Introduction to Web Application Penetration TestingAnurag Srivastava
Web Application Pentesting
* Process to check and penetrate the security of a web application or a website
* process involves an active analysis of the application for any weaknesses, technical flaws, or vulnerabilities
* Any security issues that are found will be presented to the system owner, together with an assessment of the impact, a proposal for mitigation or a technical solution.
This document summarizes different types of network scans that can be performed using Nmap, including TCP connect scans, SYN scans, FIN scans, Xmas scans, Null scans, and least traffic scans. It also discusses why vulnerability scanning is important and compares the features of the free Nessus Home Feed versus the paid Professional Feed for vulnerability scanning. The Professional Feed provides more frequent plugin updates, policy compliance checks, unlimited PCI audits, operating system audits, and technical support compared to the free Home Feed.

1) A flatbed scanner works by using a glass scanning surface where objects are placed. It scans images as a series of dots using rotating lamps with colored filters and a CCD sensor to generate a digitized image file.
2) When scanning, the CCD sensor moves across the glass platen to read the image as dots. Software then converts this into an electronic code that can be understood by the computer.
3) Flatbed scanners allow scanning of documents without bending them and can scan a variety of paper types and qualities as well as larger documents than sheet-fed scanners. Their glass surface risks scratching over time however.
This document discusses various port scanning techniques used by hackers to discover services, operating systems, and open ports on target hosts. It explains common TCP scans like SYN scans which identify open and closed ports, and UDP scans. Timing options and techniques for hiding scans are also covered. The document provides examples of using the Nmap tool to perform scans and identify operating systems.
The document provides an overview of web application security testing tools and techniques. It begins with an introduction to common terminology and threats. It then demonstrates various tools for tasks like vulnerability analysis (OWASP ZAP), exploitation (sqlmap), and network analysis (nmap, Wireshark, tcpdump). It also covers topics like the OWASP Top 10, STRIDE/DREAD frameworks, and threat modeling. The document emphasizes that tools should be used thoughtfully alongside security expertise and provides several references for further learning.
Nmap is an open source network scanning tool that can discover hosts on a network, services running on hosts, operating systems in use, and vulnerabilities. It uses raw IP packets to determine details about targets. Nmap runs on Linux, Windows, and other platforms and has both command line and graphical interfaces. Common scan types include TCP connect, SYN stealth, UDP scans, and operating system detection to reveal details about targets on a network.

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) allow private networks to be connected securely over the public Internet. VPNs use encryption and authentication to protect data as it travels between networks. There are two main types of VPNs - those that operate at the network level using IPSec, and those that operate at the transport level using SSL. VPNs provide cheaper and easier connections than dedicated private networks but are slower and less reliable than direct private network connections.
Nikto is a popular webserver assessment tool that scans for over 6700 potentially dangerous files and programs, checks for outdated server versions of over 1250 servers, and identifies version-specific problems on 270+ servers. It identifies vulnerabilities very quickly but is not stealthy, making the scans obvious in server logs. Nikto allows tuning scans to specific categories like file uploads, information disclosure, or SQL injection, and has features like SSL support, HTTP proxy support, customizable reports, and host authentication.

It discusses challenges in securing components of the container infrastructure like images, registries, runtimes and orchestrators. It outlines common container threats like privilege escalation attacks and misconfigured containers. The document recommends mitigations like using vetted base images, access controls, network segmentation and updating components. It also references resources like the OWASP Docker Top 10, NIST container security guide and CIS Docker benchmark that provide guidelines for container hardening. In summary, the key is to monitor components, limit access, use segmentation and follow security standards to protect the container environment.
The document introduces the concept of a Web Operating System (WebOS) which aims to provide common services like input/output, communication, storage, and resource management for applications distributed across a wide area network like the Internet. It discusses how WebOS would allow discovery of remote resources, execution of processes remotely, and provide a global namespace and file system for distributed applications in a secure manner. Examples of potential WebOS applications like an Internet chat application are also presented.
The document discusses the basics of IT security including the CIA triad of confidentiality, integrity and availability. It also covers common security concepts such as assets, vulnerabilities, threats, countermeasures and risks. Additionally, it summarizes authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) protocols, common attacks and how to implement secure network architecture.

Mandatory access control for information securityAjit Dadresa
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) is an access control model that is used in highly classified environments. It relies on a system-wide security policy to control access rather than allowing individuals to control access. The policy dictates who can access what. MAC implements mandatory integrity control in Windows Vista based on the Biba model, which ensures integrity by controlling writes and deletions. It defines four integrity levels (low, medium, high, system) and usually inherits levels between processes, but customization is allowed.
Unique identification authority of india uidAjit Dadresa
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) was established in 2009 to issue unique identification numbers (UID/Aadhaar) to all Indian residents. The purpose of UIDAI is to create an identification infrastructure that is robust, cost-effective, and can eliminate duplicate and fake identities. UIDAI collects residents' demographic and biometric data like fingerprints and iris scans to issue 12-digit unique IDs. It also implements online authentication services where user identity can be verified. The UIDAI system architecture involves the Central Identities Data Repository to store user data and various partner agencies for enrollment and verification functions.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses "tickets" to allow nodes on a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another securely. It provides mutual authentication and is protected against eavesdropping and replay attacks. Kerberos uses a central authentication server and ticket granting services to authenticate clients and allow them secure access to other services on the network. However, Kerberos has some limitations such as being vulnerable if the central authentication server is compromised.
Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that allows a user to access multiple applications using one set of login credentials. It authenticates the user for all applications they have rights to use and eliminates additional login prompts when switching between applications in a session. SSO provides benefits like reduced costs, improved user experience with fewer passwords to remember, and centralized user management. However, it also presents risks such as being difficult to implement for existing applications and creating a single point of attack for hackers.
Identity management (IDM) comprises processes and infrastructure for creating, maintaining, and using digital identities within legal and policy contexts. Key IDM steps include authentication to verify identities, authorization to manage access permissions, assigning users to roles, and delegation to allow others to act on one's behalf. IDM is important in telecom to efficiently manage customer access and accounts while improving security, personalization, and partnerships. Challenges include supporting various user types and systems, while solutions involve single sign-on, access control, directories, and identity federation.
The document discusses access control and role-based access control (RBAC) models. It describes the core components of RBAC including users, roles, permissions, and role hierarchies. RBAC assigns system access based on a user's role within an organization and restricts access to authorized users. The document outlines how RBAC can be implemented in a small company and used to define roles for network devices, applications, and systems to enforce access controls and facilitate auditing.
