Lab 1B-3 DNS Network
Reconnaissance with Linux
Purpose
The purpose of this lab is to determine whether a target machine is available on the Network.
Tools
PING and TRACEROUTE command
Procedures
Type PING and the host IP address. Then type TRACEROUTE and the host IP address.
Results
I recorded minimum, maximum and average return times for my ping
Min/avg/mag = 0.3/0.4/4.8 ms
I also found out that if the servers in the host are listening to ICMP echo requests � it displays the route it takes and if the how is not listening it displays *.
Time
15 min
Reflection
These tools are useful for router and network configuration, troubleshooting.
