System Hardening and Networking week 4

 

In computer networking, static and dynamic routing are two routing protocols. Static routing is a manual process where the network administrator manually enters the routes in the routing table. It does not use complex routing algorithms and provides high security. However, it is difficult to configure and is implemented in small networks. On the other hand, dynamic routing is an automated process that changes the routing table according to the change in topology. It uses complex routing algorithms and does not provide high security like static routing. However, it is easy to configure and is implemented in large networks. Dynamic routing requires additional resources and more bandwidth than static routing. When the network change occurs, it sends the message to the router to ensure that changes, and then the routes are recalculated to send updated routing information.

  There are several tools available for identifying systems present on a network before conducting vulnerability tests .  One such tool is the Nessus Vulnerability Scanner. Nessus is a widely used vulnerability scanner that can identify IT assets, web applications, and cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities . It is designed to assess the modern attack surface and can be used to extend beyond traditional IT assets. Nessus is trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide and is considered the gold standard for vulnerability assessment. I like this tool because it helps network administrators access organizational threats .

  The  Application layer  is the seventh and highest layer of the OSI and TCP/IP models. It specifies the shared communication protocols and interface methods hosts use in a communications network. The protocols in the Application layer are responsible for providing services to the user, such as file transfer, email, and web browsing.

  A Virtual Private Network (VPN) enables secure remote access to corporate resources. Critical aspects of VPN policies include: Connection Procedures: Employees with VPN privileges must ensure unauthorized users are not allowed access. VPNs should enforce robust authentication methods and secure data transmission. Security Measures: VPN users must comply with information security policies, use up-to-date anti-virus software, and configure their equipment correctly. Impact Assessment: Microsoft recently faced DDoS attacks that disrupted services like Outlook and OneDrive. While DDoS attacks mainly cause inconvenience, they can disturb global commerce if they affect critical services.
