JONES & BARTLETT LEARNING INFORMATION SYSTEMS SECURITY & ASSURANCE SERIES LABORATORY MANUAL TO ACCOMPANY Managing Risk in Information Systems VERSION 2.0 Powered by vLab Solution s INSTRUCTOR VERSION Copyright © by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company - All Rights Reserved. Lab #5 Identifying Risks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities in an IT Infrastructure Using Zenmap® GUI (Nmap) and Nessus® Reports Introduction Imagine a system administrator learns of a server’s vulnerability, and a service patch is available to solve it. Unfortunately, simply applying a patch to a server is not assurance enough that a risk has been mitigated. The system admin has the option of opening the application and verifying that the patch has raised the version number as expected. Still, the admin has no guarantee the vulnerability is closed, at least not until the vulnerability is directly tested. That’s what vulnerability scanners are for. Two vulnerability scanners available to the system administrator are Nmap® and Nessus®, which produce scan reports. The purpose of using Zenmap® GUI (Nmap) and Nessus® reports is to enable you to create network discovery port scanning reports and vulnerability reports. These reports can identify the hosts, operating systems, services, applications, and open ports that are at risk in an organization. In this lab, you will look at an Nmap® report and a Nessus® report. You will visit the http://cve.mitre.org Web site, you will define vulnerability and exposure according to the site, and you will learn how to conduct searches of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) listing. Learning Objectives Upon completing this lab, you will be able to: Review a Zenmap® GUI (Nmap) network discovery and port scanning report and a Nessus® software vulnerability report. Identify hosts, operating systems, services, applications, and open ports on devices from the Zenmap® GUI (Nmap) scan report. Identify critical, major, and minor software vulnerabilities from the Nessus® vulnerability assessment scan report. Visit the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) online listing of software vulnerabilities at http://cve.mitre.org and learn how to conduct searches on the site. 41 Copyright © by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company - All Rights Reserved. 43 Hands-On Steps Note: This is a paper-based lab.

Project: Penetration Testing Report (20 Points) Scenario You have been hired as a junior security consultant and have been tasked with performing an in-house penetration test to demonstrate your readiness to support the audit of a large corporate client that has employed your firm’s services. Conducting a penetration test consists of 1) planning the test, 2) preparing your test tools, 3) performing the test, 4) analyzing the data, and 5) writing up and communicating your findings. The project will document your notional penetration test. Project OVERVIEW Your project will be submitted in four sections. The final deliverable will include all combined sections:  Pre-Test: Deployment of attack tools and victim host (Week 2)  Testing (Mapping and Scanning): Mapping the target environment and conducting a vulnerability scan (Week 4)  Testing (Exploitation): Gaining Access through a vulnerability identified during the vuln scan (Week 6)  Analysis and Reporting: Communicating findings and providing mitigation recommendation (Week 8) Supporting Details The purpose of this project is to evaluate the student’s ability to:  Build and deploy an attack OS (Kali Linux or other similar operating system (OS))  Configure and deploy a victim host (Metasploitable, Broken Web Apps, Mutillidae, other exploitable OS or virtual machine (VM))  Conduct a vulnerability scan  Research a hardware or software vulnerability  Discuss how the vulnerability can be exploited  Exploit the vulnerability  Evaluate the risk posed by this vulnerability  Provide a recommended compensating control to mitigate the vulnerability Students may choose to submit the project using one of two options - each option has pros and cons that students should evaluate before making their decision. 1. Local Lab: Requires access to a dedicated computer in which students have sufficient: o access (continued access to the same machine for the duration of the course) o permissions (administrative permissions to install software) o storage (minimum of 30 GB available to the student for VM storage) o memory (minimum of 8 GBs) o bandwidth (downloading large VMs can take considerable time even with high-speed Internet connections) 2. Remote Lab: Utilizes the online lab environment used to complete the weekly course labs Part 1 – Pre-Test: Deployment of attack tools and victim host (Week 2) PROJECT SECTION 1 DETAILS: The first part of your project consists of preparing and deploying your testing tools (the attack OS) and the vulnerable host that will serve as your attack target. Instead of requiring the use of two physical machines, we will utilize one physical machine and we will leverage virtualization software to install a hypervisor (VirtualBox, VMware, etc.) along with two (2) “guest” operating systems. For those new to virtualization, we are simply using our “host OS” (Window, Mac, Linux) and installing a virtualization “software application.

SECURITY FOR DEVOPS DEPLOYMENT PROCESSES: DEFENSES, RISKS, RESEARCH DIRECTIONS

ijseajournal

DevOps is an emerging collection of software management practices intended to shorten time to market for new software features and to reduce the risk of costly deployment errors. In this paper we examine the security implications of two of the key DevOps practices, automation of the deployment pipeline using a deployment toolchain and infrastructure-as-code to specify the environment of the eployed software. We focus on identifying what changes when an organization moves from manual deployments to DevOps automated deployment processes.We reviewed the literature and conducted three case studies using simple configurations of common DevOps tools. This allowed us to identify specific: • Positive influences on security where automation enhances defenses. • Negative influences, where automation enables different kinds of attacks and increases the attack surface. • Research directions that look promising to support this new approach to software management. • Recommendations for DevOps adopters
