What can you find out from an IP?
Here I will outline some use full Unix and NT commands for finding out more information about a given IP. Some of these techniques will fail depending on firewall rule sets.
How do I find out if an IP is contactable?
How do I find out what organization owns an IP?
How do I find out what OS a box is running?
How do I find out what ports are open/services are running?
How do I tell who is logged in to that box?
How Do I find the NetBIOS name from the IP?
How Do I find the IP from the NetBIOS name?
How can I see the traffic going between two IPs on a switched network?
Because the IP your ISP's DHCP server hands you may not always be the same it is handy to be able to quickly find out what your IP is. Most of the time on a LAN the DHCP server will try to hand a machine the same IP it's MAC address received the last time it requested an address, but not always. To find out your host IP and other useful information use these commands.
Windows 9X/Me:
Use the "winipcfg" command, this will bring up a GUI dialog with all the info you will need.
Windows NT/2000/XP/etc:
Use the "ipconfig command.

The IP found using the instructions above is the IP your computers NIC (Network Interface Card) or modem has, if you are hooked to a home router or some other kind of NAT box the IP the world sees as you when you connect to other hosts will be different. To find you WAN IP (the IP the world sees when you are behind a NAT box or a Proxy) go to one of the following sites:
http://www.rootsecure.net/?p=your_ip
http://www.ipchicken.com/

How do I find out if an IP is contactable?
If the host is not blocking ICMP echo requests (type 8, code 0) try using the "ping" command, it should work from any Unix like OS and from Windows.

If the host is behind a firewall blocking ICMP echo requests then you will have to look into other ways of enumerating the network, like Hping ( http://www.hping.org/ )
How do I find out what organization owns an IP?
Easiest way is to use the online tools from http://samspade.org/t/ (use IP Whois) or download their Windows tools and use them on your box. Arwin offers a similar CGI at http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl if Sam Spade does not work for you. There is also a host of tools built into the SamSpade utility for Windows, which you can download from http://www.samspade.org/ssw/ .
How do I find out what OS a box is running?
You can tell what OS a box is running in a few ways. Knowing what ports are open on the box will give you some good guesses (for instance port 6000 is used for X-windows, it being open probably means the box is running some kind of Unix). The easiest way to find this info is to use the "nmap" utility from http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ( also available on the Knoppix Linux Boot CD ( http://www.knoppix.org/ ) or Trinux boot disk ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/trinux/ ) ) and do an OS fingerprint like so:
[root@tux adrian]# nmap -O
tux.mydomains.com
Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA26 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Adding open port 22/tcp

Notice the part in red indicate the likely OS. Be careful about using tools like "nmap", the site you are targeting may give your local admin a call asking why you are scanning their site. Also make sure your copy of Nmap is up to date so it has the newest OS fingerprints, the version I used in the above example is kind of old.
You can also find out sometimes by using the "What's that site running" cgi at Netcraft, which does a banner grab for you.
Telneting to the host and observing the intro may give you some info:
Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)
Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686
login:
and if they only have port 80 open you can telnet to that port and hit enter twice and observe the headers:
[root@tux adrian]# telnet orangutan.mydomains.com 80
Trying 192.168.28.32...
Connected to orangutan.mydomains.com.

This technique is know as "banner grabbing".
How do I find out what ports are open/services are running?
There are port scanners for Windows and Unix, "nmap" ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ and available on the Trinux boot disk) being my personal choice. Be careful about using tools like "nmap", the site you are targeting may give your local admin a call asking why you are scanning their site. See the above entry for an example of using nmap.
If you want to find out what ports are open (and which executables they belong too) on your local Windows box use the "netstat" command with the -b option.
Windows:
C:\>netstat -b

How do I tell who is logged into a remote Windows box?
On Windows you can try:
C:\>nbtstat -a somebox Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.22.68] Scope Id: []
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
testbox2<00> UNIQUE Registered
MYADS <00> GROUP Registered
testbox2<03> UNIQUE Registered
MYADS <1E> GROUP Registered
JDOE 03> UNIQUE Registered
MAC Address = 00-04-76-39-A9-F9
C:\>
But if Netbios over TCP/IP it turned off it won't work. In that case you may have to use a WMI script, but you would have to be an Admin on the remote box.
On Unix: bash-2.05# nmblookup -S somebox querying testbox2 on 192.168.31.255 192.168.22.59 somebox <00> Looking up status of 192.168.22.59 testbox2 <00> - M <ACTIVE> MYADS <00> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE> testbox2 <03> - M <ACTIVE> MYADS <1e> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE> JDOE <03> - M <ACTIVE> bash-2.05#
The above will only work is the Windows box has Netbios over TCP/IP it turned on.
LANguard (for Windows) and Nessus
(for Unix). With all these you would want to turn off some of the options,
otherwise the admins at the other site will see is as an all out attack.

How can I see the traffic going between two points on a switched network?
Get the dsniff and ngrep packages, they come with Trinux (note: on Trinux use "arpredirect" instead of "arpspoof") or you can download them. Start up three terminals.
In the first terminal run :
arpspoof -t 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2
In the 2nd one run :
arpspoof -t 2.2.2.2 1.1.1.1
Then run ngrep:
ngrep host 1.1.1.1|more
and watch the fun. Also try the "dsniff" command to see plaintext passwords that are passed between the two hosts. To find out more information visit my article on the basics of ARP spoofing at http://irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/arpspoof
You can also use Ettercap (Win and Linux) and Cain (Win) to do much the same thing as these videos illustrate:

Cain to ARP poison and sniff passwords
