The PDA of tungsten

Continuing with this series of posts on how to turn our Palm into a tool of hacking, today we will see like, once our Palm is within the network, we have all the tools necessary to explore it:

• Mergic Ping is an implementation for Palm OS of the commando Ping de UNIX (ICMP echo). It can be used jointly with Mergic VPN to verify our connectivity with the virtual private network or, generally, with any equipment of the network.
• After giving a name of host or direction him IP to analyze, PalmPing will prove different services (for example the echo), detecting if the same exist in the equipment under test. Also it provides network statistics, using the requests of native statistics of PalmOS.

Verifying that an equipment is connected to the network

• A tool as Traceroute we cannot need, if we want to use the Palm to analyze incidences in our network. Traceroute consists of discovering the equipment that a package crosses in its way between our PDA and the equipment destiny of the same.
• Like client of WHOIS, a service that allows to obtain data on Internet dominions (like proprietor or email of contact), we can use vWhois. Another gratito program with the same purpose is WHOIS.
• In order to by hand have all these small utilities of network easily, we can install CheckWWW, a tool that Integra WHOIS, Ping, Traceroute, NS Lookup and Finger.

Obtaining data of a dominion

• PScan is another fundamental tool, in this case a scanner of ports for PalmOS. The last version is functional, and its code is free.
• PalmMap is another scanner of ports, in this case trying of being similar to famous nmap. It is necessary to compile it from his source code.

Escanenado the ports of an equipment of the network

• PortScanner is another scanner of ports for networks TCP/IP. Escáneres of ports allows to know what ports are open in a given equipment their IP or names of host. Wifi is useful for example in networks, to know what services are available in hotspot.
• PingAlink is a service of external monitoring for Web servers and other equipment of network. Constantly the yield of our servant or equipment monitors.
• A similar tool is also HTTP ServerWatch, which compiles information on the response time of our servants, among others.
• Something that has surprised to me to find, and that would wish that you tried in your Palm to see if it is certain, it is that PalmOS brings integrated network tools (info, to finger, nettrace, and ping), but are only accessible through a Passover egg. Info shows information on the active connection, Finger is used to find users in host remote, nettrace allows to prove the connection to host remote and Ping as we know serves to prove the connectivity. In order to find we must them go to “Preferences”, to enter “Network”, the menu “Options” to choose the element “To see Logs”, once open write in graffitti one”? “and to beat to accept: she will appear one lists with the tools of network available.
• Cgicheck99 is one of carried escáneres cgi more, running in a total of 37 operating systems, including PalmOS. It detects 119 CGIs habitual and other details. It even reports vulnerabilities with his YOU GO Bugtraq. Rebol interpreter needs.
• Of Hydra already we have spoken like utility to discover passwords, but this so complete program also has capacity in this category.
• In order to sail by the information that the IANA publishes, we have iDomains (to the level dominions superior) and iServices (to know to the ports and protocols that uses the services of network).
• In order to avoid that our Palm goes out while we are connected to the network, the small Powernet utility exists. Thus we will not become disconnected of the servants to leave the unheeded Palm during minutes. If what we want to deactivate the temporisation of dull of the Palm of definitive way, we can use AlwaysOn.

Increasing the time of car-dull of the PDA

As we see, a considerable list of utilities, that demonstrates the interest to use the Palm like tools of hacking and networking. In next post we will follow with this series of articles.
