- Welcome to Lesson 8: Hacking Networking Devices.
In this lesson we'll start with looking at why
network devices are a target for hackers, followed by
reviewing the fundamentals of networking technology.
This includes the OSI and DoD Internet Reference Models,
ethernet, routers, switches, firewalls and
networking security products.
We'll review the different planes of network
devices, such as the data plane, control
plane, and management plane.
You'll learn about local attacks against
switches and broadcast domains, or virtual
LANs, including attacks against VLAN
Trunking Protocol, or VTP, and ARP cache poisoning.
Then we'll extend our attacks into routers,
first-hop redundancy protocols and interior gateway
protocols, such as OSPF or open shortest path first,
including how to use these tools to pull off
man-in-the-middle attacks.
We have a lot to cover, so let's get started.
