Study Notes
Web Application Security
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of web application security vulnerability.
- SQL Injection attack is another type of web application security vulnerability.
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a type of web application security vulnerability.
OSI Layer Encryption and Decryption
- Encryption and decryption of a message take place at the Presentation layer of the OSI model when using PKI to secure email messages.
Wireless Network Issues
- A possible reason for a wireless client being unable to connect to a 802.11 network is that the Wireless Access Point (WAP) does not recognize the client's MAC address.
Network Traffic Monitoring
- From a legal standpoint, not informing employees that their internet traffic is being monitored could be an invasion of privacy.
Web Server Testing Tools
- Nikto is a tool that performs comprehensive tests against web servers, including dangerous files and CGIs.
Incident Investigation
- Event logs from firewalls, proxy servers, and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are essential for incident investigators to receive when investigating a possible security breach.
Phishing Techniques
- Hackers often raise the trust level of a phishing message by modeling the email to look similar to the internal email used by the target company, including using logos, formatting, and names of the target company.
- The time a hacker spends performing research to locate this information about a company is known as Reconnaissance.
Types of Viruses
- A Stealth/Tunneling virus tries to hide from anti-virus programs by actively altering and corrupting the chosen service call interruptions when they are being run.
Gray-Box Testing Methodology
- The Gray-box testing methodology enforces the restriction that the internal operation of a system is only partly accessible to the tester.
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
- The purpose of a demilitarized zone on a network is to provide a place to put the nodes that need to be exposed to the Internet, while protecting the network behind it.
Linux Commands
- The
host -t
command is used to resolve a domain name into an IP address.
Shellshock Vulnerability
- Shellshock allowed an unauthorized user to gain access to a server and affected many Internet-facing services.
Footprinting Process
- The
site:
operator can be used in a Google search to restrict the search to a specific web domain.
Docker Architecture
- The Docker daemon is the component of the Docker architecture that can process API requests and handle various Docker objects, such as containers, volumes, images, and networks.
