Nt1310 Unit 3 Penetration Testing

* Compare the results of the ZenMap GUI “Intense Scan” with a Nessus® vulnerability assessment scan

* 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.

Rob Pettigrew is the manager of technical systems and help desk center of Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, Wyoming. Protecting networks are getting harder as there are different types of devices being used by companies. An example of this is Wyoming Medical Center has four different classifications of PCs, PCs in the hallways for the staff to use, PCs at the nursing stations, PCs in offices, and PCs on that move between patient rooms. Pettigrew deployed Novell ZenWorks to 850 of the medical centers 900 PCs to ensure each one has the right software. With having multiple applications, medical software systems, and the different machine types, and restrictions make it difficult for Pettigrew to ensure proper protection for the network. Another concern is the

"Christie reported that the doctor's laptop would not boot and showed only a black screen with a blinking cursor. Walked Christy through entering the system setup to verify boot settings. Walked her through running the Samsung Recovery feature to restore crucial Windows files. This issue was not resolved. Christy brought the computer to our office. Enabled UEFI boot which allowed the computer to boot into Windows, however, the system encountered a bluescreen and restarted. Booted into safe mode. Used a utility to determine the cause of the bluescreen and found it to be outdated wireless network adapter drivers. Downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the manufacturer, as well as the video adapter drivers. Searched

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.

We consider the situation where an attacker is already in possession of the smartphone. This scenario is common because the user might forget her smartphone somewhere, i.e., in her office, canteen, etc., or an attacker manages to steal the smartphone (e.g., through pickpocketing, etc). More specifically, we target three scenarios: (i) an attacker accidentally finds the smartphone, (ii) the attacker is victim's friend or colleague (who knows about the implemented mechanism), and (iii) an attacker who tries to mimic the user behaviors (e.g., using recorded video, etc) to unlock the victim's smartphone.

In 2005, Campbell County operated 26 servers and 400 computers. As the County looked for ways to utilize technology to provide new and improved services, the number of servers has risen to 105, while end-user devices now hover around 630. As demand for more servers continued, it soon became apparent the server room at the Courthouse was no longer adequate for size or power requirements. Faced with the prospect of a difficult and expensive remodel, Administrative and Network staff proposed an alternative; rather than continue utilizing traditional “pizza box” servers, a strategic plan to migrate to virtual servers was created. Moving to virtual computing allowed ITS staff to administer a large number of servers much more efficiently. This move

Utilizing two simple command switches, -O and -v, provided a wealth of information about the host system. Most notably, it listed all of the open ports, protocols, and the operating system of the target system. This quick gathering of information enabled the execution of more detailed commands against specific ports to expose specific vulnerabilities. This information can then be used to address any specific vulnerabilities that are

Four test stations (1 WN, 2 Arlo Gen3, 1 Arlo Q/Q+) that build for APL were almost completely set up and verified except the barcode scanner.

Penetration testing is the attempt to identify security weaknesses within the IT infrastructure of an

Sorry for late update mail. I've been working improving what's already done as I didn't have much else to do during last week. This is brief summary of things that I've done during last week.

I agree with you on this scenario. Kelly has the years of experience that Jody does not. Sending Kelly to get certified would not only benefit the company she works for but would also give her job security. This type of decision is very hard because this was once a field where there was no certification required and it was day to day learning that made the job possible. I believe that with the ever changing health care system it is going to be a mandate that almost all positions dealing with medical records are going to require some type of certification or degree due to the HIPPA laws.

Find and correct the mistakes in the test items below 1. Jane prefers doing nothing than working 2. Computers cannot do anything without program correctly 3. It took her a long time to get used to wear contact lenses 4. He would rather to upgrade her old PC than buy a new one 5.

This report contains an overview of the testing process and issues that were found, details of the testing process, results found, the risks associated with the vulnerability and recommendations for rectifying the vulnerability. The results of the test can be of assistance to Ernst & Young when making decisions regarding information security.

An agent is available to run locally on systems for even more in-depth scans. Running a scan isn’t very difficult, it just a matter accessing the Nessus web interface, select new scan and select name, choose a target, which could be an entire network or a single target, deciding the type of scan, which could be predefined or custom to scan for particular vulnerabilities such as Badlock Detection scan, which looks for a security issue with SAMBA, a Shellshock scan that looks for vulnerabilities in old Linux or Mac machines, or DROWN scan that looks for computers hosting sites susceptible to DROWN attacks, once the decision of type of scan has been made save the scan. These scans could run on demand or scheduled. When the scan is complete, Nessus generates an online report of the results of the scan, that could also be exported in various formats.
