Study Notes
Network Protocols
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is utilized for network management, gathering statistics, and obtaining the current status of a node.
- Extranet serves as a connection point that bridges access between organizations within a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone).
Subnets and CIDR
- A /26 CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) can create up to 4 subnets.
Encryption and Security Measures
- RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is the encryption algorithm deployed within TLS (Transport Layer Security).
- Establishing a baseline is crucial before deploying an anomaly-based detection system on a network.
- For immediate action during a zero-day SSL attack, updating web servers with the latest virus definitions is an essential first step.
DNS Records
- MX (Mail Exchange) records determine the mail server used in a domain.
- CNAME (Canonical Name) records provide an alias for a domain name.
Memory and Systems
- CPU cache is the memory type with the least availability, being the most volatile.
- In a compromised system, the term "reverse shellcode" describes a scenario where a connection is initiated back to an adversary.
Tools and Commands
- The
grepcommand in Linux is used for searching information. - In Metasploit,
msfencodeis the tool utilized for encoding payloads.
Permissions in Linux
- Besides User and Group, the "Others" object can be assigned permissions in Linux systems.
TCP/IP and OSI Model
- The Internet layer in the TCP/IP model corresponds to the Network layer in the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model.
Security Standards
- ISO 27002 outlines best business practices for information security management.
Scanning and Network Tools
- Angry IP scanner offers ping sweeps and can be considered noisy if not correctly configured.
Session Hijacking and Vulnerabilities
- UDP/IP protocols are known to be vulnerable to session hijacking attacks.
