from tracing an IP you can find out many usefull details about the target system using the tracert tool. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Firewall Detection <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">While tracerouting a target system, if you get * as an output then it indicates timeout error. Now if you peform another tracerout to the same taeget system at some other time with a good connection and in this way few times more and if you always get * as the output then take it for sure that the target system is running a firewall which prevents sending of data packets from the target system. <span style="background-color: white;

This indicates that the systems after the router SanJose1.Level3.net has firewalls installed which prevents the outgoing of data packets. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Detecting Traceroute Attempts on your System <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">You can detect that an attacker is performing a traceroute on your system, if you see the following symptoms: <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">1. If you observe port scans on very high UDP ports. This symptom means that the attacker has performed a traceroute on your system. However, it could also mean a simply port scan. Either way, it signifies the fact that your system is being scanned. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">2. If the packet-monitoring tool installed in your network, picks up several outgoing TTL-exceeding messages, then it is yet another sign that someone is doing a traceroute on your system. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">3. If in these log files, you also observer an outgoing ICMP port unreachable error message, then it means that since a traceroute was done on your system and as the target system i.e. your system, was reached, it responded with this error message. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">You can also find our more information on the attacker (if he performs a traceroute on your system) by simply studying the sniffer log files. If you observer the TTL values, then we can easily figure out the following information on the attacker by making use of OS detection techniques discussed earlier in this white paper: <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">The Operating System running on the attacker’s target system. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Number of hops away, the attacker is from you. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">OKI DOKI that’s all for this article. Hope you will find this article very easy to understand and implement. </div>
