Tracking lost assets.

My team been tasked to track certain items, i.e DELLs server X1000 series across the whole network, (global).

The methodology:

1. Check with Asset inventory list
2. Check with procurement list
3. Scan the entire network.

Just skip items 1 and 2, because both items related to business process and proceed with item no 3. How are we suppose to scan the entire network of class Gorgilla (purposely misspelling) amounting of 1 gazillion IP addresses. I intro you the ZMAP. yeah the powerful scanner, that is working so fast, you cant even read a,b,c...until z.... because by the time you start to read the alphabet in order, Zmap already completes scanning the entire class A (non internet routable).

the way we did it..

1. come out with common criteria of DELL X1000

  • running https on port 6070
$zmap -p 80 -o results.csv 1.0.0.0/8 <- class="" gorgilla="" span="">

Thats it folks.
