+ Hi dear reader, there are very few technical network security assessment checklist. So I thought to share my own on this. Have a look and enjoy. Lets talk about the scope first. If you are given a 1000 machines to perform VAPT, then here is your scope. Single machine can have 65535 ports open. Any single port can deploy any service software from the world. For example FTP can be run on smartftp, pureftpd etc.. Any single FTP software version (for example pureftpd 1.0.22) can have number of vulnerabilities available. So if you multiply all of these, then it is impossible for any auditor to go ahead and probe all ports manually and find services manually. Even if he/she is able to do it, it is impossible to check all vulnerabilities that are pertaining to a single port of a single machine. Hence we have to rely on scanners such as nexpose, nessus, openvas, coreimpact etc. Here are some quick tools and test cases that one can perform on commonly found ports in the network pentest.
+
+
+#         Identify live hosts
+o   Ping
+o   Hping
+o   Nmap
+#         Identify OS type
+o   Nmap
+o   Xprobe2
+o   Banner grabbing using telnet, nc (netcat)
+#         Port scan
+#   Nmap full SYN scan with verbose mode and service detection and disabling ping scan. Export normal and greppable output for future use.
+      nmap -Pn -p- -sV X.X.X.X -v -sS -oG nmap_grepable_SYN -oN nmap_normal_SYN
+#   Nmap top 1000 UDP scan with verbose mode and service detection and disabling ping scan. Export normal and greppable output for future use.
+      nmap -Pn -top-ports=1000 -sV X.X.X.X -v -sS -oG nmap_grepable_UDP -oN nmap_normal_UDP
+#         VA (Vulnerability Assessment)
+#   Use nessus with below profile
+#  DoS disabled
+#  Web scan enabled
+#  SSL scan on every ports instead of known ports
+#  Enable TCP and UDP scan
+#  Only give open ports’ list in the configuration that were found by nmap including TCP and UDP rather than full ports in order to save time particularly number of IPs are more and less time for audit and report.
+o   Use Nexpose
+o   Use OpenVAS
+o   Use nmap scanner on specific open ports using below command.
+#  For example port 22 (SSH) is open and you want to run all scripts pertaining to SSH then use below command:
+Nmap -Pn -sS -p22 --script ssh* -v
+In case if you are not sure about exact script name you can use * in order to run all scripts that starts with the ‘ssh’ keyword.
+#         Audit SSL
+#   Use openssl, sslyze tools to find below issues within SSL.
+#  Self-signed certificate
+#  SSL version 2 and 3 detection
+#  Weak hashing algorithm
+#  Use of RC4 and CBC ciphers
+#  Logjam issue
+#  Sweet32 issue
+#  Certificate expiry
+#  Openssl ChangeCipherSec issue
+#  POODLE vulnerability
+#  Openssl heartbleed issue
+·         Check for default passwords in server/device/service documentation
+o   Lets say during your port scan or VA you found some services running on the server for example: cisco, brocad fabric OS, sonicwall firewall, apache tomcat manager. Then for these services Google what are the default configuration administrative username and password. Try those in your login and check your luck.
