Hi people,
Lets say I connect my pc/laptop to a network wirelessly or via cable, doesnt matter. The network has no dhcp. I dont have any information of the network.
How can I know which ip range they use?
Thnx.
I have tried ipscan or such, but those detect who is on your own network/ip range.

You ask. If you are welcome on their network, they'll gladly give you that information.
Manually assigning IP addresses and using port security are excellent security tools - please don't try to bypass them. -
Hm ok.
I think there is a way to get the ip adres range, but it will take a whole lot of time. Setting your own static ip and scanning all ranges one by one you'll eventually get a ping/scan result. Im sure someone has written a script, batchprogram, etc for this.
Well, talking about securing a network its best you try to break in yourself first, dont you think? -
So, this is your own network you're trying to break into?

If the network is connected to the internet and every computer has a real IP address (is accessible directly from the internet), chances are you can get the IP range by searching for the network's InternetServiceProvider in an IP database. However, if it's a well known network, they'd be sure to add extra security so you won't be able to access it.
Edit: If you're trying to break into your own network I doubt the advice above would help. Why not do like the rest of us and use MAC filtering and WPA? That should keep your intruder busy -
Well I guess I have the answer. Like the books say, no system is 100% secure.
Thnx for the inputs all. -
How did you crack his WPA2 encryption?

Lets just stop before we get ahead of ourselves.

Wacky, he guessed the password.
Lithus, I agree. This entire topic is useless. -
Finished.
