I'm missing something? Or do I have brain damage, or something... I'm still having issues with the assignments, I haven't gotten past the ping sweep! Sean, if you can give me that run through again? And checking one more time, in case I'm confused...these are done on the virtual environment, yes? Man, I am feeling a bit stupid here, but I'm not going to move along faster if I don't ask for help, so I am. I'm flailing. I keep getting this error, so I'm sure I'm messing up the IP range, syntax, SOMETHING.
Thanks. :/
"no such file or directory" ARRRGH
ReplyDeleterob here
ReplyDeletethe directory doesnt exist either create it or run the pick a new location.
instead of >/root/ceh/ps1
just do >nmapresults1.txt
then ls to view current directory
nano nmapresults1.txt
great, I'm off to work, so I'll try that in the wee hours when I get home! This is driving me entirely crazy. If I have anymore questions I'll post here. Or if you have email and you are at all willing to let me bother you, I'd appreciate it. I appreciate the help very much...thanks, Rob.
ReplyDeleteRob is right.
ReplyDeleteFor each of these there are two commands.
The first command has you get the data through nmap. Running it alone would just have the data print out on your screen, but when we add the ">" character at the end of it, it allows us to save the output as a file. So if you're in the default folder, when you put "> ps1" (without the quotes) at the end of it, that will save the output of the nmap command in a file in your current folder called ps1.
The second command they want you to do is to read the information gathered from the previous command. The command they gave you has "/root/ceh/ps1" in it, but because we saved the file in our current folder, we don't need the "/root/ceh/ps1" portion. By default, when we run the following command it will look in our current directory, which is good. Anyway, the command you'll then want to run is:
"nano ps1" without the quotations. That will open the file in the nano text editor, and allow you to scroll around and read the info. Once you're done with it, to exit out of nano you'll want to hit Ctrl + x.
When you move on to further exercises, you'll want to replace ps1 in both commands with something else, such as udp1 for the udp command, etc.
I'm sorry if this is doesn't make complete sense or isn't cohesive, I just got out of my first shift of work in a few weeks so I'm exhausted! If you have any problems you can write them here or email me @ sbenson09@gmail.com haha!
Yup, question, I'm emailing you !
ReplyDeleteSean, sent you a screen shot via email and a question about the IP range...
ReplyDeleteRob, ok, that worked (no more such error) BUT all the results are "host down" and I don't think that should be the result.
Thanks for the help guys.
I also received host down (on some) as I was working through all the Projects last night.
ReplyDeleteTake your screen shots as proof!
ReplyDeletewhen you scanning a range of ip addresses
ReplyDeleteyou cant expect a device on every possible ip address.
host down means there is nothing there.
Rob/Anon - this time I did not have ALL hosts down...the first time I did. But I figured that error out now.
ReplyDeleteOrlando - oh, I'm taking screenshots, no worries! Tonight I had 2 that were no down...the rest were, but that's better than all hosts down.
Sean and Rob...thanks, the help is finally clicking. I do my homework at 4-7am on weekend nights and sometimes I am really just too brain dead - from fri afternoon until monday morning I work 2 jobs, so I get pretty effin braindead and at times my brainmeats are non-cooperative. The help is appreciated!
I just want to applaud the teamwork and problem solving going on here. You guys are great! Keep up the good work!!!
