Backtrack 4: Information Gathering: Dmitry – Deepmagic Information Gathering Tool

Security2 Comments

Dmitry or Deepmagic Information Gathering Tool is an all in one host information tool included in Backtrack 4’s Information Gathering section. Personally I prefer doing most info gathering using tools built into Linux however it is nice to run a tool like this in the background and come back later if you are multi-tasking. Before getting into the details of Dmitry please see this article relating to a Segmentation Fault that can occur with Dmitry on Backtrack 4.

When using the TCP Portscan module combined with the output to a file switch, which is done using the -p switch for the TCP Portscan and -o + filename for the output to a file, you will receive a Segmentation Fault. Below is an example when running Dmitry from within Backtrack 4.
