In an age where the digital landscape permeates every aspect of our lives, understanding how computer networks work remains extremely important. Ethernet, the dominant technology in local area networks (LANs), lies at the heart of our connected world, facilitating the transfer of data packets with extraordinary efficiency.
Since its inception in the early 1970s, Ethernet has become the dominant networking standard. Even the rapid development of 802.11 wireless networks has not limited the use of physical Ethernet to ensure speed and reliability.
This book serves as a gateway to discovering Ethernet and delving into the realm of packet sniffing and manipulation.
Whether you're an aspiring network engineer, a cybersecurity enthusiast, or an experienced penetration tester, this book will give you a comprehensive foundation on which to build.
Along the way, you'll find over thirty-five exercises to reinforce your knowledge, as well as three in-depth DuckyScript™, Bash, and Python projects to test your skills.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
- You will learn the basic elements of a computer network, including IP addresses, ranges and network segmentation.
- You will understand the concepts of routing, bridging, network forwarding and network isolation.
- You will learn techniques for capturing Ethernet networks. You will discover the principles of payload design as well as the development process using DuckyScript™, Bash and Python scripting languages.
- You will gain a thorough understanding of payload scripts; flow control, loops, network modes, conditions, functions, redirections and more.
