Hey CiscoGuy33,
I think we're neighbors, I'm in St. Pete

MCSE CCNA CCDA

I am on my way down there Dearingkr and CiscoGuy!!! Just give me a couple of months then we can start our own 2600 meetings!!!

Lerdalt, You scare me sometimes.. LoL I know just enough at this point to reasonably comprehend what you said.. I REALLY want to learn WireShark better.. gain an better understanding of how to filter all the traffic etc. (So I can find the arp poisoned cache!!! LoL)

The arp poison is actually surprisingly easy to catch, just look at the arp table on your device. If all the mac's are the same, chances are good, you've been poisoned. It's incredibly easy with a couple of different tools, and surprisingly a lot of fun once you figure it out.

I was first shown how to do it at a Wildpackets class by one of the instructors. He was using Cain to do the hack, and making changes to my dns stuff. Looking back I probably should have been ticked off that the instructor was picking on me, but he wasn't the lead instructor, and we were in the back of the room.

Now you want really scary...I used Wildpackets software or Wireshark in my studies for the CCNP. Things made a lot more sense once I started to see the OSPF messages going around and what was included with each packet.

Sadly, I've found (and several others I've met) all say that packet analysis tends to be more art then science. It's easy to teach how to run the tool, but not so easy to teach what to look for within the traces. Best way I learned was to just let traces run at my desk, and see what I could see. Drove everyone nuts around here when the Blaster and Slammer worms were going crazy. I was pin-pointing devices like it was nothing and making folks run around to fix them or I was disconnecting the switch ports.

WireShark and NMAP are my two most used network tools.. well and now PacketTrap.. The one I want to learn the most other than these two is netcat... To really do so I need to brush up on my Perl and that is an endeavor all it's own... so, I will stick with NMAP and WireShark for now..

That brings a question to mind.. Does anyone know of any REALLY good video tutorials for WireShark? Going to wait on the book to publically release for NMAP!

There is a book for Wireshark, but I haven't been that impresses with it. Laura Chappell has a YouTube site with a couple of videos that are ok. Or, if you can swing it, there is a dvd course from Wireshark that is really good. I've got it at work, and might be able to let you 'demo' it......

Hey Guys,
I was perusing CiscoG's lulu website when I ran across this CCIE lab book.. It's FREE and boasts a sweet route redistribution setup.. I know this is way up there in regard to toying around but it looks nice and the price is right.. Thought I would share!

CiscoGuy,
Just wanted to ask you how that thyroid is doing? It's been about six weeks.. any special abilities or unexplained super powers generated from the radioactive pill?

Also, while I am in this reminiscent state of mind.. did you ever get your tea and biscuits?

[CiscoGuy33]

Billy,

Yes, I have selective x-ray vision - only cute girls

I also have the ability to scan many Cisco forums with a single bond and I can config routers with both hands......

No tea and biscuits but tons of pizza!!!

But on the serious side, I don't see the doctor again until Feb. 20th, just have to have my blood tested every 6 weeks to see how my levels are dropping - whatever the thyroid produces - so far so good!!!

That's good.. Wish you the best!

By the way, I have that same vision.. Only mine is not quite as acute.. No matter how hard I concentrate it just can't be considered x-ray! LoL

And we had pizza the last two nights in a row.. LoL
