Penetration Testing: RE: Find out the subnetting of a company

["Dieter Sarrazyn" <dsr () ascure com>]

Hi,

You can find lot's of the subnet structure with ping & traceroute scans
already. First, you can use the ping functionality of nmap (nmap -sP)
which should give you information about network and broadcast addresses.
If you found these parts, you already know how the subnetting is done.
With traceroute, you'll find out how these subnets are connected to
eachother.

Of course, if there's a router that has snmp enabled, try to find one of
the community strings & dump the routing table of this router...

Hope this helps.

regards,
Dieter
