Monitor your network

newbiesparadise@newbiesparadise.com (GonGon) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:10:19 +0100

This is going to be a very short tutorial only one part plus a quiz, as it is not so much to do really only two lines per monitor type

There are three types:

Ettercap
Driftnet
URLsnarf

We are only going to go through Driftnet and URLsnarf, why? Ettercap retrieves usernames and their corresponding passwords and that woul'nt look good so we will skip that.

Going further with variables

This how-to is a translation of vyk12's french one. Since its author put the license, i don't need to ask him for permission, but all the credits should be delivered to him.

Register globals and data overwriting

newbiesparadise@newbiesparadise.com (Ishimaru Chiaki) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 01:25:02 +0100

This tutorial is a translation of luc@s's Register globals et écrasement de données PHP tutorial. Since the license allows the modification and redistribution of this tutorial, I didn't need to ask him for permission, but all credits must go to him.

Some Web hosts activate the register_globals function in PHP.INI.
If activated, this function allows to register superglobal variables ($_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE, $_ENV, $_SERVER, $_SESSION) into normal variables. Thus, if this function is set to "on" and the $_POST['text'] variable exists, then the $text variable of the same value will be automatically created. Apparently, this function doesn't cause any problem, and it even facilitates programming. But actually, this might be the source of major security issues.

If you don't understand the introduction clearly, read this : PHP.INI.

URL Rewriting

newbiesparadise@newbiesparadise.com (Leo) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:47:39 +0100

Hi everyone ! My name is Leo. This course was originally published on the French version of this website, "Le Site du Zéro". It was written by Captain MDS. I got his authorization to translate it. If there's any mistake, you can send me a PM

This is my first course about URL Rewriting.

What's that thing ?

This is a way to redirect your visitor. Ok, I'm sure you didn't understand. I'm going to give you an example : If you go to www.monsite.com/news-7-8.html, you'll be redirected on www.monsite.com/news.php?id=7&comm=8. Do you understand ?

It only redirects, but it doesn't replace the URL (it's not like NP, in fact ). To do this, it's not URL Rewriting but something more complicated. I don't know how to do it, so we're going to learn how to do URL Rewriting.

Be careful : the method I'm going to develop isn't available with all the hosts ! Anyway there are other ways to do it ; to find them, Google is your friend !

Let's go !
