Languard Network scanner Basics, By Virus1824 - for beginners    

Hi, this is my first tutorial ever so don't flame me if it sux ;)
since i'm utterly very bored i decided to help the people who aren't
familiar with scanning a bit.
This tutorial covers the basic options and actions of Languard scanner, it
is not ment for adcanced hackers and such.


----------
introduction
------------
First of all get Languard from

http://www.gfi.com/downloads/downloads.asp?pid=8&vid=1&lid=1

When u got languard installed and u have 1 IP or a IP range to scan you're
ready to go.
First we will cover the basic options u may need.


--------------
options
-------------
First goto "scan-options"
Then u will enter a menu with various options such as timeouts retries
Netbios scans ect.

Goto "scanning" u will find a list of things u can scan, such as netbios
etc, i suggest u turn all the options on, and set the port scanning delay to
2000 (ms) anymore is useless. Also turn on "read banners".

Next you'll see "gathering information" and beneath that are:

-operations to be performed
-list of ports to be scanned

We will leave "operations to be performed" for now and focus on "list of
ports to be scanned".
on the right u see a pictogram next to ports to be scanned, click on it.

When u do that u'l see a list of ports the program scans for when u scan a
IP.

U can add ports, delete em turn em on or off.
Lets add a new port for the program to scan shall we?
on the right u will see a menu with:

-port number
-port description

and some options u can turn on and off such as

-is a trojan port
-read banner

Port number defines the port the program scans while doing its sweep, the
port description is the description of the port like port 27374-description:
Subseven server. The last 2 speak for themselves.

Now lets add a new port.

in port number type: 3500
in port description type: some weird trojan, then turn on "is a trojan port"
and "Read banner", then click on "add port" and "save changes" and ure done.
u can add as many ports as u want too, and turn em on or off.


----------------
Scanning
----------------

now when u configured the options ure ready to scan an IP.
on the main menu u will see pictograms like a play button and such.
click on the pitcogram that looks like a paper.
When u did that a menu will popup that will ask if u want to scan only 1
computer or a range of computers.
Simply make ure choice enter the ip and click Finish.
then on the far left click on the play button and it will begin its sweep.
When its done u will see netbios exploit (if the computer has 1) and open
ports and much more information which u can use.
