13
Activity
14
What is a hacker? ▫ Handout Review posters and decide on the threat ▫ Handout
15
Where’d He Come From? External Threat ▫ Outside attacker ▫ Internet or Wireless
16
Where’d He Come From? Internal Threat ▫ Has authorized access Knows people & network Knows what info is valuable ▫ OR someone may have just picked up a virus According to the FBI, internal access and misuse of computers systems account for approximately 70% of reported incidents of security breaches.
17
Discussion Who is the greatest threat? ▫ Internal or External
18
Social Engineering- The Trojan Horse
19
Social Engineering Easiest way to gain access… Deceiving internal users into performing actions or revealing confidential info ▫ Takes advantage of them ▫ Usually don’t meet them face-to-face
20

21
3 Types of Social Engineering Pretexting, Phishing, and Vishing
22
Phishing
23
Review
24
Let’s Try This… Cyber Security Awareness Quiz
26
Other Attacks Viruses, Worms and Trojan horses ▫ Malicious software put on hosts ▫ Damage system, destroy data, deny access ▫ They can forward data to thieves ▫ Can replicate to other hosts
27
3 Evil Things Viruses, Worms and Trojan horses ▫ Go to 8.2.1.2
28
Simplified TransmissionReplicationBehavior Virus Attaches to a program Can reproduceCauses havoc! Worm Self-replicatingSends copies of itself to other comp. w/ security holes Cause harm to network; ties up bandwidth Trojan Horse Computer program disguised Does damage when run Can’t replicate
29
Let’s See… GCIT Who wants to play… ▫ ID Theft Faceoff? ID Theft ▫ Invasion of the Wireless Hackers? Invasion of the Wireless Hackers ▫ Phishing Scams? Phishing Scams Quiz Time for all! ▫ http://www.sonicwall.com/phishing/ http://www.sonicwall.com/phishing/
30
Activity Virus, Worm or Trojan Horse???
31
Homework Look up three current virus threats. ▫ Handout
32
Just Being Evil! Sometimes the goal is to shut a network down & disrupt the organization ▫ Can cost a business lots of money!!
33
Denial of Service (DoS) In general, DoS attacks seek to: ▫ Flood a system or network with traffic to prevent legitimate network traffic from flowing ▫ Disrupt connections between a client and server to prevent access to a service ▫ Some are not used much anymore, but can be SYN flooding Ping of Death
34
DoS- SYN Flooding
35
DoS- Ping of Death! Sending SO MANY LARGE pings, the server can’t respond to anyone else!
36
DDoS ▫ Attack by multiple systems infected with DDoS code ▫ Sends useless data to server ▫ Overwhelms system & it crashes
37
Brute Force Fast computer used to guess passwords or decipher encryption code Brute force attacks can cause a denial of service due to excessive traffic to a specific resource or by locking out user accounts Try Activity on 8.2.2.3
38
Review Name 3 types of social engineering. ▫ Pretexting, Phishing, Vishing How are you targeted in a pretexting attack? ▫ Over the phone You click on a pop-up window to claim a “prize.” A program was installed w/out you knowing & now an attacker has access to your system. What is this called? ▫ Trojan Horse
39
Review Which attack doesn’t need activation and copies itself across the network? ▫ Worm A server is busy responding to a SYN with an invalid source IP address. What’s the attack? ▫ SYN Flooding
40
Other Threats Not all threats do damage ▫ Some collect info Collecting Info/Invading Privacy ▫ Spyware ▫ Tracking Cookies ▫ Adware ▫ Pop-ups
41
Spyware Program that gathers personal info w/out your permission ▫ Info sent to advertisers Usually installed unknowingly ▫ Downloaded, installing a program, click on pop-up Can slow computer down or make settings changes Can be difficult to remove ToolbarsKeyloggersBundled Software
42
Tracking Cookies Form of spyware ▫ Not always bad Records info about user when they visit web sites ▫ Allows personalization ▫ Many sites require them
43
Adware Form of spyware Records info about user when they visit web sites For advertising purposes ▫ Pop-ups & pop-ups of ads
44
Pop-Ups (and Pop-Unders) Adware EXCEPT doesn’t collect any info Pop-ups ▫ Open in front of the current browser window Pop-unders ▫ Open behind the current browser window
45
What’s This?
46
Spam Unwanted bulk mail from advertisers Spammer sends ▫ Often sent through unsecured servers ▫ Can take control of computers ▫ Then sent from that computer to others On average, how many spam emails are sent to a person per year? ▫ 3000
47
Review You visit a web site and see this annoying advertising tactic that appears in a new window. What is it? ▫ Pop-up This type of advertising is sent to many, many people. The advertiser uses no marketing scheme. ▫ Spam This form of spyware is not always bad & can be used for personalization of a site. ▫ Cookies
49
Security Measures You can’t eliminate security breaches ▫ You can minimize the risks Policy Procedures Tools & Applications
50
Security Policy Formal statement of rules when using tech ▫ Acceptable use policy ▫ Detailed handbook What should be included?
51
Activity Let’s review some policies… GCIT Klondike Middle School Clearview High School
52
More Security Procedures The procedures help implement the policies Some of the security tools and applications used in securing a network include:
53
Rut Roh! Computer starts acting abnormally Program does not respond to mouse and keystrokes. Programs starting or shutting down on their own. Email program begins sending out large quantities of email CPU usage is very high There are unidentifiable, or a large number of, processes running. Computer slows down significantly or crashes
54
Anti-Virus Software Preventive & Reactive tool Features ▫ Email checker ▫ Dynamic Scanning (checks files when accessed) ▫ Scheduled scans ▫ Auto update When a virus is known, they will update it
55
Anti-Spam Spam sends unwanted emails ▫ Code takes over PC to send more The software ID’s it & places it in junk folder or deletes it On PC or on email server ▫ ISP may have a spam filter
56
Other ways to prevent spam Keep anti-virus up to date Don’t forward suspect emails Ignore the virus warning email Report spam to admin to be blocked Don’t open attachment from people you don’t know
57
Anti-Spyware Spyware & Adware cause virus-like symptoms ▫ Use computer resources This software can detect & delete them Pop-Up Blockers
58
Activity
59
Review This policy says what you can & can’t do on a network or computer. ▫ Acceptable use policy T or F. A-V companies like McAfee can protect you against every known virus & future viruses. ▫ False T or F. It is possible for legitimate emails to be marked as spam. ▫ True
60
Review T or F. With A-V & anti-spyware installed, you need not worry about opening email attachments. You are completely safe! ▫ False…why? Other than on your PC, Google’s Gmail servers have this security software installed. ▫ Spam Filter
62
What’s a firewall? Controls traffic between networks & helps prevent unauthorized access ▫ Permits or denies data
63
4 Types of Firewalls
64
Firewall Decisions Based On Packet Filtering ▫ Based on IP or MAC addresses Application / Web Site Filtering ▫ Based on the application. ▫ Websites can be blocked by URL or keywords Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) ▫ Must be responses from internal host ▫ DoS saver
65
Firewall Placement & DMZ
66
GCIT & DMZ Web Server (has GCIT web site) Email Server (allows outside access) File Server (allows file access from outside) DRAW DMZ
67
Firewall & DMZ at home/ Port Forwarding/ Wireless AP internal Let’s say you have a web server It needs to handle web request while you still protect you internal network Create a DMZ with the Linksys
68
Lab 8.4.2.4 DMZ Setup Lab ▫ Set up DMZ ▫ Set up port forwarding ▫ You can even set up time/day access (will not do in the lab)
69
Review Which type of firewall… ▫ Is dedicated hardware & the best? Appliance ▫ Is on a single computer? Personal What is an area that is accessible to internal PC’s & outside PC’s? ▫ DMZ What 3 security measures can be set up for a server on your network that needs public access? ▫ DMZ, port forward, time/day
70
Review How many firewalls would a big business use? ▫ Two firewalls What of these can you setup in a wireless access point for security? ▫ Popup stopper, Change the default IP address, Update the antivirus software, Tighten the cable between the AP and PC Change the AP default IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.x.x Which process allows firewall entrance into the network ONLY IF it was requested from an internal PC? ▫ SPI
71
Is Your Network Vulnerable? Tools to help identify where attacks can occur ▫ Number of hosts on a network ▫ The services hosts are offering ▫ The OS and update versions on hosts ▫ Packet filters and firewalls in use Lab 8.4.3.2? ▫ Vulnerability Analysis
72
