Transcript: Rhys Jordan Network Security Presentation Malware is very dangerous to any user of technology, especially those without the right protection. People will create these malware to receive personal information, steal money or just destroy the technology. This presentation will explain the different types of malware, what is does and how to stop the malware. Introduction Introduction Spyware is unwanted software that infiltrates your computing device, stealing your internet usage data and sensitive information. Spyware is classified as a type of malware — malicious software designed to gain access to or damage your computer, often without your knowledge. Spyware Spyware Solution You can install anti-spyware software on your computer, and the anti-spyware capabilities are included in many anti-virus or anti-malware packages. You can also use a firewall. Solution A computer virus is a program that replicates itself by modifying other programs and creating its own code to mess up your computer Viruses Viruses Solution Computer networks in seven major regional hospitals were locked down for more 24 hours after a widespread computer virus attack shut booking systems, delayed surgeries and reignited fears over patient information security. Solution In computing, a Trojan horse, or Trojan, is any malware which misleads users of its true intent. The term is derived from the Ancient Greek story of the deceptive Trojan Horse that led to the fall of the city of Troy. Trojans Trojans A computer worm is a computer program that replicates itself in order to get to other computers. Often, it uses a computer network to spread itself, relying on security failures on the target computer to access it. Worms Worms In computing, a denial-of-service attack is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet. DDOS Attacks DDOS attacks Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid. Ransomware Ransomware In conclusion learning about software is an easier way to prevent from malware giving out personal information to another user. Conclusion Conclusion

Importance of the Internet & IT *A kind of global meeting place where people from all parts of the world can communicate with each other. *The "internet" is a gigantic library, as well as a world-wide message board, telephone network, and publishing medium. *It is open 24 hours a day, and you can find anything you want there; information about almost any subject is available in depth and up to date. Some of the things that you can do via the Internet are: E-mail: send and receive instant electronic messages, which works like writing letters. Your messages are delivered instantly to people anywhere in the world. Access Information: Any kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet. The ‘search engines’ on the Internet can help you to find data on any subject that you need. Online Shopping: There are many online stores and sites that can be used to look for products as well as buy them using your credit card. You do not need to leave your house and can do all your shopping from the convenience of your home. Downloading Software: download games, music, videos, movies, and a host of other entertainment software from the Internet, most of which are free. Information Technology is related to studying, designing and developing the information related to computers. In business: There are many businesses which are in need of the software packages for satisfying their operational as well as functional needs. Education: helps the students as well as the teachers in studying the course material easily because of fast access. Studying the subjects with the help of online libraries and dictionaries has made grasping and increasing the knowledge easy for the students. Computer Security Threats As Internet and e-mail become an ever-increasing part of our 21st-century lives, the myriad dangers and risks that come with them are increasing too. What is a hacker? The term hacker was once used to describe a clever programmer. Today, it’s applied to those who exploit security vulnerabilities to break into a computer system. You can think of it as electronic burglary. Hackers regularly break into both individual computers and large networks. Once they have access, they may install malicious programs, steal confidential data, or perhaps use compromised computers to distribute spam. Types of hacking and threats Viruses A software virus is a parasitic program written intentionally to alter the way your computer operates without your permission or knowledge. A virus attaches copies of itself to other files such as program files or documents and is inactive until you run an infected program or open an infected document. When activated, a virus may damage or delete files, cause erratic system behavior, display messages or even erase your hard disk. A virus may spread through email and instant messenger attachments, through infected files on floppy disks or CD-ROMs, or by exploiting a security flaw in Microsoft Windows. Macro Viruses Macro viruses are malicious macro programs that are designed to replicate themselves from file to file and can cause damage to the files on your computer. They spread whenever you open an infected file. Macros can be written in documents created by Microsoft Word, in spreadsheets created by Microsoft Excel and in many other kinds of documents. Trojan Horses Trojan horses are programs that appear to serve some useful purpose or provide entertainment, which encourages you to run them. But these programs also serve a covert purpose, which may be to damage files, to place a virus on your computer or to allow a hacker to gain access to your machine. More commonly these days, you can be enticed into running a Trojan by clicking a link on a viral web site or in an email. Worms Worms are programs that replicate and spread, often opening a back door to allow hackers to gain access to the computers that they infect. Worms can spread over the Internet by exploiting security flaws in the software of computers that are connected to the Internet. Worms can also spread by copying themselves from disk to disk or by email. Zombies A Zombie is a dormant program that lies inactive on a computer. It can be activated remotely to aid a collective attack on another computer. Zombies don’t normally damage the computer on which they reside but can damage other computers. Zombies often arrive as email attachments and when the attachment is opened they install themselves secretly and then wait to be activated. Phishing A Phishing attack is when you are sent an email that asks you to click on a link and re-enter your bank or credit card details. These emails can pretend to be from banks, Internet service providers,

Transcript: It is difficult to predict as it needs a lot of work Speed is most particular problem to keep up to pace for security devices Another challenge security faces is ubiquity; even other devices will need security implemented like automobiles, cell phones, digital assistants and refrigerators. Joshi et al. [JOS01] states there are seven different models that could be used for access control in network applications What is a network? network consists of the combination of more than one system in place. If one system fails it does not block users to continue. If this occurs, computing tasks are shifted to another system to continue tasks at hand. Increased reliability What is a network Advantages of computing networks Types of threats Security controls Future of security Network Threats Anonymity- when attacker is not in direct contact of the system and attacks from far locations. Many points of attack- file is stored in a network which is remote from user. The file then passes through other hosts to be received by the user. Sharing- more easier approach when attacking networks. they enable their resources making more users to have the access not just on single computers but to the networked system. complexity of the system unknown perimeter unknown path- sending a file may not be received through traveling to many hosts and attacker gains access Advantages of networks Most important tool used in network security –Encryption can be used to secure an entire network –Or to secure a specific communication difficult for anyone to alter data encrypted unless breaking through encryption but takes long process to figure Type of encryption – Link encryption: protection between two hosts – End-to-end encryption: between two applications By Jason Patto 17766526 Outline of presentation Leads to reducing maintenance + storage cost by gaining improved access to all users Purchasing device individually may be expensive but to share the resources can be worth the purchase References Example of future network security Strong authentication Access control lists are implemented through routers –deny any access of any hosts which are being spammed with packets. Routers are configured and could remove all packets within that specific host. Routers observed as good point for access control through handling packets that are received and sent out within a subnetwork. Firewalls better approach with large-scale + general traffic screening than routers.

Expandability Encryption Connection of two or more devices over a medium through use of hardware and software which communication gets enabled. Encryption Strong authentication Access controls Wireless security Controls of security Network Security The amount of usage within single system varies through amount of users that join but also leave a network. Shifting the workload that is within a heavily loaded system to a underutilized one can benefit the network.

Transcript: Productivity improves. Network configuration and reconfiguration is easier. Faster. Less expensive. Ease of integration with other networks and network components. Network Injection Network Security Presentation By Salman Khalid (12) Morning Min-kyu Choi Rosslin John Robles Chang-hwa Hong Tai-hoon Kim School of Multimedia, Hannam University, Daejeon, Korea A Denial-of-Service attack occurs when an attacker continually bombards a targeted AP or network with bogus requests, premature successful connection messages, failure messages, and/or other commands. These cause legitimate users to not be able to get on the network and may even cause the network to crash. Wireless Network Attack Counter measure to DoS Malicious Association Advantages Of Wireless Communication Wireless Network Attacks Denial Of Services Attackers log into a computer which is set up as a soft AP. Once this is done, the hacker connects to a real access point through another wireless card offering a steady flow of traffic through the transparent hacking computer to the real network. The hacker can then sniff the traffic. The wireless networks consist of four basic components: Radio frequencies Access points Client devices (laptops, PDAs, etc.) Users. Each of these components provides an avenue for attack... Accidental association Accidental association Malicious association Ad-hoc networks Non-traditional networks Identity theft (MAC spoofing) Man-in-the-middle attacks Denial of service Network injection Caffe Latte attack When a user turns on a computer and it latches on to a wireless access point from a neighboring company’s overlapping network, the user may not even know that this has occurred. However, it is a security breach in that proprietary company information is exposed and now there could exist a link from one company to the other. Signal-Hiding Techniques Communications "through air" (radio frequencies) risk of interception is greater than wired networks. Loss Of Confidentiality Loss Of Integrity, Not maintaining availability of the information and information systems. Unauthorized accesspoints. Broadcasted SSIDs. Spoofed MAC addresses. Ad-hoc Network The cracker injects bogus networking re-configuration commands that affect routers, switches, and intelligent hubs. A whole network can be brought down in this manner and require rebooting or even reprogramming of all intelligent networking devices. Wireless Network Attacks Non-traditional networks such as personal network Bluetooth devices are not safe. These nontraditional networks can be easily overlooked by IT personnel who have narrowly focused on laptops and access points. Disadvantage of Wireless Networking Most wireless systems allow some kind of MAC filtering to only allow authorized computers with specific MAC IDs to gain access and utilize the network. Wireless Network Attacks Components Of Wirelesss Network Non Traditional Networks Encryption techniques Wireless Network Attacks Securing Wireless Transmissions Wireless Network Attack Research Paper Vulnerabilities, Threats and Countermeasures (2008) BY Wireless Network Attacks “Malicious associations” are when wireless devices can be actively made by crackers to connect to a company network through their cracking laptop instead of a company access point (AP). These types of laptops are known as “soft APs” and are created when a cracker runs some software that makes his/her wireless network card look like a legitimate access point. Once the cracker has gained access, he/she can steal passwords, launch attacks on the wired network, or plant trojans. Man-in-the-middle attacks Identity theft Make it difficult to locate and intercept the wireless signals. Use of encryption to preserve confidentiality Ensure secure APs Turn off identifier broadcasting Change the identifier on your router from the default Change your router’s pre-set password for administration Allow only specific computers to access your wireless network Ad-hoc networks can pose a security threat. Ad-hoc networks are defined as peer-to-peer networks between wireless computers that do not have an access point in between them. While these types of networks usually have little protection, encryption methods can be used to provide security. Wireless Network Attack Wireless Network Security THANKS
