Network 101

Purpose

Configure and test common network services (HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, SMB) for penetration testing lab environments. Enable hands-on practice with service enumeration, log analysis, and security testing against properly configured target systems.

Inputs/Prerequisites

  • Windows Server or Linux system for hosting services
  • Kali Linux or similar for testing
  • Administrative access to target system
  • Basic networking knowledge (IP addressing, ports)
  • Firewall access for port configuration

Outputs/Deliverables

  • Configured HTTP/HTTPS web server
  • SNMP service with accessible communities
  • SMB file shares with various permission levels
  • Captured logs for analysis
  • Documented enumeration results

Core Workflow

1. Configure HTTP Server (Port 80)

Set up a basic HTTP web server for testing:

Windows IIS Setup:

  1. Open IIS Manager (Internet Information Services)
  2. Right-click Sites → Add Website
  3. Configure site name and physical path
  4. Bind to IP address and port 80

Linux Apache Setup:

# Install Apache
sudo apt update && sudo apt install apache2

# Start service
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2

# Create test page
echo "<html><body><h1>Test Page</h1></body></html>" | sudo tee /var/www/html/index.html

# Verify service
curl http://localhost

Configure Firewall for HTTP:

# Linux (UFW)
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp

# Windows PowerShell
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "HTTP" -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 80 -Action Allow

2. Configure HTTPS Server (Port 443)

Set up secure HTTPS with SSL/TLS:

Generate Self-Signed Certificate:

# Linux - Generate certificate
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 \
  -keyout /etc/ssl/private/apache-selfsigned.key \
  -out /etc/ssl/certs/apache-selfsigned.crt

# Enable SSL module
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Configure Apache for HTTPS:

# Edit SSL virtual host
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

# Enable site
sudo a2ensite default-ssl
sudo systemctl reload apache2

Verify HTTPS Setup:

# Check port 443 is open
nmap -p 443 192.168.1.1

# Test SSL connection
openssl s_client -connect 192.168.1.1:443

# Check certificate
curl -kv https://192.168.1.1

3. Configure SNMP Service (Port 161)

Set up SNMP for enumeration practice:

Linux SNMP Setup:

# Install SNMP daemon
sudo apt install snmpd snmp

# Configure community strings
sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

# Add these lines:
# rocommunity public
# rwcommunity private

# Restart service
sudo systemctl restart snmpd

Windows SNMP Setup:

  1. Open Server Manager → Add Features
  2. Select SNMP Service
  3. Configure community strings in Services → SNMP Service → Properties

SNMP Enumeration Commands:

# Basic SNMP walk
snmpwalk -c public -v1 192.168.1.1

# Enumerate system info
snmpwalk -c public -v1 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1

# Get running processes
snmpwalk -c public -v1 192.168.1.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2

# SNMP check tool
snmp-check 192.168.1.1 -c public

# Brute force community strings
onesixtyone -c /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/SNMP/common-snmp-community-strings.txt 192.168.1.1

4. Configure SMB Service (Port 445)

Set up SMB file shares for enumeration:

Windows SMB Share:

  1. Create folder to share
  2. Right-click → Properties → Sharing → Advanced Sharing
  3. Enable sharing and set permissions
  4. Configure NTFS permissions

Linux Samba Setup:

# Install Samba
sudo apt install samba

# Create share directory
sudo mkdir -p /srv/samba/share
sudo chmod 777 /srv/samba/share

# Configure Samba
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

# Add share:
# [public]
#    path = /srv/samba/share
#    browsable = yes
#    guest ok = yes
#    read only = no

# Restart service
sudo systemctl restart smbd

SMB Enumeration Commands:

# List shares anonymously
smbclient -L //192.168.1.1 -N

# Connect to share
smbclient //192.168.1.1/share -N

# Enumerate with smbmap
smbmap -H 192.168.1.1

# Full enumeration
enum4linux -a 192.168.1.1

# Check for vulnerabilities
nmap --script smb-vuln* 192.168.1.1

5. Analyze Service Logs

Review logs for security analysis:

HTTP/HTTPS Logs:

# Apache access log
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log

# Apache error log
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Windows IIS logs
# Location: C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\

Parse Log for Credentials:

# Search for POST requests
grep "POST" /var/log/apache2/access.log

# Extract user agents
awk '{print $12}' /var/log/apache2/access.log | sort | uniq -c
