Project 8 - Decoy Scan

Decoy Scan Using nmap

Exercise 1: in this exercise, you’ll use nmap to perform a decoy scan, which mixes
your IP address with bogus IP addresses (using the -D option):

1. From a BackTrack shell, type the following (only type what's in bold, on one line):
user1@pentest:~#nmap -n -D192.168.1.5,10.5.1.2,me,172.1.2.4 target_IP_address > /root/ceh/decoy_scan

Syntax breakdown:
nmap: program name
-n: program option to never resolve DNS names
-D192.168.1.5,10.5.1.2,me,172.1.2.4: program option to cloak your scan with the supplied bogus and real IP addresses target_IP_address: the IP address of the target system
> /root/ceh/decoy_scan: redirect the output to a file called decoy_scan in the /root/ceh directory

2. Examine your results:
user1@pentest:~#cat /root/ceh/decoy_scan | less


3.  Email your results to proflheureux@gmail.com.
