Here is the fifth Mind Map in the Certified Ethical Hacker CEH series from MindCert.com. This Mind Map covers System Hacking. There are nine sections to this Mind Map. They are: Remote Password Guessing, Eavesdropping, Denial of Service, Privilege Escalation, Keystroke Loggers, Password Cracking, Covering Tracks, Remote Control, and Covering Tracks.

This Mind Map covers Enumeration, which is the fourth module in the CEH. Enumeration is where you use active connections to identify resources on a given host. These resources may be network resources, users and groups, as well as applications and banners.

This Mind Map covers module 3 of the CEH curriculum. This is Scanning. This Mind Map and module covers the detection of live systems on a network as well as the detection of services on those systems. This is also known as port scanning, and one of the best port scanning tools is Nmap. Nmap is covered in depth within this Mind Map along with the command line options for performing different scans with it. As well as Nmap, other port scanning tools are reviewed as well as direct links to download them.

The second Mind Map from MindCert.com covers Footprinting. Footprinting is the initial reconnaissance that a hacker carries out in order to gleam information about the target of evaluation. The type of information that is obtained through footprinting is normally in the public domain so this is classed as passive reconnaissance as you do not have to do anything active, against the target of evaluation at this point. I hope you find this Mind Map useful, there are a lot more to come. The Mind Map can be DOWNLOADED HERE
