This document discusses authentication methods for secure internet banking. It presents two solutions: 1) a short-time password solution that uses symmetric cryptography and a hardware security module, and 2) a certificate-based solution that establishes an SSL/TLS channel without client authentication and uses the client's certificates. Both solutions offer high security against common offline credential stealing and online channel breaking attacks. The certificate solution is attractive for the future due to changing legislation and the spread of electronic IDs.
Network attacks
Basic Network Attacks
The active and passive attacks can be differentiated on the basis of what are they, how they are performed and how much extent of damage they cause to the system resources. But, majorly the active attack modifies the information and causes a lot of damage to the system resources and can affect its operation. Conversely, the passive attack does not make any changes to the system resources and therefore doesn’t causes any damage.
Web Server Security Guidelines
The document provides guidelines for securing web servers. It recommends implementing defense in depth across network, host, and application layers. This includes designing screened subnets; controlling access with routers and firewalls; using intrusion detection and antivirus systems; and hardening hosts, web servers, and applications. The document also discusses topics like content management, logging, backups, physical security, auditing, security policies, and incident response. Adherence to the guidelines helps protect against common attacks on web servers.
Malicion software
This document discusses several types of malicious software:
1. Viruses replicate themselves and spread from computer to computer like a biological virus. Trojan horses disguise themselves as legitimate programs but install malware and sometimes wipe hard drives.
2. Spyware steals user information like email addresses and credit card numbers covertly without the user's knowledge by eating up computer resources.
3. Adware displays excessive pop-up ads that hinder performance similar to spyware but notify the user. They can potentially install more malware by tricking users to click ads.
4. Bots are automated processes that interact with networks in a botnet to infect other devices like zombies and spread the infection. Phishing involves posing as a legitimate
Phishing Attacks: A Challenge Ahead
Author: Dr Sandeep Sood
Password-based authentication is used in online web applications due to its simplicity and convenience. Efficient password-based authentication schemes are required to authenticate the legitimacy of remote users, or data origin over an insecure communication channel. Password-based authentication schemes are highly susceptible to phishing attacks.
Access control attacks by Yaakub bin Idris
A logic bomb is a piece of code that executes when predefined conditions are met, such as on a specific date or time. It is typically installed by privileged users who know how to circumvent security controls. When the conditions are met, the logic bomb performs an unexpected "payload". System scanning collects information about devices and networks, such as open ports and running services, to facilitate attacks. Ethical hacking describes security testing performed with an organization's permission to identify potential threats and weaknesses.
Security vulnerability
Internet technology and software are inherently vulnerable due to flaws, weaknesses, and gaps in their design, implementation, and security protocols. Thousands of vulnerabilities exist in both software and hardware that can be exploited by hackers if not properly addressed. Common sources of vulnerabilities include design flaws, poor security management, incorrect implementation, vulnerabilities in operating systems, applications, protocols, and ports. Ensuring systems are properly configured, passwords are strong, and users are educated can help reduce vulnerabilities, but due to the complexity of software it is impossible to have fully secure systems.

Study of Web Application Attacks & Their Countermeasures
Web application security is among the hottest issue
in present web scenario due to increasing use of web
applications for e-business environment. Web application has
become the easiest way to provide wide range of services to
users. Due to transfer of confidential data during these services
web application are more vulnerable to attacks. Web
application attack occurs because of lack of security awareness
and poor programming skills. According to Imperva web
application attack report [1] websites are probe once every
two minutes and this has been increased to ten attacks per
second in year 2012. In this paper we have presented most
common and dangerous web application attacks and their
countermeasures.
cyber security
Cyber security is important to protect networks, devices, systems and applications from digital attacks aimed at accessing, destroying or altering sensitive data. There are three pillars of security: confidentiality, integrity and availability. Fifteen common types of cyber attacks are described, including malware, phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks, and distributed denial-of-service attacks. Cyber security is increasingly important due to the growing sophistication of attacks, widespread availability of hacking tools, data compliance regulations, rising costs of data breaches, cyber security being a strategic concern for boards and management, and cyber crime being a large industry.
Cyber Security Acronyms Glossary.pptx
Common acronyms in IT Security industry explained. Terms like OWASP, XSS, SQLI vulnerability, RCE and CSRF and more. These are keywords in network security that are mostly used.
The most Common Website Security Threats
The document discusses the most common security threats faced by websites, including SQL injection, credential brute force attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. It explains that websites store data on web servers accessed through the internet, making them vulnerable targets. The threats aim to steal information, abuse server resources, trick bots/crawlers, or exploit visitors. Proper web security is needed to prevent attacks and protect websites and their users.
cryptography .pptx
Web security deals with protecting data transferred over the internet and networks from security threats and risks. Common web security threats include cross-site scripting, SQL injection, phishing, ransomware, and viruses. To help prevent these threats, it is important to keep software updated, beware of SQL injection attacks, validate all user input, use strong passwords, and limit information in error messages. Proper web security helps protect websites, networks, and data from damage or theft.
K017135461
This document discusses preventing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that use web proxies. It begins by explaining how web proxies can be abused by attackers to launch DDoS attacks in a flexible and difficult to detect manner. It then proposes a novel scheme to detect and mitigate these proxy-based DDoS attacks by analyzing the frequency of request sequences from each proxy to identify abnormal behavior patterns that indicate an attack is occurring. The scheme aims to discard likely malicious requests while still allowing authorized user requests, avoiding a complete denial of service.
Preventing Web-Proxy Based DDoS using Request Sequence Frequency
This document discusses preventing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that use web proxies. It proposes detecting abnormal request sequences from web proxies by analyzing the frequency of request sequences and comparing it to a web proxy's historical behavioral profile. When abnormal sequences are detected, a "soft-control" approach is used to reshape suspicious sequences rather than rejecting the entire sequence, to avoid impacting legitimate users. A hidden semi-Markov model is used to model the temporal and spatial behavior of web proxy traffic over time. This allows both fine-grained and coarse-grained detection of attacks at the server level, independently of traffic intensity or changing web content.
XSS, LFI & CSRF vulnerabilities
Recent hacks of major international and regional banks have occurred due to exploits from the following vulnerabilities:
1. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability using redirects
2. Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability
3. Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability
DOS attack.pptx
A denial-of-service (DoS) attack aims to disrupt services by overwhelming a machine or network with requests. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack uses multiple infected machines to flood the bandwidth or resources of a target server. Application layer DoS attacks target specific functions to disrupt services like website searches. Some vendors provide booter services that allow technically unsophisticated attackers to launch powerful DoS attacks through simple web interfaces.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks occur when malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign websites. There are three main types of XSS attacks: reflected XSS, stored XSS, and DOM-based XSS. XSS attacks are dangerous because they can access cookies and session tokens, potentially exposing sensitive user information. To prevent XSS, user input should be escaped, validated against a whitelist of allowed characters, and sanitized to remove potentially harmful HTML markup.

Why Threat Intelligence Is a Must for Every Organization?
Hackers attack organizations almost every 40 seconds, exposing over 5 billion records in the first half of 2020. The document argues that threat intelligence is crucial for organizations as malicious emails often use common file types like Office documents to spread malware and spear phishing targets internal employees. It notes that most companies do not properly protect sensitive files and accounts, with most employees having access to millions of non-password protected files and many accounts using non-expiring passwords. Therefore, threat intelligence is necessary to help organizations identify vulnerabilities and strengthen their cybersecurity.

Cryptography in Blockchain
This document discusses cryptography in blockchain. It begins by introducing blockchain and cryptography separately. It then defines important cryptography terminology like encryption, decryption, cipher, and key. It describes the main types of cryptography as symmetric-key, asymmetric-key, and hash functions. It explains how blockchain uses asymmetric-key algorithms and hash functions. Hash functions are used to link blocks and maintain integrity. Cryptography provides benefits like the avalanche effect and uniqueness to blockchain. Finally, it discusses an application of cryptography in cryptocurrency, where public-private key pairs maintain user addresses and digital signatures approve transactions.
A Brief Introduction to Penetration Testing
The document discusses penetration testing and provides details on:
1. The 5 stages of a penetration test: planning and reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and analysis and WAF configuration.
2. Penetration testing methods like external testing, internal testing, blind testing, and double-blind testing.
3. How penetration testing and web application firewalls (WAFs) work together, with testers using WAF data to find vulnerabilities and WAFs then being updated based on test results.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
