Threat & Vulnerability Management
In the world of cybersecurity, essential building blocks include understanding career roles, basic terms, types of threats & common security threats. Being aware of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), diIerent hacker types & malware is crucial. Recognizing vulner- abilities helps implement eIective measures, while information security governance & standards are essential. Cybersecurity professionals play significant roles in safeguarding digital assets. Regular penetration testing to assess weaknesses is necessary, following established standards for optimal protection.
Cyber attacks include eavesdropping, replay attacks, man-in-the-middle, session hijack- ing, drive-by downloads, DDoS, DNS spoofing, ARP spoofing, wireless attacks, social engineering, masquerading, side-channel attacks, pass-the-hash, Kerberos exploitation, elevation of privilege, typo squatting, and zero-day attacks. Stay vigilant to ensure digital security.
Network security involves various key elements for safeguarding data and systems. The OSI layers facilitate communication between devices. Secure protocols like TLS, HTTPS, SSH, SFTP, DNSSEC, S/MIME, SMTPS, POP3S, and IMAPS ensure encrypted and authen- ticated data transfer. AAA protocols like RADIUS, TACACS+, and Active Directory handle authentication and authorization. EAP, WPA2, and WPA3 enhance wireless securi- ty, while VPN enables secure remote connections. Virtual LAN (VLAN) and network segmentation isolate and organize network trac. Zero Trust Architecture ensures strict access controls. Proxy devices, content filters, and port security fortify network defens- es. Single Sign-On and Federated Identity simplify user authentication. Network Access Control (NAC) verifies and manages device access.
Kali Linux, a popular tool for hackers, requires manual partition during installation and
configuration. Linux, as an operating system, is compared to Windows, and its fundamen- tals are introduced. Basic commands, user management, permissions, and processes are covered. Understanding the file system and booting process is essential, including the role of the kernel in Linux.
Penetration testing involves planning and executing in stages. The process begins with careful Penetration Testing Planning, followed by conducting the actual test. During testing, ensuring Anonymity & Privacy is crucial to maintain confidentiality and security.
Information gathering in cybersecurity involves various techniques. Open-Source Intelli- gence (OSINT) gathers data from publicly available sources. Google Hacking or Google Dorking leverages specific search queries to uncover sensitive information. Recon-ng and theHarvester are tools for automated

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing
It involves protecting computer systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. Key roles include Security Analysts, Ethical Hackers, and Incident Response Specialists. Threats are potential dangers like malware and phishing, exploiting vulnerabilities such as weak pass- words. Advanced Persistent Threats are sophisticated, long-term attacks. There are three types of hackers: White Hat (ethical), Black Hat (malicious), and Grey Hat (mixed intentions). Malware includes viruses, worms, Trojans, and ransomware. Information Security Governance sets policies, like ISO 27001 and PCI DSS. Network basics include LAN, WAN, WLAN, rout- ers, switches, and firewalls. Secure protocols like TLS, HTTPS, VPN, and EAP enhance security. Network segmentation and Zero Trust Architecture limit access for better protection.
Penetration tests are performed to identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and enhance security measures. There are three approaches: Black Box (no information given), Grey Box (limited info), and White Box (full info). Types of penetration testing include Network, Web Applica- tion, Client-Side, Wireless, Social Engineering, and Physical. The process involves pre-en- gagement interactions, intelligence gathering, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, and post-exploitation. Standards like OSSTMM, OWASP, NIST, PTES, and ISSAF guide and ensure the quality and eIectiveness of penetration testing.
Kali Linux, a popular tool for hackers, requires manual partition during installation and config- uration. Linux, as an operating system, is compared to Windows, and its fundamentals are introduced. Basic commands, user management, permissions, and processes are covered.
Understanding the file system and bootig process is essential, including the role of the kernel in Linux.
Anonymity and privacy are vital in the digital age to safeguard personal information and online activities. The internet is divided into three layers: Surface (search engines and web- sites), Deep (password-protected content), and Dark Web (hidden and anonymous websites). TOR (The Onion Router) is an anonymity network used to access the Dark Web and protect user identity by routing trac through multiple servers. TOR Browser provides a user-friendly interface for anonymous browsing. Kali Linux can be anonymized for secure penetration testing. TAILS OS is a privacy-focused operating system that leaves no traces on the host machine. Secure communication on the Deep and Dark Web is essential for anonymity. VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts internet trac and masks IP addresses for enhanced privacy. VPN protocols like OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, and IKEv2 ensure secure connections. Proxies also help in hiding IP addresses, providing another layer of anonymity.
OSINT Framework, TraceLabs, Raccoon, Twint, Sherlock, PhoneInfoga, Shodan, Maltego, and Google Hacking (Google Dorking) are powerful tools used for OSINT investigations.
Recon-ng and theHarvester are tools for collecting data from various sources. OSINT can be conducted on images by reversing and geolocating them. Google Earth is utilized for geospa- tial OSINT. Additionally, time calculation from the shadow of an image can provide valuable information in OSINT investigations.
Scanning is a crucial phase in network reconnaissance, where tools and techniques are used to gather information about target systems. Nmap is a widely used scanning tool. DiIerent types of scanning include TCP Connect, SYN, UDP, and Full Open scans. DNS enumeration involves discovering domain-related information. ICMP is a network protocol used for error reporting and diagnostic messages. FTP, SMB, SMTP, and SNMP are protocols with specific enumeration techniques to identify services and vulnerabilities. PowerShell, Sparta, and Zenmap are powerful tools to aid in scanning and information gathering during penetration testing and cybersecurity assessments.
