* Check existing security scan reports, from WireShark and NetWitness Investigator, and see if we can identify data leakage, and setup new policies and procedures for monitoring web servers and applications.

Why are spindle fibers important for mitosis? (5 points) Chromosomes use spindle fibers as pathways to daughter cells during mitosis.

On April 4th of this year, Microsoft issued security bulletin MS15-034; this security bulletin explains a vulnerability that “could allow remote code execution if an attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP request to an affected Windows system.” Later, on June 9th, Microsoft issued another security bulletin, MS15-056; this security bulletin explains a vulnerability that “could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Internet Explorer. An attacker who

The attack is carried out on a closed environment using a local web server to host the

One of the most common is the CGI scripting. CGI scripting works by sending Bash command to the web server i.e. (Apache, *gnix, Webrick... etc.) to generate dynamic content for the user. Dynamic content is when a website appears personalized to the user. A normal Web browser would not allow the user to execute special query in the address bar. So, the attacker can use Bash to interact with website. For instance, the command in Bash called "curl" is a utility that is used to make HTTP request to a give specific URL essentially you are navigating the website without the Graphical User Interface (GUI). So, if the victims have CGI scripting enabled and the shellshock bug is present we know we can get the bash to run arbitrary code. So if the attacker runs this

Companies should develop a control that requires that routine vulnerability assessment of their customer facing web sites, network infrastructure, and associated systems (such as database systems). Vulnerability assessment can help identify potential weaknesses to systems and also provide a sort of feedback to the organization’s IT department on their current operational policy and security posture. The cost of performing a routine vulnerability assessment is considerably less than that of an actual data breach.

Our company is looking for security threats inside and outside their network. The best way to see what our network is vulnerable to is to use penetration testing (pen-testing) to find the leaks in and out of our network. Penetration testing is a network security approach that simulates an attack from an intruder trying to get unauthorized access to the infrastructure. With this type of testing the intent is to discover flaws in the security settings of the system before they can be exploited. Information Assurance Research Corporation (IARC) should conduct penetration testing on a regular basis, so we have the ability to locate weaknesses in the hardware and software, check the security controls currently established and determine if the

A vulnerability assessment is a risk testing process which finds, quantity and rank possible vulnerabilities to threats in as many security defects as possible in a given timeframe. Depend upon organization scope there are many way to conduct vulnerability assessment. This assessment may involve automated and manual techniques.

Penetration testing is when a company pays a specialist to try and break into their network and relay back to them any vulnerabilities they may find. Now

This report documents the results from the penetration test of the Ernst and Young Credit Union external website (http://10.55.3.101). Full authorisation has been given to conduct the test, which was carried out in a manner that simulates an attack from a malicious user. The objectives were to:

Cross Site Scripting is one of the most common web exploited vulnerability as it is listed as number 2 just after SQL injection on the OWASP website. It is also a type of injection but script injection. XSS enables the attackers to inject client-side script into web pages which are viewed by other users. Cross Site Scripting has been in World Wide Web since 1996. The attacker just needs to know a little java scripting to exploit vulnerability. Today all popular web programming technologies such as PHP, microsoft.Net, ColdFusion and asp are all acceptable with XSS. Cross Site Scripting happens when users find that your website is vulnerable and users the website to distribute malicious scripts to other users which runs in other users web browsers. This type of attack is used to steal sensitive user information such as emails, date of birth, names and hijack user sessions by which the hacker gets unauthorized access to the web server. A web application is sent with a
