Lab 23: Location/Registrant Identification
Gather Registration Info/Trace Visual Route: Visual Route
Prerequisites: None
Countermeasures: Use generic registrant information; use registrants to
hide your personal information.
Description: The Visual Route Web site located at http://www.visualroute.
com provides not only a route to the target but a visual indication of
the location of the target in a representation of a global map. The
registrant information may also be obtained on the target or links to
the target. There is also a visual route application for Windows that
can be purchased.
Procedure: From http://www.visualroute.com enter the target hostname
or IP.
In this example, Visual Route tracks and displays a route to
http://www.disney.com. Each link is not only identified by its IP address
Target Enumeration 127
but a location is given for each link. Attackers use this information to identify
potential routers between themselves and their intended targets.
In this example, the location and links to the http://www.hotmail.com
target are given. The map that is generated can be zoomed in closer by leftclicking
on an area of the map. By clicking on the target the registrant
information is obtained.
*Note: Notice the DNS server IP addresses and hostnames are given as well, which
may provide more useful targets.
