Study Notes
Network Security
- Network segmentation isolates subnets, improving security, performance, and manageability.
- Application whitelisting allows only pre-approved applications to run, blocking harmful ones.
- Viruses require a host file to spread while worms spread autonomously.
Keystroke-Sniffing
- The
dump keyscommand is used to capture keystrokes during a keystroke-sniffing attack. -
get_timeoutscommand displays current timeout configurations in Meterpreter.
SMB
- SMB (Server Message Block) is a common network service.
- Exploitable vulnerabilities in SMB can lead to attacks.
- SMB versions include 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1.1.
Metasploit
- Metasploit is a penetration testing tool.
- Karma Toolkit combines with Metasploit for wireless network testing.
- Meterpreter supports various protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, TCP), enabling firewall bypass.
Wireless Penetration Testing
- Wireless penetration testing assesses wireless network security to identify vulnerabilities.
- Wireless penetration testing involves assessing wireless network security to identify vulnerabilities.
- A common method for VNC injection is using Metasploit to inject a VNC server.
Network Services
- Common exploitable network services include SMB, SSH, FTP, Telnet, HTTP/HTTPS, and RDP.
Security Concepts
- Intrusion Detection Prevention System (IDPS) are used to detect and block malicious activities.
- Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) are indicators of malicious activities.
- Security tools are used to detect Android Backdoors.
Social Engineering
- Social engineering exploits human psychology to deceive users into performing actions that compromise their systems, such as clicking malicious links.
Common PDF Vulnerabilities
- Malicious JavaScript can be embedded into PDF files to execute code when opened.
- Exploiting vulnerabilities in PDF readers can allow attackers to execute malicious code.
- PDF files can have embedded malicious files that execute upon opening.
Android Backdoors
- Unusual network traffic, unauthorized apps with elevated permissions, and battery drain or overheating are indicators of an Android backdoor.
Evil Twin Attacks
- Evil Twin attacks create fake Wi-Fi access points to deceive users.
- Evil Twin attacks involve creating a fake Wi-Fi access point to deceive users.
- Tools like
airmon-ng,airbase-ng,Wireshark, anddnsmasqhelp perform this attack.
SMB Relay attacks
- SMB relay attacks have several stages to complete the attack.
- Tools for SMB relay attacks include Responder, Impacket, Metasploit, and NTLMRelayX.
- SMB relay attacks involves multiple targets or stages.
VNC Injection
- VNC injection injects a VNC server into a compromised system for remote access.
- Multiple security measures should be used for VNC connections to secure them.
- VNC injection can be used to bypass local authentication and gain remote control.
Protecting VNC Connections
- Use strong passwords.
- Enable encryption (like TLS).
- Restrict access by IP address.
- Use VPN/SSH tunneling.
Meterpreter Anti-Forensics
- Clearing logs, file deletion, persistence, and obfuscation.
- Meterpreter anti-forensics methods are used to hide malicious activity.
Keylogging and Screen Capture
- Keylogging tracks and records keystrokes.
- Screen capture involves taking snapshots or videos of a user's screen.
- Keylogging and screen capture tools are used to extract data.
Protecting PDF Files
- Avoid opening unknown or suspicious PDF files.
- Update PDF readers to patch vulnerabilities.
