1.0 Introduction of Project Mountain Top Security Specialists has been hired as external testers for Widgets incorporated. Widgets have been expanding retail industry with stores in 100 different locations. Widgets credit card transactions has reached over 100,000 each day and needs to ensure that Widgets is PCI compliance for each location. Since retail industry is a 24 hour 7 days per week operation, only limited areas can be taken off line to test its security concerns. With the penetration testing

1a. What are some of the actions you would take to conduct a Red Team assessment? According to the book “Penetration Testing, A hands-on Introduction to Hacking (Weidman, 2014)”, there are six phases of the penetration testing process. The six phases are pre-engagement interactions, intelligence gathering, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation and reporting. Pre-engagement During the pre-engagement phase, I would interact and plan out the testing

According to identitytheft.info, almost 15 million Americans have their identity used fraudulently due to information leaks and information insecurities. With the growing dependency on computer systems to store confidential information across the world, it is only necessary that that the information be protected by strong security systems which include both hardware and software so that both the businesses and the consumers feel safe in the transportation of information over the inter-webs. Contemporary

Virtualization Technologies Mobile Virtualization Abstract: Currently, mobile phone systems are dominating the existing portable device such as Tablet PC’s, Notebooks, and Laptop’s for execution of digital applications [1]. In present situation connecting to data-plan/Wi-Fi (internet) on mobile systems is so easy, as the mobile devices are portable and small can be connected to available networks easily. [2]. Due to this advantage a new concept is emerging that is BYOD “Bring your own mobile

N.p.: nixCraft, 2009. #1: Encrypt Data Communication All data transmitted over a network is open to monitoring. Encrypt transmitted data whenever possible with password or using keys / certificates. 1. Use scp, ssh, rsync, or sftp for file transfer. You can also mount remote server file system or your own home directory using special sshfs and fuse tools. 2. GnuPG allows to encrypt

Port Scanner, IP Resolver and Client Server using Socket Programming in Python Project Report [EE281] By:- Shekhar Agrawal Shaunak Deshmukh Tejas Nikam Preyansh Shah Prof. Balaji Venkatraman, Project Advisor 12/2014 ABSTRACT By [Shekhar Agrawal, Shaunak Deshmukh, Tejas Nikam, Preyansh Shah] Our aim is to get hands-on experience in Python. We have used Socket Programming in Python to implement a Port Scanner and an IP Resolver. Port scanning is an important technique to probe a host for

probing tests. After the initial information gathering process more comprehensive tools will be implemented to evaluate security and carry out the penetration test. Some or all of the tools listed will be used in the overall test phase. Nmap: The standard of network scanning tools creates network packets to elicit responses. This tool tricks the target machine to revealing more information than a traditional ping (Northcutt, Shenk, Shackleford, Rosenberg, Siles & Mancini, 2006).
