Penetration Testing: nmap Host Discovery Whitepaper

["Mark Wolfgang" <moonpie () moonpie org>]

Greetings!  I've written a whitepaper that explores some methods for host 
discovery, paying the most attention to discovering hosts behind a firewall 
with an explicit policy. It probably won't be terribly valueable to the 
seasoned pen tester, but I think it lays out the basics and should give you 
some ideas. I also wrote a perl script that implements the ideas presented. 

You can find the whitepaper at http://moonpie.org/writings/discovery.pdf and 
the perl script at http://moonpie.org/tools/discover.tgz 

I'm interested in hearing your comments :) 


Best Regards, 

- Mark
