Analyzers and mobile pen testing tools

- As more and more applications become more distributed…and more mobile we need tools to be able…to work with the network components…and then work with those mobile components,…with the endpoints.…Let's take a look into our toolbox…and see what kind of tools we have to work…with both networks and with mobile endpoints.…First off there's a couple of tools…that you'll find on the pen test plus exam…that focus on networks.…There's Wireshark and Hping.…Wireshark is a packet sniffer and protocol analyzer.…

You've already seen that.…Basically it allows you to grab packets off the network…where you can analyze them.…You can actually sniff things off the network,…you can make changes to them if you want to,…but you can also store them and analyze them later…to figure out what's going on…and what the traffic that's navigating through your network…actually looks like.…Hping even takes it a little bit further.…It allows you to assemble packets,…because part of pen testing is the ability…to send packets that may cause the target…
