Phase 2: Identification of the accessible servers and services
To identify the accessible IT systems within the network range, a ping scan was performed with nmap, which found two active IT systems:
Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-01-15 14:36 CET
Nmap scan report for 10.222.1.33
Host is up (0.035s latency).
Nmap scan report for 10.222.1.38
Host is up (0.12s latency).
Nmap done: 8 IP addresses (2 hosts up) scanned in 2.35 seconds
A subsequent port scan with version detection showed both a DNS server at 10.222.1.33 and a web server at 10.222.1.38. To learn more about the IT infrastructure of Oblivius Education Inc., several DNS queries were sent to 10.222.1.33. A zone transfer for the oblivius-education.com domain proved successful, allowing the following information to be collected via the network:
ns01.oblivius-education.com (10.222.1.33)
The IT system represented the authoritative name server of the oblivius-education.com domain. Through its version number “9.9.5-9 + deb8u11-Debian“, Debian was revealed as the used operating system.
shop.oblivius-education.com (10.222.1.37)
The IT system did not respond to ICMP requests nor could services be identified on the TCP and UDP ports. It seemed like a webshop for mobile applications was being planned, for which this domain name was registered.
blog.oblivius-education.com (10.222.1.38)
The contained web server runs Apache. The domain name suggested the presence of an Oblivius Education blog.
