i was reading this article: http://www.livepublishing.co.uk/pcex...g.shtml?page=1
and it doesnt really make sense to me. particularly the parts like this:
Let's port scan Victim Corp’s network using ScanPort, (www.dataset.fr/eng/scanport.html) which is a simple port scanner that allows you to specify a range of machines to scan. From the results, we can see that port 25 is open on machine 192.168.1.8, which ScanPort suggests is probably the company’s email server.
isnt it impossible to do a port scan to that ip and actually get a computer inside their network? it also says some stuff about finding the network's range of ip addresses using traceroute, which i dont think would work either... is this just a poorly written guide or what?
