It is very wrong and illegal.  So you will probably not get the answer you seek here.  If you want to study ETHICAL hacking, you should be aware of laws and such.  If you are caught doing this on campus, you will most likely be tossed and could face some additional charges depending on how serious UNI is on such activities.  Don't kill your career before it starts.  Set up your own lab and practice on yourself.

If you're that curious, you'll find a way to do it on your own. No one here is going to support it. Carry on at your own risk.

I dont know what the whole haxxor thing is about if your trolling to be sarcastic or whatever but im taking this course to be network engineer / network security expert not to sit at home "hacking" into random peoples computers while eating a bowl of cheerios.....

But yes I have heard of nmap, metasploit ect... that command you have typed out is that for linux uses because I remember when I used nmap years ago I swear it had a gui

I don't want to be too much of a critic, but that is going to scan the entire Internet and even attempt to scan locally reserved IP-address pools such as 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/16 and 192.168.0.0/16 (Often this last one is referred to and used as a 192.168.0.0/24 though, but can be used as a /16 classless CIDR range as well.)

Also, shouldn't he avoid scanning the multicast ranges beginning at 224.0.0.0 and ending at 239.255.255.25 ? And even the "Class E" beginning at 240.0.0.0 and ending at 255.255.255.255 ? (    Reserved for future use, or Research and Development Purposes. )

After all, 255.255.255.255 is a broadcast address. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address )


The network you're connected to, is most likely in a switched environment. If you want to know if you can access any computer on the network, you can e.g., ask the network admin(s). It is unlikely that you can access everything, as some parts like those used by the staff (administration, etc.) is probably on another network. (Or at least they should be.)


This forum is called, The Ethical Hacker Network. Being an ethical hacker, means you're abiding by the law and that you have explicit permission to test whatever you're testing. By hijacking any connection, you're breaking a dozen of laws.

I'm not going to demonstrate how you can hijack anyone's connections nor break your bandwidth limit, as this is clearly unethical and also illegal.


If it's just for the challenge, and you know it's wrong, then this is not the forum to ask these type of questions. A more suited place for these types of questions you have, would probably be HackForums, where similar entities like you, doesn't care whether things are legal or not.

If you should get caught, then you can get a fine and possibly jail time as well, depending on the laws of the country you live in. (Also, you can forget about any future work within computers.)

So I advise you to think twice, before you do anything you might regret later on.
