5
Network Intrusion Attacks can be devastating –Cost money, time, theft of files, etc HACKERS –Intruders who gain access by modifying software or exploiting software vulnerabilities
6
4 Threats from the Hacker Stealing Confidential Info –Credit card #’s –Private Company info such as a project in development –Could be sold
7
4 Threats from the Hacker Destroy or Alter Records –Send a virus that reformats HD –Changing your grades –Change store prices
8
4 Threats from the Hacker Identity Theft –Stealing info to take on identity –Applying for credit cards & buying stuff –Obtain DL’s
9
4 Threats from the Hacker Disrupting Service –Preventing user from accessing services such as Internet
10
Activity
11
Where’d He Come From? External Threat –Outside attacker –Internet or Wireless
12
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.
13
Social Engineering Deceiving internal users into performing actions or revealing confidential info –Takes advantage of them –Usually don’t meet them face-to-face
14

15
3 Types of Social Engineering Pretexting, Phishing, and Vishing
16
Phishing
17
Review
18
Let’s Try This… Cyber Security Awareness Quiz
19
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
20
3 Evil Things Viruses, Worms and Trojan horses –Go to 8.2.1.2
21
Simplified 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
22
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/
23
Activity Virus, Worm or Trojan Horse???
24
Just Being Evil! Sometimes the goal is to shut a network down & disrupt the organization –Can cost a business lots of money!!
25
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
26
DoS- SYN Flooding
27
DoS- Ping of Death! Sending SO MANY pings, the server can’t respond to anyone else!
28
DDoS –Attack by multiple systems infected with DDoS code –Sends useless data to server –Overwhelms system & it crashes
29
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 8.2.2.3
30
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
31
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
32
Other Threats Not all threats do damage –Some collect info Spyware Tracking Cookies Adware Pop-ups
33
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
34
Tracking Cookies Form of spyware –Not always bad Records info about user when they visit web sites –Allows personalization –Many sites require them
35
Adware Form of spyware Records info about user when they visit web sites For advertising purposes –Pop-ups & pop-ups of ads
36
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
37
What’s This?
38
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
39
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
40
Security Measures You can’t eliminate security breaches –You can minimize the risks Policy Procedures Tools & Applications
41
Security Policy Formal statement of rules when using tech –Acceptable use policy –Detailed handbook What should be included?
42
Activity Let’s review some policies…
43
More Security Procedures The procedures help implement the policies Some of the security tools and applications used in securing a network include:
44
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
45
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
46
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
47
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
48
Anti-Spyware Spyware & Adware cause virus-like symptoms –Use computer resources This software can detect & delete them Pop-Up Blockers
49
Activity
50
What’s a firewall? Resides between two or more networks and controls the traffic between them as well as helps prevent unauthorized access 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
51
4 Types of Firewalls
52
Firewall Placement & DMZ
53
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
54
Lab 8.4.2.4?? Server CD
55
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
56
Lab 8.4.3.2? Vulnerability Analysis
