This document provides an introduction to information security. It discusses the key concepts of security including the layers of security (physical, personal, operations, etc.) and defines information security as protecting information systems and data. The document outlines the critical characteristics of information security - confidentiality, integrity, availability, authorization, authentication, identification, and accountability. It then provides more detail on each of these concepts. The document also discusses emerging security technologies, education in cybersecurity, and the components that make up an information system including software, hardware, data, people, procedures, and networks. It covers types of attacks, securing system components, and the systems development life cycle as a methodology for implementing security.
The DMZ, or De-Militarized Zone, refers to a portion of a network that is outside of the main security protections but still under the organization's control. Machines placed in the DMZ, like web servers and DNS servers, are less protected than internal machines and should not be brought back inside the network once placed in the DMZ. The DMZ acts as an isolated island that contains services to the public but should not contain any sensitive information or files that cannot be lost.
The cyber kill chain describes cyber attacks from an attacker's perspective through distinct phases: (1) reconnaissance, (2) weaponization, (3) delivery, (4) exploitation, (5) installation, (6) command and control, and (7) actions on objectives. Each phase of the kill chain can be mapped to defensive tools and actions to prevent attacks. Understanding the kill chain stages gives analysts insight into what is being attempted and how to respond appropriately. The kill chain was developed by Lockheed Martin as a method to describe intrusions and prevent advanced persistent threats by highly trained adversaries targeting sensitive information.
This document discusses the importance of data security. It introduces data as information stored in computers in binary format. Data can be transferred between devices via networks. The document emphasizes providing advanced email security, threat protection, data loss prevention, and endpoint protection to keep data secure. Data loss prevention ensures sensitive information is not sent outside a company's network without authorization. Key concepts of data security include availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data. Data should be accessible to authorized users, protected from unauthorized access and modification, and kept confidential to the intended recipients. Proper data security is crucial for businesses and individuals to protect sensitive information.
This document discusses intrusion detection systems (IDS). It defines intrusion, intrusion detection, and intrusion prevention. It explains the components of an IDS including audit data, detection models, and detection and decision engines. It describes misuse detection using signatures and anomaly detection using statistical analysis. It also discusses host-based and network-based IDS, their advantages and disadvantages, and limitations of exploit-based signatures. The document emphasizes the importance of selecting and properly deploying the right IDS for an organization's needs.
IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is definitely the next level of security technology with its capability to
provide security at all system levels from the operating system kernel to network data packets. It
provides policies and rules for network traffic along with an IDS for alerting system or network
administrators to suspicious traffic, but allows the administrator to provide the action upon being
alerted. Where IDS informs of a potential attack, an IPS makes attempts to stop it. Another huge leap
over IDS, is that IPS has the capability of being able to prevent known intrusion signatures, but also
some unknown attacks due to its database of generic attack behaviours. Thought of as a combination of
IDS and an application layer firewall for protection, IPS is generally considered to be the "next
generation" of IDS.

To strengthen network security and improve the network's active defense intrusion detection capabilities, this project will consist of intrusion detection system using honey token based encrypted pointers and intrusion prevention system which based on the mixed interactive honeypot. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is based on the novel approach of Honey Token based Encrypted Pointers.
This document discusses security architecture and models at a high level. It covers security models related to confidentiality, integrity and information flow. It also discusses differences between commercial and government security requirements. The document outlines the role of evaluation criteria such as TCSEC, ITSEC and CC. It briefly discusses security practices for the Internet like IPSec. It provides an overview of technical platforms involving hardware, firmware and software. It also touches on system security techniques including preventative, detective and corrective controls.
An intrusion detection system (IDS) monitors network traffic and system activities for suspicious activity that could indicate a security threat or attack. An IDS analyzes patterns in traffic to identify potential threats. There are network IDS that monitor entire network traffic and host IDS that monitor individual systems. An IDS detects threats but does not prevent them. An intrusion prevention system (IPS) can detect and prevent threats by blocking malicious traffic in real-time. An IPS combines IDS detection capabilities with preventative blocking functions. Common types of IPS include inline network IPS, layer 7 switches, application firewalls, and hybrid switches.
Information security involves protecting information systems, hardware, and data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, inspection, recording or destruction. The primary goals of information security, known as the CIA triad, are confidentiality, integrity and availability. Information is classified into different types like public, private, confidential and secret depending on who can access it and the potential damage of unauthorized access. Security also involves protecting physical items, individuals, operations, communications, networks and information assets.
Firewalls act as a barrier between an internal network and external networks like the internet to enforce security policies and control access. They work by filtering traffic passing through them based on criteria like source/destination addresses and ports, and can block unauthorized access while allowing permitted services. The document discusses the need for firewalls, how they function, common types like filter-based, proxy-based and stateful inspection firewalls, and what threats they help protect against while also noting some limitations.

Intrusion detection systems aim to detect unauthorized access to computer systems and networks. There are three main types: anomaly-based detection identifies deviations from normal behavior profiles; signature-based detection looks for known threat patterns; and hybrid detection combines the two approaches. Intrusion detection systems are also classified based on their monitoring scope, including network-based systems that monitor network traffic and host-based systems that monitor logs and activities on individual computers. Recent research focuses on developing more effective hybrid systems and methods that can detect both known and unknown threats.
ScenarioSummaryIn this lab, you will explore at least one IDS, IP.docxronnasleightholm
Scenario/Summary
In this lab, you will explore at least one IDS, IPS, or Honeypot currently offered by product vendors and cloud service providers. You will be making a security recommendation, related to the protection of a target network of your choice.
There are a few different paths you may take in this lab, so let's address some of the distinguishing features and definitions that are out there.
IDS and IPS Overview
·
An intrusion detection system (IDS) generally detects and logs known intrusions or anomalous network activity. Generally, no real-time protection actually occurs, therefore false-positives create little or no damage. Optionally, suspicious network traffic can be routed to an alternate network, such as a honeypot.
·
An intrusion protection system (IPS) generally detects, logs, and then blocks known intrusions or anomalous network activity. False-positives are an issue and will result in a self-inflicted denial of service condition. Optionally, suspicious network traffic can be routed to an alternate network, such as a honeypot.
Honeypot Overview
·
Honeypots come in several broad categories. The most common labels we apply to them are research honeypots, active honeypots, and offensive honeypots. They are designed to do what their label suggests, and here is a brief summary.
Note: Seek qualified legal advice before deploying any type of honeypot.
·
Research honeypots generally collect and analyze data about the attacks against a decoy-network. They can also route the attacker to new decoy-networks, to gather more details about the potential attacks. The data gathered are used to understand the attacks and strengthen the potential target networks.
·
Active honeypots have many of the features found in a research honeypot, but they also hold special content that, once taken by the attackers, can be used as evidence by investigators and law enforcement. For example, active honeypots may have database servers containing a fake bank account or credit card information.
·
Offensive honeypots are configured with many of the features of the active honeypots, with one interesting and dangerous addition: they are designed to damage the attacker. When used outside of your own network, this type of honeypot can result in vigilantism, attacks against false-targets, and may result in criminal charges against the honeypot operators. Offensive honeypots are not recommended for non-law-enforcement organizations. However, when used fully within your own network, this technique can detect and neutralize the attacker.
Any of the above services can be implemented on a privately managed network, or through a cloud service. The selection of one platform over another will generally determine where the specific protection occurs—on your network or in the cloud.
The reason for this lab is to give you an understanding of how special network technology can be used as a security research tool, while also providing varying degrees of protection.

Intruders can be classified into three categories: masqueraders who penetrate access controls to exploit legitimate user accounts, misfeasors who access unauthorized data as legitimate users, and clandestine users who seize control to evade security systems. Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) uses digital certificates and signatures to securely conduct credit card transactions over the internet between a customer, merchant, and bank. Web traffic security can be provided at the transport layer using protocols like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) which provide encryption and authentication between applications like browsers and servers.
Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) monitor networks and systems for security threats and vulnerabilities. They are evaluated based on detection rates and the ability to test the system. Honeypots are decoy systems that divert attackers away from critical systems to enable monitoring and response. Scanning and analysis tools are used by both attackers and defenders to identify vulnerabilities and secure network components.
The document discusses various cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities including trojans, viruses, sniffing, SQL injection, intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and honeypots. It provides definitions and explanations of each topic over multiple paragraphs. Trojans and viruses are defined as malicious programs that can steal data, encrypt files, or allow unauthorized access. Sniffing involves monitoring network traffic using tools like Wireshark. SQL injection is an attack that exploits vulnerabilities to execute malicious SQL statements. Intrusion detection systems detect intrusions while intrusion prevention systems can block attacks. Firewalls regulate network connections and block unauthorized access. Honeypots are decoy systems that aim to study cyber attackers.
This document provides an overview of intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) in simple terms for educational purposes. It defines IDS as a cybersecurity tool that monitors network activity for signs of threats but primarily generates alerts, while an IPS both detects threats and actively prevents harm. The document explains different types of IDS and IPS, how they work, advantages and disadvantages of each, and examples of popular IDS and IPS solutions. It also discusses the importance of IDS for early threat detection and incident response and the importance of IPS for proactive defense and reducing the impact of attacks.
The document discusses various automated security assessment tools, including OpenVAS and Nessus, that can be used to test systems for vulnerabilities. It also covers intrusion detection systems (IDS), describing host-based IDS that monitor system events and network-based IDS that monitor network traffic. Honeypots are discussed as trap systems that gather attacker information. Firewalls and their use of policies, blacklists and whitelists to filter network traffic are also summarized.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Introduction
• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) will be obsolete
very soon (if they aren't already). In it's place is
something much more capable, an Intrusion Prevention
System (IPS).
• IPSs are not a new technology, they are simply an
evolved version of IDS.
• IPSs combine IDSs and improved firewall
technologies, they make access control decisions based
on application content, rather than IP address or ports
as traditional firewalls had done.
• Because IDS and IPS technologies offer many of the
same capabilities, administrators can usually disable
prevention features in IPS products, causing them to
function as IDSs.
3. 3
Definitions
• Intrusions: attempts to compromise the
confidentiality, integrity, availability, or to bypass the
security mechanisms of a computer system or
network( illegal access).
• Intrusions have many causes, such as malware (worms,
spyware, etc…), attackers gaining unauthorized access
to systems from the Internet, and authorized users of
systems who misuse their privileges or attempt to gain
additional privileges for which they are not authorized.
• Although many intrusions are malicious in nature,
many others are not; for example: a person might
mistype the address of a computer and accidentally
attempt to connect to a different system without
authorization.
4. 4
Definitions
• Intrusion detection: is the process of monitoring the
events occurring in a computer system or network and
analyzing them for signs of possible intrusions
(incidents).
• Intrusion detection system (IDS): is software that
automates the intrusion detection process. The primary
responsibility of an IDS is to detect unwanted and
malicious activities.
• Intrusion prevention system (IPS): is software that
has all the capabilities of an intrusion detection system
and can also attempt to stop possible incidents.
5. 5
Why Intrusion Detection Prevention
Systems should be used?
• It’s a dire fact that while every enterprise has a
firewall, most still suffer from network security
problems. IT professionals are acutely aware of the
need for additional protective technologies, and
network equipment vendors are anxious to fill in the
gap.
• Intrusion Prevention Systems have been promoted as
cost-effective ways to block malicious traffic, to
detect and contain worm and virus threats, to serve as
a network monitoring point, to assist in compliance
requirements, and to act as a network sanitizing
agent.
6. 6
Why Intrusion Detection Prevention
Systems should be used?
IDPSs are primarily focused on:
• Identifying possible incidents, logging
information about them, attempting to stop
them, and reporting them to security
administrators.
• Identifying problems with security policies
• Documenting existing threats
• Deterring individuals from violating security
policies.
7. 7
In addition, all types of IDPSs perform the following:
• Recording information related to observed events.
Information is usually recorded locally, and might also be
sent to separate systems such as centralized logging
servers, security information and event management
(SIEM) solutions, and enterprise management systems.
• Notifying security administrators of important
observed events. This notification, known as an alert,
may take the form of audible signals, e-mails, pager
notifications, or log entries. A notification message
typically includes only basic information regarding an
event; administrators need to access the IDPS for
additional information.
• Producing reports. Reports summarize the monitored
events or provide details on particular events of interest.
8. 8
• An IDPS might also alter the settings for when certain
alerts are triggered or what priority should be assigned
to subsequent alerts after a particular threat is detected.
• IPSs respond to a detected threat by attempting to
prevent it from succeeding. They use several response
techniques:
• The IPS stops the attack itself. Examples:
Terminate the network connection or user session that is
being used for the attack. Block access to the target (or
possibly other likely targets) from the offending user
account, IP address, or other attacker attribute. Block
all access to the targeted host, service, application, or
other resource.
9. 9
• The IPS changes the security environment. The IPS
could change the configuration of other security
controls to disrupt an attack. Such as reconfiguring a
network device (e.g., firewall, router, switch) to block
access from the attacker or to the target, and altering a
host-based firewall on a target to block incoming
attacks. Some IPSs can even cause patches to be
applied to a host if the IPS detects that the host has
vulnerabilities.
• The IPS changes the attack’s content. Some IPS
technologies can remove or replace malicious portions
of an attack to make it benign. An example is an IPS
removing an infected file attachment from an e-mail
and then permitting the cleaned email to reach its
recipient.
10. 10
• Most IDPSs also offer features that compensate
for the use of common evasion techniques. Evasion
is modifying the format or timing of malicious
activity so that its appearance changes but its effect is
the same. Attackers use evasion techniques to try to
prevent IDPSs from detecting their attacks.
• For example: an attacker could encode text
characters in a particular way, knowing that the target
understands the encoding and hoping that any
monitoring IDPSs do not. Most IDPSs can overcome
common evasion techniques by duplicating special
processing performed by the targets. If the IDPS can
“see” the activity in the same way that the target
would, then evasion techniques will generally be
unsuccessful at hiding attacks.
11. 11
Classes of detection
methodologies:
• Signature-based: compares known threat signatures
to observed events to identify incidents.
• This is very effective at detecting known threats but
largely ineffective at detecting unknown threats and
many variants on known threats.
• Signature-based detection cannot track and understand
the state of complex communications, so it cannot
detect most attacks that comprise multiple events.
Examples:
• A telnet attempt with a username of “root”, which is a
violation of an organization’s security policy
• An e-mail with a subject of “Free pictures!” and an
attachment filename of “freepics.exe”, which are
characteristics of a known form of malware
12. 12
• Anomaly-based detection: sample network activity
to compare to traffic that is known to be normal.
• When measured activity is outside baseline
parameters or clipping level, IDPS will trigger an
alert.
• Anomaly-based detection can detect new types of
attacks.
• Requires much more overhead and processing
capacity than signature-based .
• May generate many false positives.
13. 13
• For example: a profile for a network might show that
Web activity comprises an average of 13% of
network bandwidth at the Internet border during
typical workday hours. The IDPS then uses statistical
methods to compare the characteristics of current
activity to thresholds related to the profile, such as
detecting when Web activity comprises significantly
more bandwidth than expected and alerting an
administrator of the anomaly. Profiles can be
developed for many behavioral attributes, such as the
number of e-mails sent by a user, the number of failed
login attempts for a host, and the level of processor
usage for a host in a given period of time.
14. 14
• Stateful protocol analysis: A key development in
IDPS technologies was the use of protocol analyzers.
• Protocol analyzers can natively decode application-
layer network protocols, like HTTP or FTP. Once the
protocols are fully decoded, the IPS analysis engine can
evaluate different parts of the protocol for anomalous
behavior or exploits against predetermined profiles of
generally accepted definitions of benign protocol
activity for each protocol state.
• Problems with this type include that it is often very
difficult or impossible to develop completely accurate
models of protocols, it is very resource-intensive, and it
cannot detect attacks that do not violate the
characteristics of generally acceptable protocol
behavior.
15. 15
• For example: the existence of a large binary file in
the User-Agent field of an HTTP request would be
very unusual and likely an intrusion. A protocol
analyzer could detect this anomalous behavior and
instruct the IPS engine to drop the offending packets.
• IDPS technologies cannot provide completely
accurate detection. When an IDPS incorrectly
identifies benign activity as being malicious, a false
positive has occurred. When an IDPS fails to identify
malicious activity, a false negative has occurred. It is
not possible to eliminate all false positives and
negatives; in most cases, reducing the occurrences of
one increases the occurrences of the other.
16. 16
• Many organizations choose to decrease false
negatives at the cost of increasing false positives,
which means that more malicious events are detected
but more analysis resources are needed to
differentiate false positives from true malicious
events. Altering the configuration of an IDPS to
improve its detection accuracy is known as tuning.
17. 17
Types of IDPSs
1. Network-based: perform packet sniffing and analyze
network traffic to identify and stop suspicious
activity. They are typically deployed inline. Like a
network firewall. They receive packets, analyze them,
decide whether they should be permitted, and allow
acceptable packets to pass through.
• Allow some attacks ,such as network service worms,
e-mail.borne worms and viruses with easily
recognizable characteristics (e.g., subject, attachment
filename), to be detected on networks before they
reach their intended targets (e.g., e-mail servers, Web
servers).
• Most products use a combination of attack signatures
and analysis of network and application protocols.
18. 18
• Network-based products might be able to detect and
stop some unknown threats through application
protocol analysis.
• Some products allow administrators to create and
deploy attack signatures for many major new malware
threats in a matter of minutes. Although poorly written
signature triggers false positives that block benign
activity, a custom signature can block a new malware
threat hours before antivirus signatures become
available.
• However, network-based products are generally not
capable of stopping malicious mobile code or Trojan
horses.
19. 19
Placement of Network IDPSs
Deployment options:
• Outside firewall
• Just inside firewall
-Combination of both will detect attacks getting through
firewall and may help to refine firewall rule set.
• Behind remote access server
• Between business units
• Between corporate network and partner networks
Sensors may need to be placed in all switched
network segments
21. 21
Types of IDPSs
2. Host-based: are similar in principle and purpose to
network-based , except that a host-based product
monitors the characteristics of a single host and the
events occurring within that host, such as monitoring
network traffic (only for that host), system logs,
running processes, file access and modification, and
system and application configuration changes.
• They often use a combination of attack signatures and
knowledge of expected or typical behavior to identify
known and unknown attacks on systems.
• If a host-based product monitors the host’s network
traffic, it offers detection capabilities similar to a
network-based.
22. 22
• Host-based IDPSs are most commonly deployed on
critical hosts such as publicly accessible servers and
servers containing sensitive information.
• For example: attempted changes to files can be
effective at detecting viruses attempting to infect files
and Trojan horses attempting to replace files, as well
as the use of attacker tools, such as rootkits, that often
are delivered by malware.
23. 23
Placement of host IDPSs
Deployment options:
• Key servers that contain mission-critical and
sensitive information.
• Web servers.
• FTP and DNS servers.
• E-commerce database servers, etc.
• Other high value assets.
May also emplace these randomly to obtain probabilistic measure
of hosts becoming compromised.
25. 25
Types of IDPSs
3. Network Behavior Analysis (NBA): examines
network traffic to identify threats that generate
unusual traffic flows, such as denial of service (DoS)
and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks,
certain forms of malware (e.g., worms, backdoors),
and policy violations (e.g., a client system providing
network services to other systems).
• NBA systems are most often deployed to monitor
flows on an organization’s internal networks, and are
also sometimes deployed where they can monitor
flows between an organization’s networks and
external networks (e.g., the Internet, business
partners’ networks).
26. 26
Types of IDPSs
4. Wireless: monitors wireless network traffic and
analyzes its wireless networking protocols to identify
suspicious activity involving the protocols
themselves.
• It cannot identify suspicious activity in the application
or higher-layer network protocols (e.g., TCP, UDP)
that the wireless network traffic is transferring.
• It is most commonly deployed within range of an
organization’s wireless network to monitor it, but can
also be deployed to locations where unauthorized
wireless networking could be occurring.
27. 27
• organizations should consider using multiple types of
IDPS technologies to achieve more comprehensive and
accurate detection and prevention of malicious activity.
• For most environments, a combination of network-
based and host-based IDPSs is needed for an effective
IDPS solution.
• NBA technologies can also be deployed if
organizations desire additional detection capabilities
for DoS & DDoS attacks, worms, and other threats that
NBAs are particularly good at detecting.
• Wireless IDPSs may also be needed if the organization
determines that its wireless networks need additional
monitoring or if the organization wants to ensure that
rogue wireless networks are not in use in the
organization’s facilities.
28. 28
• Before evaluating IDPS products organizations need
to understand the characteristics of their system and
network environments, so that a compatible IDPS can
be selected that can monitor the events of interest on
the systems and/or networks.
• Organizations should articulate the goals and
objectives they wish to attain by using an IDPS, such
as stopping common attacks, identifying
misconfigured wireless network devices, and
detecting misuse of the organization’s system and
network resources.
• Organizations should also review their existing
security policies, which serve as a specification for
many of the features that the IDPS products need to
provide.
29. 29
• Organizations should determine if they require IDPSs
or other specific system security resources.
• Organizations also need to define specialized sets of
requirements for the following:
• Security capabilities: including information gathering,
logging, detection, and prevention.
• Performance: including maximum capacity and
performance features
• Management: including design and implementation
(e.g., reliability, interoperability, scalability, product
security), operation and maintenance (including
software updates), and training, documentation, and
technical support Life cycle costs, both initial and
maintenance costs.
31. 31
What is Prevx1?
• Prevx1 is a powerful anti-malware tool. It works
alongside existing security tools such as anti-virus
software and firewalls, or it can be used on its own.
• Additionally, Prevx1 is significantly quieter than other
current security products because of it's unique
Community Intrusion Prevention System (CIPS)
concept.
• Prevx1 provides vital protection against attacks that
traditional security products may not adequately protect
against. These attacks include:
• Buffer Overflows
• Trojans and Exploits
32. 32
• Internet Worms and Hack Attacks
• Spyware and Adware
• Phishing (Hosts File misuse).
HOW DOES PREVX 2.0 WORK?
• When you first start Prevx 2.0, it carries out a once-
only scan to identify executable files that run
automatically or frequently.
• After these files have been catalogued, it then verifies
them against the Prevx Central Database. This
database contains records of known good and known
bad (malware) programs.
33. 33
Example:
• When a program tries to start, Prevx 2.0 will intercept it
to see if it is safe to run. The diagram shown here is an
example of what happens if you download a program
from the internet and then try to run it.
• Good programs are allowed to start.
• Bad programs (in other words, malware) are
automatically blocked. You will see a message box
where you can get online details about the file.
• Very rarely, if at all, a program may not be in the
Community database. This may be because the program
is very new or has only been seen a few times by the
Prevx 2.0 community or if the Community database
could not be contacted. In this case the program would
be classified as unknown, and you will be prompted to
allow it to start or not. This is known as a Query.
