1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:09,310
A special file on your system called the hosts file also performs a domain name, IP address translation.

2
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:19,090
The hosts file located, uh, at the uh, here, uh, Kent ATC hosts here.

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,190
Uh, so.

4
00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:30,500
And kind of, as we see in this, you can use it to specify your own IP address, domain name mapping.

5
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:37,710
In other words, you can determine which IP address your browser goes to when you enter double, double,

6
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:46,200
double the micro Microsoft dot com or any other domain into the browser, rather than to let the DNS

7
00:00:46,410 --> 00:00:50,020
server decide here as a hacker.

8
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,930
This can be useful for hijacking.

9
00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:58,330
Anticipate connection in your local area network to direct traffic to a malicious web server with the

10
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,840
tools such as DNS pull for years.

11
00:01:03,930 --> 00:01:09,960
Uh, which we will use these tools later or in this lecture course, actually.

12
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:14,070
So you will learn all about these tools as well.

13
00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:24,000
So from the command line type the mouse pad here and HTC hosts.

14
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:31,530
Uh, actually, as you can see, this is the Read-Only, and I will change it, I will use Sudo.

15
00:01:33,050 --> 00:01:38,090
And tie up my passport, Kelly, Passport Daniels, you kind of see here.

16
00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:48,280
Uh, we put on file and we can edit or file now, so by default, the host file contains all the mapping

17
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:58,870
for your localhost, uh, at one hundred twenty seven point zero point zero point one and your system's

18
00:01:59,050 --> 00:02:08,380
hostname in this case, Carly and one hundred twenty seven point zero point one point one.

19
00:02:09,010 --> 00:02:17,560
But you can add any IP address mapped to any domain you need, like as an example for, uh, of how

20
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,640
this might be used.

21
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:28,840
Uh, you could map here, uh, for example, Bank of America dot com, uh, to your local website,

22
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,640
for example.

23
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:31,890
It's, uh, this is just an example.

24
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:33,100
I will not do anything.

25
00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:42,900
So, for example, uh, one hundred twenty eight point zero point zero point one.

26
00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:51,300
And uh, for example, let's do a double double double that and all in America.

27
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,040
That's come here, and now let's open up a browser here.

28
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:02,940
And then of America.

29
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,500
As you can see, we are getting the same result as we did in Umm.

30
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:16,440
As we did in.

31
00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:20,300
Local steel, for example.

32
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,080
Yes.

33
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:30,260
As you can see here, we're getting the same result here, but if we delete this bank here.

34
00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:33,140
It's.

35
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:36,770
And save this.

36
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:39,450
Here.

37
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:48,240
This will work here, as you can see here we are getting the official website of it.

38
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:49,740
So.

39
00:03:51,380 --> 00:03:55,570
I just changed out in this and in.

40
00:03:57,090 --> 00:04:04,350
Our killing machine, so it will work only in my, uh, operating system.

41
00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:06,420
So.

42
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:16,060
Make certain you a tab between the IP address and the domain name, not the spacebar here.

43
00:04:16,450 --> 00:04:22,780
So as you can get more involved in your hacking endeavors and learn about who's linked in this file

44
00:04:22,780 --> 00:04:30,970
and ED cap, you will be able to use host file to direct any traffic on your LAN that visits to, for

45
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:40,810
example, Bing, Google Dot Com or Bank of America dot com near to your web server at localhost or just

46
00:04:40,810 --> 00:04:45,670
a LAN web server that you can created for phishing.

47
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:48,210
So it's pretty easy, right?

48
00:04:48,630 --> 00:04:55,440
So any hacker needs some basic Linux networking skills to connect, analyze and manage your networks

49
00:04:55,890 --> 00:05:02,460
as you progress, these skills will become more and more useful for doing recon stand spoofing and connecting

50
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:04,110
to target systems.
