Re: Tool for sending malicious traffic to destination system

Hey Ravi,

Hope you got the basic idea, you need a tool like
scapy for packet crafting attacks, you can't do much
with nmap for packet crafting, even though you're
mentioning a new word now... to spoof with nmap is
possible using the -S option. Basically stop using
automated tools like Nessus for a penetration test.

Nessus is recommended if you're on a pen-test with
considerable amount of machines. I've seen a lot of
people misconcept and use nessus in web-pen tests will
all options enabled (SQL injection checks and other
relevant checks are enough)

If you want to check what device is sitting in between
you and the target, do some network device testing
using tools like yersinia or fragroute. You can
ofcourse use scapy very well, provided you know some
python scripting.

There's a considerable amount of things that must be
in place to get things right. For now I'll conclude
saying that "don't use nessus" for one host or two
hosts and use other tools like amap,nmap and firewalk
in conjunction with nessus or use them inside nessus
(results or just the tool itself).

There's a book on Nessus called Nessus Network
Auditing, from Syngress while you can alternately read
their documentation. If your goal is to spoof, just
spoof don't scan with Nessus or Nmap.

If you're in doubt, refer to the nmap documentation
here about Firewall / IDS evasion.

Cheers :)
