Brute force backdoor checking
Hi all,
I have been looking for software / hardware that can accomplish following tasks: A. software/hardware that can be used for running brute force / dictionary attack against network ports running on a system. B. hardware that can be used for running low level tests against network ports. Both of these would be used for checking a system for possible backdoors. Alternative A should be able to test a network port pretty much the same way as a brute force pen testing tool would do with a software application. It should be able to send character snippets of varying lengths to selected network port or ports and be able to react to a response. Alternative B should be able to test a network port for reactions to low level signals and voltage differences. Does anyone know if this type of hardware/software exists commercially? Also pointers to any information such as books dealing with this type of testing would be appreciated. thanks JJ |

No they wouldn't, there is no need to try to brute force a dictionary attack against an openly receiving port/software. Merely finding one is enough without getting through it. There is no need for low level hardware tests either, if a port is open it has to work through the OS and that is not a "low level" hardware factor. |

Merely finding one is enough without getting through it. There is no need for low level hardware tests either, if a port is open it has to work through the OS and that is not a "low level" hardware factor. Right, if a software is listening on a port, it can of course be communicated with. But my question pertains to two other factors: Alternative A is related to the fact that a software listening on a specific port could have a mechanism that opens a reverse shell if a packet X with a value Y is fed to the port. What I am looking for is a tool that can vary the values sent to the port and check for a reaction. Alternative B is related to the fact that the firmware on a NIC (or its drivers, O/S network stack, a combination of these) could react to small changes in the electric signal on the network. What I am looking for here is a tool that can vary the electric signal and also monitor the signal from the card (eg if a reverse shell is opened, the card starts sending data and at this point there is fluctuation in the voltage level). |
