Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 89 today we're going to discuss about The first part of securing your organization is maintaining a good perimeter defense around your building.Now based on your organization this is going to have different requirements based on what kind of work you do.For example, if you work for the government or the military, you may be dealing with classified information and if that's the case you may see a big...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and i am glad to have you back on my episode 88 today we're going to discuss about Physical security.Physical security is really important to your organization's network security.After all, if an attacker is able to touch your network,your server, or your work stations,they can take control over those devices and do whatever they want with them.While we've been talking a lot in this course about all of the logical protections you can put in...

Hello everyone welcome to the show "Ethical Hacking" episode 87 today we are going to discuss about We just spent a lot of time talking about wireless networks, but there are other wireless networks out there besides Wi-Fi.These include things like Bluetooth,RFID, Near Field Communication, cellular,GPS, and satellite communications.Previously, we've talked about some vulnerabilities with Bluetooth.I want to remind you of two big terms when it comes to Bluetooth.This is bluejacking and...

Hello everyone welcome to the show "Ethical Hacking" episode 86 today we are going to discuss about So we've talked about securing our wireless networks.Let's now spend a few minutes talking about the different types of attacks that focus on our wireless networks.The first is war driving.War driving is the act of searching for wireless networks by driving around until you find them.You could try this tonight. You can go sit in the backseat of your car,have your friend or your wife,drive you...

Hello everyone welcome to the show "Ethical Hacking" episode 85 today we are going to discuss about Wireless access points.In addition to selecting the right encryption,it's also important to select the right placement and configuration of your wireless access points,in order for you to achieve a good security posture.Most small office, home office wireless system rely on a single point to multi-point setup.This relies on having a single access point that services all of the wireless...

Hello everyone welcome to the show "Ethical Hacking" episode 84 today we are going to discuss about Wireless encryption. Another huge vulnerability in wireless networks is the encryption that you choose to use.In this lesson, we're going to do a quick review of wireless encryption types,that you learned back in your Network Plus studies.The reason for this is because encryption of your data being transmitted is going to be paramount to increasing the security of your wireless networks.Now,...

Hello everyone welcome to the show "Ethical Hacking" episode 83 today we are going to discuss about Securing WiFi devices.Wireless devices are much less secure than our traditional networks because their data streams are simply flying through the air,waiting to be gobbled up by some attacker sitting out there.When we talked about wire tapping in the last lesson,we talked about having to gain access to the network physically.Well, with a wireless network that challenge is eliminated because...

Hello everyone welcome to the show "Ethical Hacking" episode 82 today we are going to discuss about Securing network media.Network media is the cabling that makes up our network.This can be copper,fiber optic, or coaxial.And they're going to be used as a connectivity method inside of our wired networks.Now, in addition to all the cables there's other parts of the cabling plant we have to think about.All those intermediate devices like patch panels, punch-down blocks,and network jacks all make...

Hello everyone welcome to the show "Ethical Hacking" episode 81 today we are going to discuss about Securing network devices.Network devices include things like switches, routers,firewalls, IDS, IPS, and more.Each of these different devices has its own vulnerabilities that have to be addressed.But for the security.we're going to focus on the most common vulnerabilities across all of these different devices.The first vulnerability we're going to talk about is default accounts.These are...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 80 today we're going to discuss about In this section of the course,we're going to talk about securing your wired and wireless networks.We're going to start out with wired network devices,things like switches and routers,and then we'll move into the cabling that helps put all these networks together.After that, we're going to start talking about wireless networks and how we can better secure them and...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 79 today we're going to discuss about In the last lesson, we talked about the concept of DNS poisoning.In this lesson, I want to cover the concept of ARP poisoning with you fairly quickly.Now ARP stands for the address resolution protocol,like you learned back in Network Plus,and it's used to convert an IP address into a MAC address.If you remember back from Network Plus and our OSI model lesson,as...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 78 today we're going to discuss about DNS attacks.There are four different DNS attacks that you have to know for the security.There're DNS poisoning, unauthorized zone transfers,altered hosts files, and domain name kiting.Now, DNS poisoning occurs when the name resolution information is modified in the DNS server's cache.This modification of the data is done to redirect client computers to fraudulent...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 77 today we're going to discuss about Transitive attacks.Transitive attacks aren't really an actual type of attack but more of a conceptual method.It gets its name from the Transitive Property we learned back in mathematics.Essentially, the Transitive Property says that if A equals B and B equals C,then by all logic, A also equals C.Now, when it comes to Security ,and they talk about the idea of a...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 76 today we're going to discuss about Replay attacks.A replay attack is a network-based attack where valid data transmissions are fraudulently or maliciously re-broadcast,repeated or delayed.This works a lot like a session hijack but it's a little bit different.With a session hijack,the attacker is trying to modify the information being sent and received at real time but with a replay attack,we're...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 75 today we're going to discuss about Hijacking, next we have hijacking which is the exploitation of a computer session in an attempt to gain unauthorized access to data,services, or other resources on a computer or server.There are eight types of session hijacking that can be performed.Session theft, TCP/IP hijacking, blind hijacking,clickjacking, Man-in-the-Middle,Man-in-the-Browser, the watering...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 74 today we're going to discuss about Spoofing, spoofing is a category of network attacks that occur when an attacker masquerades as another person by falsifying their identity.Just like a person uses a mask to cover up their face to hide their true identity,spoofing is the electronic equivalent.We have briefly discussed spoofing a few times already,such as in the case of the DNS amplification attack...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 73 today we're going to discuss about We talked about a denial of service attack involving the continual flooding of a victim system with a request for services that causes a system to crash and run out of memory.Now, this usually happens when you're talking about one system attacking one system.But that wasn't enough with modern computers,so we moved up to the distributed denial of service...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 72 today we're going to discuss about In the last lesson we discussed the concept of a denial of service attack,and we went over all of the different types of them, but most modern systems can't be taken down by a single machine attempting a denial of service anymore,so attackers got smarter and they created a distributed denial of service, or DDoS.Now a distributed denial of service attack,instead of...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 71 today we're going to discuss about we're going to focus on the concept of a Denial of Service attack.Now, a Denial of Service attack isn't a specific attack in and of itself,but instead is this category or type of attack that's carried out in a number of different ways.Essentially, the term Denial of Service is used to describe any attack which attempts to make a computer or service resources...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 70 today we're going to discuss about Unnecessary ports.As we've already discussed,there are a lot of ports available for use by your computers and your networks.We started out with 65,536 ports available back in our ports and protocol lesson.Then, we narrowed it down to 35 port that you just had to memorize in the last lesson.But does that mean that all 35 of those are necessary for your computer to...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 69 today we're going to discuss about In security one of the most important things is to ensure that you understand,what openings you have created in your systems.When it comes to computers and networks,most of these openings are going to be created by ports.Now a port is simply a logical communication endpoint that exists on your computer or your server.For example, if you're running a web...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 68 today we're going to discuss about In this section of the course,we're going to discuss network attacks.There are many different types of threats out there and many of them carry out their attacks over your networks.These attacks include things like denial of service attacks,spoofing, hijacking, replays,transitive attacks, DNS attacks,and ARP poisoning.Now, before we get into all of those different...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 67 today we're going to discuss about We have spent a lot of time discussing the cloud in this section.But the cloud is made up of a lot of different types of servers.In this lesson we're going to discuss a few specific types of servers that may be hosted in the cloud,and how you can best secure them.First, we have file servers.File servers are used to store,transfer, migrate, synchronize and archive...

Hello everyone my name is vijay kumar Devireddy and I am glad to have you back on my episode 66 today we're going to discuss about cloud security.Once we begin to rely on virtualization and cloud computing for our deployments,it becomes very important to recognize that our data might be hosted on the same physical server as another organization's data.By doing so, we introduce some vulnerabilities into the security of our systems.First, if the physical server crashes due to something one...
