Defining Penetration Testing Penetration testing attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in order to help: Uncover new vulnerabilities Provide a clearer picture of their nature Determine how they could be used against the organization The most important element in a “pen test” is the first step: planning A lack of planning can result in creep, which is an expansion beyond the initial set of the test’s limitations The most dangerous result of poor planning is creating unnecessary legal issues Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Why Conduct a Test? A scan of network defenses usually finds only surface problems to be addressed Many network scans are automated and provide only limited verification of vulnerabilities A penetration test can find deep vulnerabilities and attempts to exploit vulnerabilities using manual techniques The attacks: Must be the same as those used by a threat actor Should follow the thinking of threat actors Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

(1 of 3) Internal Security Personnel Advantages to using internal employees include: There is little or no additional cost The test can be conducted much more quickly An in-house pen test can be used to enhance the training of employees and raise the awareness of security risks Disadvantages of using internal security employees: Inside knowledge Lack of expertise Reluctance to reveal Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Who Should Perform the Test? (2 of 3) External Pen Tester Consultants Contracting with an external pen testing consultant offers the following advantages: Expertise Credentials Experience Focus A disadvantage of using external consultants is the usage of the information uncovered A contractor who conducts a pen test learns all about an organization’s network and may receive extremely sensitive information about systems and how to access them This knowledge could be sold to a competitor Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

Knowledge Check Activity 1 What is the first step in penetration testing and what is its importance? a. Planning, because a lack of planning can result in legal issues. b. Targeting, because the pen tester must know which systems to attempt to penetrate. c. Targeting; the targets will determine which tools are needed for the pen test. d. Planning, but this step can often be skipped if the tester is in a hurry. Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved.

Knowledge Check Activity 1: Answer What is the first step in penetration testing and what is its importance? Answer: a. Planning, because a lack of planning can result in legal issues. Planning is the first step and is not an optional step. A lack of planning can result not only in a poorly defined penetration test but also in legal issues.

Rules of Engagement (1 of 5) Rules of engagement in a penetration test are its limitations or parameters Categories for rules of engagement are: Timing Scope Authorization Exploitation Communication Cleanup Reporting Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Rules of Engagement (2 of 5) Timing The timing parameter sets when the testing will occur Some considerations include: the start and stop dates of the test and should the active portions of the pen test be conducted during normal business hours Scope Scope involves several elements that define the relevant test boundaries: Environment Internal targets External targets Target locations Other boundaries Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Rules of Engagement (3 of 5) Authorization Authorization is the receipt of prior written approval to conduct the pen test A formal written document must be signed by all parties before a pen test begins Exploitation The exploitation level in a pen test should be part of the scope that is discussed in the planning stages Communication The pen tester should communicate with the organization during the following occasions: Initiation Incident response Status Emergency Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Rules of Engagement (4 of 5) Cleanup The pen tester must ensure that everything related to the pen test has been removed Cleanup involves removing all software agents, scripts, executable binaries, temporary files, and backdoors from all affected systems Any credentials that were changed should be restored and any usernames created should be removed Reporting Once the pen test is completed, a report should be generated to document its objectives, methods used, and results The report should be divided into two parts: An executive summary designed for a less technical audience A more technical summary written for security professionals Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

Performing a Penetration Test (1 of 4) Performing a successful pen test involves determination, resolve, and perseverance A variety of actions take place when performing a pen test, however, they can be grouped into two phases: Reconnaissance Penetration Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Performing a Penetration Test (2 of 4) Phase 1: Reconnaissance The first task is to perform preliminary information gathering from outside the organization (called footprinting) Information can be gathered using two methods: active reconnaissance and passive reconnaissance Active reconnaissance involves directly probing for vulnerabilities and useful information War driving is searching for wireless signals from an automobile or on foot while using a portable device War flying uses drones, which are officially known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) A disadvantage of active reconnaissance is that the probes are likely to alert security professionals that something unusual is occurring Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Performing a Penetration Test (3 of 4) Phase 1: Reconnaissance (continued) Passive reconnaissance occurs when the tester uses tools that do not raise any alarms This may include searching online for publicly accessible information called open source intelligence (OSINT) that can reveal valuable insight about the system Phase 2: Penetration A pen test is intended to simulate the actions of a threat actor The initial system compromised usually does not contain the data that is the goal of the attack That system usually serves as a gateway for entry into an organization network Once inside the network, threat actors turn to other systems to be compromised until they reach the ultimate target Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Performing a Penetration Test (4 of 4) Phase 2: Penetration (continued) Lessons to be learned from how threat actors work include: When a vulnerability is discovered, the pen tester must determine how to pivot (turn) to another system using another vulnerability to continue moving toward the target Vulnerabilities that are not part of the ultimate target can still provide a gateway to the target Pen tests are manual, therefore, a pen tester needs to design attacks carefully Pen testers must be patent and persistent, just like the threat actors Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

Knowledge Check Activity 2 What are the two primary phases of penetration testing in order? a. Penetration, escalation b. Penetration, pivoting c. Reconnaissance, footprinting d. Reconnaissance, penetration Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Knowledge Check Activity 2: Answer What are the two primary phases of penetration testing in order? Answer: d. Reconnaissance, penetration Reconnaissance is a necessary first phase because proper reconnaissance gathers the information needed to perform a proper penetration test. Reconnaissance is followed by the second phase; the actual attempt at penetration. Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

Vulnerability Scanning Vulnerability scanning in some ways complements pen testing Studying vulnerability scanning involves understanding: What it is How to conduct a scan How to use data management tools How threat hunting can enhance scanning Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. What is a Vulnerability Scan? A penetration test is a single event using a manual process often performed only after a specific amount of time has passed A vulnerability scan is a frequent and ongoing process that continuously identifies vulnerabilities and monitors cybersecurity progress Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Conducting a Vulnerability Scan (1 of 6) Conducting a vulnerability scan involves: Knowing what to scan and how often Selecting a type of scan Interpreting vulnerability information When and What to Scan Two primary reasons for not conducting around-the-clock vulnerability scans: Workflow interruptions Technical constraints A more focused approach is to know the location of data so that specific systems with high-value data can be scanned more frequently Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Conducting a Vulnerability Scan (3 of 6) Because a vulnerability scan should be limited, a configuration review of software settings should be conducted Define the group of target devices to be scanned Ensure that a scan should be designed to meet its intended goals Determine the sensitivity level or the depth of a scan Specify the data types to be scanned Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Conducting a Vulnerability Scan (4 of 6) Types of Scans Two major types of scans are credentialed scans and intrusive scans In a credentialed scan, valid authentication credentials are supplied to the vulnerability scanner to mimic the work of a threat actor who possesses these credentials A non-credentialed scan provides no such authentication information An intrusive scan attempts to employ any vulnerabilities that it finds A nonintrusive scan does not attempt to exploit the vulnerability but only records that it was discovered Vulnerability Information Vulnerability scanning software compares the software it scans against a set of known vulnerabilities Vulnerability information is available to provide updated information to scanning software about the latest vulnerabilities Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Conducting a Vulnerability Scan (5 of 6) Examining Results When examining the results of a vulnerability scan, you should assess the importance of vulnerability as well as its accuracy Questions that may help identify which vulnerability needs early attention: Can the vulnerability be addressed in a reasonable amount of time? Can the vulnerability be exploited by an external threat actor? If the vulnerability led to threat actors infiltrating the system, would they be able to pivot to more important systems? Is the data on the affected device sensitive or is it public? Is the vulnerability on a critical system that runs a core business process? Another part of prioritizing is making sure that the difficulty and time for implementing the correction is reasonable Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Conducting a Vulnerability Scan (6 of 6) Examining Results (continued) Another consideration when examining results is accuracy Be sure to identify false positives, which is an alarm raised when there is no problem A means to identify false positives is to correlate the vulnerability scan data with several internal data points Most common are related to log files Log reviews, or an analysis of log data, can be used to identify false positives Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

Data Management Tools (3 of 3) SIEMS can also perform sentiment analysis, which is the process of computationally identifying and categorizing opinions to determine the writer’s attitude toward a particular topic Sentiment analysis has been used when tracking postings threat actors make in discussion forums with other attackers to better determine the behavior and mindset of threat actors Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) A SOAR is similar to a SIEM in that it is designed to help security teams manage and respond to security warnings and alarms SOARs combine more comprehensive data gathering and analytics to automate incident responses Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

Threat Hunting Threat hunting is proactively searching for cyber threats that thus far have gone undetected in a network It begins with a critical premise: threat actors have already infiltrated our network It proceeds to find unusual behavior that may indicate malicious activity Threat hunting investigations often use crowdsourced attack data such as: Advisories and bulletins Cybersecurity threat feeds – data feeds of information on the latest threats Information from a fusion center – a formal repository of information from enterprises and the government used to share information on the latest attacks Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

Knowledge Check Activity 3 Which of the following is NOT typically a feature of a SIEM? a. Aggregation b. Remediation c. Correlation d. Event duplication Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Knowledge Check Activity 3: Answer Which of the following is NOT typically a feature of a SIEM? Answer: b. Remediation The typical features found in a SIEM are aggregation, correlation, automated triggers and alerts, time synchronization, event duplication, and logs. A SIEM provides analysis and reporting but does not commonly provide remediation of security events.

Regulations The process of adhering to regulations is called regulatory compliance Industry regulations are typically developed by established professional organizations or government agencies using the expertise of seasoned security professionals Sample of cybersecurity regulations categories: Broadly applicable regulations Industry-specific regulations U.S. state regulations International regulations Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Legislation Specific legislation can also be enacted by governing bodies These include national, territorial, and state laws Due to a lack of comprehensive federal regulations for data breach notification, many states have amended their breach notification laws from the basic definitions No two state laws are the same Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Standards A standard is a document approved through consensus by a recognized standardization body It provides for framework, rules, guidance, or characteristics for products or related processes and production methods One cybersecurity standard is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Mark Ciampa, CompTIA Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals, 7th Edition. © 2022 Cengage.

Many schools, especially high schools, restrict IT students from accessing the tools used to perform penetration testing and vulnerability scanning for fear that students will use them for nefarious purposes. Is this a valid concern? Why or why not? Is there a way students can learn about these tools in a manner that is safe and that will ease school administrators’ concerns? 2. Each student should provide a response to the question. 3. If this is an online class, responses can be posted in the discussion board and each student should respond with a minimum of 100 words. To encourage interaction, each student should post a minimum 25-word response to another student’s post.
