Anonymous Browsing

7. Cloak of Invisibility
Top reasons why people want to hide their IP address:
1. Hide their geographical location
2. Prevent Web tracking
3. Avoid leaving a digital footprint
4. Bypass any bans or blacklisting of their IP address
5. Perform illegal acts without being detected

8. Onion Routing, Tor Browsing
• Technique for anonymous communication to take place over a network.
The encryption takes place at three different times:
• Entry Node
• Relay Node
• Exit Node
• Tor is made up of volunteers running relay servers. No single router knows
the entire network (only its to and from).
• Tor can bypass internet content filtering, restricted government networks
(like China) or allow people to be anonymous whistle blowers.
• Tor allows you to gain access to “.onion” websites that are not accessible
via a normal web browser.
• Communication on the Dark Web happens, via Web, Telnet, IRC, and other
means of communication being developed daily.

9. Cloak of Invisibility
• How to hide yourself?
• Private VPN
• You want a TOTALLY anonymous service.
• Look for one that keeps no log history (Verify via reviews)
• Look at Bandwidth & Available Servers
• Recommendations:
• Private Internet Access (PIA)
• TorGuard VPN
• Pure VPN
• Opera Web Browser
• Avast AntiVirus (SecureLine)
• Worst Case: Free WIFI

10. Cloak of Invisibility
• How Tor anonymizes – “You”.
• How VPN keeps ”You” protected.

11. Free WiFi
• Sometimes a good alternative if
you need to do something
anonymously
• Nothing is ever 100% anonymous
• Some public wifi does track
websites you access, what you
do, etc.
• Make sure your computer name
you are using doesn’t include your
actual name

12. Best Tips and Practices for being Anonymized
Do
• Use a device that you’ve never
signed into anything ”personal
on”.
• Pro Tip: buy a computer from a
Pawn Shop or Garage Sale
Don’t
• While on a VPN or any other
anonymous tool; don’t sign into
personal accounts (banks, social
media, etc).
• If posting, don’t use anything
that could be associated to you

13. Easy Wins for Privacy
• 10 Minute Email
• https://10minutemail.com/
• Temporarily get an email box that’s anonymous and disappears after 10
minutes
• Dr Cleaner (Mac) or Eraser (Win) can overwrite files on your
computer with “blank” data to make file recovery near impossible.
• Tools like Recuva is free softwares to allow you to restore deleted files.

14. What People Pay For Your Data
• https://www.fortinet.com/blog/industry-trends/the-true-value-of-
data.html
• Credit Card Numbers: 50 cents to 2.50 per card.
• Bank Account Information (logins/information): $1.00 to $70
• Medical Records: $10-$20

19. Protecting Yourself

20. Google Isn’t Always Your Friend

21. Tools For Use
• Sites to protect yourself all the time (not free)
• IdentityGuard.com
• LifeLock.com
• Sites to monitor when breached data gets related (this is free)
• Haveibeenpwned.com
• Password Management Sites (like lastpass.com)
• Don’t have the same password for all your sites.
• Don’t write your passwords down on a post-it-note and leave it at your desk

24. Dual Factor Authentication
• After logging in; verify login via Email, SMS, or an app with a code.

25. Credit Card Tools for Online Shopping
• Check out Privacy.Com
• https://privacy.com/join/473XB

26. Basic Tips
• Accept only people you know to personal and professional accounts
• Never click on links from people you don’t know.
• Especially if they are using a url shortner: bit.ly, tinyurl.com, etc
• https://www.urlvoid.com/ - test the website to see if its safe
• https://www.site-shot.com/ get a screenshot of what will load on site
• If there are people claiming to be you on social media, it’s best to get
your account “verified” on those social media platforms
• This lets users distinguish that you’re the actual official account
• Dual factor authenticate all of your social media logins

27. Checking Your Accounts / Name Online
• Use this site to check your usernames: https://namechk.com/
• The next is a tool searches through your email with things you may
have signed up for (I've paid for their premium service as well, not
really worth it, the free does just
fine) https://brandyourself.com/privacy-overview.
• This tool: https://email-lookup.online/index.php searches public
searches to see what links. Its similar
to https://www.spokeo.com/email-search.

29. Myths
• I’m/my university not worth being attacked.
• Hackers won’t guess my password.
• I/we have anti-virus software.
• I’ll/we know if I/we been compromised.

30. Understanding Breaches and Hacks
• A hack involves a person or group to gain authorized access to a
protected computer or network
• A breach typically indicates a release of confidential data (including
those done by accident)
• Both of these require different responses if breaches/hacks occur.

31. The Costs Of Breaches
• This year’s study found the average consolidated total cost of a data breach
is 4.45 Million – Ones that use AI save 1.76 Million
https://www.ibm.com/reports/data-breach
• Data Breached Companies Experience…
• People loose faith in your brand
• Loss in patrons
• Financial Costs
• Government Requirements,
Penalties, Fees, etc.
• Sending of Notifications
• Payment of Identity Protection or
repercussions.
https://betanews.com/2016/02/10/the-economic-cost-of-being-hacked/

33. You as a Organization - Obligations
• You are obligated to protect the data and privacy of:
• Employees
• Customers
• Business Partners/Vendors/Etc.
• Sometimes, we forget we house a lot of personal and identifying information about our employees and
customers.
• Employees Social/Payroll/HR
• Customer Records/Accounts/History
• What employees/customers are accessing on the web
• A sniffing tool, key logger, or fake DNS redirects can monitor not only the sites people are accessing but what they use
for their username / password

34. Steps – Communication and Speed!
• Communicate
• People will ask “How long did you know XYZ happened” - know this information before communicating to them
an attack occurred.
• If you discover a breach, hack, or any other compromise that may have the impact of data being stolen or
viewed, you MUST communicate quickly and effectively.
• While every scenario is different and has different factors – groups that move faster with the information they
know (as soon as they know it) they are generally better off long term (ie don’t’ wait months as you “investigate”
the issue. Give people time to protect themselves)
• Don’t over communicate and have one spokesperson
• Be clear and concise. Too many details can be harmful.

35. Other Points on Communication
• Once you know a breach has occurred, by law you are required to
inform customers if their data has been compromised.
• Some states have deadlines of when the announcement has to be made
• Every impacted person must be told that a data breach has
occurred, when it occurred, and what kind of information was
compromised.
• Answer: what are you doing to provide a remedy and should they do
• (next slide)

36. what are you doing to provide a remedy and should they do
You as the Organization
• Build a website with information
about the breach
• Offer a Toll Free number people
to call in for questions
• If the possibility of social
information provide contact
information for Equifax, Experian
and Transunion, and the quick
links for fraud protection.
Them as Impacted Parties
• Fraud Protection (if necessary)
• Request them to change their
passwords if their password was
compromised
• Highlight if they use this password
on OTHER sites to change those
passwords too

39. Step 2 - Investigate
• You will most likely need to hire an outside cyber security
firm – they have the tools and resources to track what might
have been stolen and who stole it.
• Solve which computers and accounts were compromised, which
data was accessed (viewed) or stolen (copied) and whether any
other parties – such as clients, customers, business partners, users,
employees. Was the stolen data encrypted or unencrypted?
• Also involve folks from the people you pay for services
(depending on where the breach occurred) such as ISPs, Web
Hosting Providers, Security Software, Firewall Vendors, etc.
• Contact your local, county or state police computer crimes
unit and the FBI, which can do forensic analyses and provide
valuable guidance

40. Step 3 – More Communication and Follow Up
• If you notify more than 500 impacted people from a breach, many
states will also require you to file a notice with your state attorney
general’s office.
• HIPPA, FERPA, CIPA, and all those other scary acronyms have requirements
and regulations – make sure none of those rules are violated.

41. Legal Stuff
• There are a lot of laws that help a
certain level of security standards.
The landscape of these laws is
evolving as the level of threats
increase.
• There is compliance standards that
organizations should reach for
security as well – as a precaution and
preventive measure to mitigate risk.
• The ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards
helps organizations keep information
assets secure.
• https://www.iso.org/isoiec-27001-
information-security.html

45. What Are Tools Death Eaters use?

46. Spells:
• Man in the Middle
• Sitting between a conversation and either listening or altering the data as its sent
across.
• DNS Spoofing (https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-like-pro-spoof-dns-
lan-redirect-traffic-your-fake-website-0151620/) set up a fake website and let people
login to it.
• D/DoS Attack (Distributed/Denial of Service Attack)
• Directing a large amount of traffic to disrupt service to a particular box or an entire
network.
• Could be done via sending bad traffic or data
• That device can be brought down to an unrecoverable state to disrupt business
operations.
• Sniffing Attacks
• Monitoring of data and traffic to determine what people are doing.

48. BackTrack can get you ALOT
• BackTrack was a Linux distribution that focused on security based on
the Knoppix Linux distribution aimed at digital forensics and
penetration testing use. In March 2013, the Offensive Security team
rebuilt BackTrack around the Debian distribution and released it
under the name Kali Linux.

56. Why have a policy?
Staring Will Ferrell ….

57. Increases Efficiency
• Having a security policy allows you to be consistent in your approach
to issues and how processes should work.
• It should outline how and what to do, and repeatable across your
organization.
• Everyone is doing XYZ the same way and on the same page.

58. Accountability, Discipline, and Penalties
• Think of it as a contract – for legal purposes – that you have taken the steps
needed to secure your organization.

59. Education For Employees
• By reading these policies (and signing them), it helps educate
employees (and users) the sense of ownership for assets and data.
• Everything from advice on choosing the proper passwords, to
providing guidelines for file transfers and data storage, internet access
and rules, will help to increase employees’ overall awareness of
security and how it can be strengthened

60. Addresses Threats and Risks
• A good policy should address all threats, strategies to decrease the
vulnerabilities of those threats, and how to recover if those threats
became actionable.
• This makes the “what do we do if someone hacks our network” a
defined process already and who to call and what to do to mitigate
further damage.

61. Access Definitions and Permissions
• A good policy would outline who accesses what and why. This makes
reporting a security violation easier and streamlined.
• Policies are like bouncers at a night club
• It states who has access to the VIP section of the club, why, and any reasons
to allow entry.
• Without these rules, VIP wouldn’t be really VIP.

62. Types of Policies

63. Types of Policies
• Organizational (or Master) Policy
• Serves as the foundation or blueprint for the whole organization’s
security policy. It is a strategic plan for how to implement and
maintain security throughout the organization.
• Think of it as a high-level document that includes the vision,
objectives, scope, and expendabilities.
• System-specific Policy
• Is usually concerned with a specific system (such as an ILS) or
computer system. It is meant to outline the approved software,
hardware, and methods to secure that system.
• Issue-specific Policy.
• These are more detailed and focused on a functional aspect of a role,
process, or procedure. This helps detail the required levels of security
as well as instructions for staff (and patrons) to abide by to achieve this
level.

64. To Include
• Security Standards
• Outline the rules, instructions, and actions required to meat the goals and
objectives.
• These can be tied to laws or regulations
• Baselines
• Identify the minimum level of security required – and everything must comply
to that minimum. Exceptions should be minimal if nonexistent. Evaluations
or audits must be routinely done – ideally by a third party consultant or a
security team.
• Guidelines
• Practical instructions and recommendations to meet the standards and
baselines. Usually written as operational guides.
• Procedures
• Usually documented in an appendix. A security policy at a high level contains
general directives, the procedure is very detailed and illustrates step-by-step
of how to do specific tasks.

65. Putting It Together
• Your security policy can include “maintain a malware-free computer
system”.
• The standard would be: all computers must have antivirus installed and
updated.
• The baseline states that the computer must be at minimum fully patched,
antivirus installed, updated within the last 7 days.
• Guidelines could be:
• Don’t open untrusted emails and attachments
• Don’t disable or hinder antivirus protection
• Procedure would document how to install the antivirus, how to maintain
updates, etc.

66. Types of Issue Specific Policies
• Change Management Policy
• What happens when a system is upgraded.
• Physical Security Policy
• Can you take company owned assets off network?
• Can your kids use the equipment?
• Email Policy
• What can be sent out? What can be downloaded?
• Internet Policy
• What can you access and why? What happens if something is blocked?
• Facebook – Allowed for Work? *Facebook can contain malicious links*

67. Must Have Policies:
• Media Disposal Policy / Data Retention Policy
• What do you do with old computer assets?
• How long do you back-up and retain “old” files
• Acceptable Use Policy (very common)
• The ”Do’s and Don’ts” of equipment/internet/etc.
• Access Control Policy (often part of new hire/term processes)
• Who has access to what, how is access controlled, how is access terminated /
created.
• Disaster and Recovery / Incident Response Plans

68. Policies on Websites
• Terms and Conditions
• What will be done with accounts, data, access information
• Privacy Policies and Cookies
• If you use Google Analytics you might want to call attention to it.
• IP Address logging?
• Links to third party websites – who is responsible?

69. Other Policies
• Training Process
• How do you do training on security, how frequently, what scores should there
be?
• Information
• How should information be protected and monitored?
• Vendors
• What kind of access is given to vendors. What is the “approval” process

70. Patrons!
• It’s important to put a policy in place and best practice for patrons –
to help limit liability on the library.
• At the end of the day, access to the internet and computer systems is
a privilege and not a right.
• Asset Usage and Internet Usage:
• Do’s and Don’ts – They have to agree and violations are met with restriction
of usage or removal of access.
• What happens if they use it for “illegal” purposes?

73. Why do People Attack?
• Financial Gain
• Stocks
• Getting Paid
• Selling of information
• Data Theft
• For a single person
• For a bundle of people
• Just Because
• Malicious

74. How to navigate and prevent wrong turns

• Anonymous. ...
• LulzSec. ...
• Syrian Electronic Army. ...
• Chaos Computer Club (CCC) ...
• Iran's Tarh Andishan. ...
• The Level Seven Crew. ...
• globalHell.

75. So what Do You Need to Protect?
• Website(s)
• All Stored PII Data
• Employee Computers
• And what they do on them
• User Computers
• And what they do on them
• Network
• And what people do on them
• Stored Data, Files, etc.
• Business Assets
• Personal Assets
• ….anything and everything that is plugged in…

76. Outside
• Modem Router Firewall
Switches
• Servers
End User
• Phones
• Computers
• Laptops

77. Outer Defenses (Routers/Firewalls)
• Site to Site Protection
(Router to Router or Firewall to
Firewall)
• Encrypted over a VPN Connection
• Protection With:
• IDS
• IPS
• Web filtering
• Antivirus at Web Level
• Protecting INBOUND and OUTBOUND

78. Unified Threat Management
• Single Device Security
• All traffic is routed through a unified
threat management device.

79. Areas of Attack On Outer Defense
External Facing Applications
• Anything with an “External IP”
• NAT, ONE to ONE, etc.
• Website
• Custom Built Web Applications
or Services
Internal Applications
• File Shares
• Active Directory (usernames /
passwords)
• User Records
• DNS Routing
• Outbound Network Traffic
• Who is going where

80. Inner Defenses (Switches/Server Configs)
• Protecting Internal Traffic,
Outbound Traffic, and Inbound
Traffic
• Internal Traffic = device to device
• Servers
• Printers
• Computers
• Protected By:
• Software Configurations
• Group Policy
• Password Policy
• Hardware Configurations
• Routing Rules

82. IT Admin Tricks for Security
• Administrative Accounts are easy to figure out if they
are something like “administrator” ”root” or “power
users”. At the same time, no employee should have
their account as a full admin.
• Instead, give them their own username for admin access (like
brian.admin)
• Change the default “login” pages for sites to something
that’s not www.mysitename.com/login. Bots look for
this and attack.
• My Drupal Site login page is www.evolveproject.org/catpower
• User Awareness is key to any secure organization. Teach
users how to identify potential threats and how to
respond quickly.
• Avoid shared accounts. One account should only be
used by one person.

84. Updates, Patches, Firmware
• Keeping your system updated is important.
• Being on the latest and greatest
[software/update/firmware] isn’t always
good.
• Need to test and vet all updates before
implementation
• If you can – build a dev environment to
test and validate.

by applying behavioral analytics to network traffic data.
• Security information and event management, SIEM for short, is
a solution that helps organizations detect, analyze, and respond
to security threats before they harm business operations.

95. Your Security is as Strong As the Weakest Link

96. Tools To Train
• Knowbe4

101. Identifying Threats
• “Act of God”
• Tornado, Flood, Fire
• ”Act of Evil”
• Break-ins, Hacking, Physical Damage, Viruses
• “Act of Error”
• Accidental Deletions, Hardware Failure, Software Glitches
• Loss of Services (could be caused by above)
• Internet, Power, Heating/Cooling, Phone, Building Issues

102. Recoverable Risks
• Risks with Provided Services:
• Internet
• Phone
• Power
• Risks with Created Data
• Corruption
• Loss
• Risk with Owned Systems
• Errors or Corruption
• Failure or Loss

107. A Good recovery plan includes
• Monitoring
• Systems need to be actively monitored
• Recoverable Backups and Systems
• Systems need to have data backed up
• Redundancy
• Systems need to be redundant to mitigate risk of device or service failure,
having failover devices and services is important to ensure uptime.
• TESTING
• I’m going to say this a few times.

108. A Disaster Plan Is About
• Ensuring Redundancy and Recovery
• Planning and Preparation:
• Risk Management
• Risk Assessment
• Risk Mitigation
• Business Continuity
• If a Disaster Occurs:
• Response
• Relief
• Recovery
• Restoration

109. ISPs
Modem Firewall Switches
Servers
Computers
Modem Most latest gen firewalls are able to
handle two internet connections and
“round-robin” and do “failover”
Usually pick two different mediums:
Cable
Telephone
Satellite
…
Having two different internet connections across two
different modems will help mitigate risk of a Service
Provider Failure
Other considerations include hardware failure and
redundancy. Having a spare firewall (or using two firewalls
to load balance) can help mitigate risk.

110. Data Is Expensive
• Financial Records for 7 years
• SOX ( Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 )
• Cost of a “data record”
• On average, the cost of such a record containing healthcare information is
$363 (and also employee records are known to be this much if including social
information
• At the end of May 2015, the Ponemon Institute released its annual “Cost of
Data Breach Study.” Researchers estimated that the average cost of each lost
or stolen record containing sensitive and confidential information was $154.
• Verizon has the concept from a per-record perspective, claiming an average
cost of just 58 cents for each lost or stolen file.

112. What can Happen to My Data?
• It can be corrupted!
• Someone makes changes to a file. Accidental deletion, purposeful
manipulation, script goes rouge.
• Can impact system performance
• It can be lost!
• Server goes down, disappears, etc.
• Spreadsheets, employee files, payroll, flyers, data about events
• Website Data, Catalog Data, Hosted Applications…gone!
• Email!
• Hardware failure

113. Ways to Back Up

114. Monitoring Is Important
• Monitor your servers to prevent issues before they happen. Things to
monitor for:
• Network Drops (means it can be device failure or network issue)
• Temperature of Devices (prevent overheating)
• Server Processes (if a server is running to high for too long something could
be wrong)
• Storage Space (running out of space can corrupt an entire system)
• Memory Usage
• Database Errors

116. NIAGOS

117. PINGDOM

118. Test Your Plan
• Test Your Back Ups
• Do a recovery on a different server
to ensure accuracy and time how
long it takes to recover
• Test Your Redundancy
• Remove a network, server, and
determine if fail over occurs.
• Time these!
• Test Test Test.

• How will the use of Chat GPT, etc. impact Cybersecurity?
• How will AI affect libraries and their resources?

123. Attacks we commonly see through e-mail

124. Impersonation
Some people will create emails of
VIPs to trick you into getting a message to them

125. Spoofing

148. General Browsing Rules

149. What does HTTPS Do?
• HTTPS verifies the identity of a website and encrypts nearly all
information sent between the website and the user.
• Protected information includes cookies, user agent details, URL paths,
form submissions, and query string parameters.
• HTTPS is a combination of HTTP and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
• Browsers and other HTTPS clients are configured to trust a set
of certificate authorities that can issue cryptographically signed
certificates on behalf of web service owners.

150. What Doesn’t HTTPS Do?
• HTTPS has several important limitations.
• IP addresses and destination domain names are not encrypted.
• Even encrypted traffic can reveal some information indirectly, such as time
spent on site, or the size of requested resources or submitted information.
• HTTPS only guarantees the integrity of the connection between two systems,
not the systems themselves.
• It is not designed to protect a web server from being hacked.
• If a user’s system is compromised by an attacker, that system can be altered
so that its future HTTPS connections are under the attacker’s control.

151. Why HTTPS?
• Prevents Hackers from watching what you
do over the Internet
• Encrypts Data
• Keeps stuff private
• Keeps you safe
• Prevents people from tracking your
internet activity
• Unencrypted HTTP request reveals
information about a user’s behavior.
The HTTP protocol does not protect data from interception or alteration.
