This document discusses network security and introduces several common network security tools. It begins by defining network security and explaining the importance of securing a network. It then profiles six security tools: Snort is an open-source network intrusion detection and prevention system that can detect attacks and probes. Ettercap is used for network protocol analysis and can intercept traffic, capture passwords, and conduct eavesdropping. Sam Spade is a network tool suite that finds public information about IP and DNS addresses. BackTrack is a Linux distribution focused on penetration testing. Hydra performs rapid dictionary attacks against network protocols. Deep Freeze makes computer configurations indestructible by wiping out any changes made during a session.

3. What is Network Security ?
Network security consists of the provisions
and polices adopted by a network administrator to prevent and
monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial
of a computer network and network-accessible resources

4. Importance of Network Security

5. Network Security Tools

7. Snort
→ Developed by Sourcefire, Inc. in 2012
→ Snort is lightweight network IDS or IPS which is used to
detect a variety of attacks and probes
→ Snort have three modes :
1. sniffer
2.packet logger
3.network intrusion detection
→ Snort uses a flexible rule-based language to describe traffic

8. Features
→ Small ,Portable (Linux, Solaris, *BSD, IRIX, HP-UX)
→ Fast and Open Source Software
→ Configurable (Easy rules
language, many reporting/
logging options)

11. Ettercap
→ Ettercap is a tool for network protocol analysis and security
auditing
→ Capable of intercepting traffic , capture passwords, and
conduct active eavesdropping
against common protocols
→ Supports active and passive
dissection of many protocols

12. Features
→ Ettercap offers four modes of operation:
1.IP-Based
2.MAC-Based
3.ARP-Based
4. PublicARP-based
→ Character injection into an established connection
→ HTTPS support
→ Plug-in support

13. Features(contd…)
→ Password collectors for
→ Packet filtering/dropping
→ OS fingerprinting
→ Passive scanning of the LAN
→ Hijacking of DNS requests

15. Sam Spade
→ Sam Spade utility was authored by Steve Atkins in 1997
→ Sam Spade is a network tool suite, with some extra features
that will enable you to track unsolicited email.
→ The Sam Spade tool acts as a sleuth that finds as much public
information about an IP address or DNS address
→ It integrates the capabilities found in ping, traceroute, time,
whois, nslookup, finger, DIG , etc

16. Features
→ DNS zone transfer
→ SMTP Relay Check
→ Scan Addresses
→ Crawl website
→ Browse web
→ Fast and Slow Traceroute
→ Decode URL
→ Parse email headers
→ Check cancels

18. Backtrack
→ Linux distribution designed for penetration testing, aka
"ethical hacking“
→ BackTrack is a Linux distribution that is security focused and
contains over 300 security tools integrated with a highly
polished user interface
→ current version is BackTrack 5 R3

20. Hydra
→ very fast network logon cracker
→ perform rapid dictionary attacks against more then 30
protocols, including TELNET, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, MS-SQL,
MYSQL,SNMP, POP3, IMAP etc

21. Features
→ IPv6 Support
→ Graphic User Interface
→ Internationalized support (RFC 4013)
→ HTTP proxy support
→ SOCKS proxy support

23. Deep Freeze
→Developed by Feronics ,Deep Freeze makes computer
configurations indestructible
→Any changes made to a computer are wiped out at the end of
the session
→Provides immunity from:
→Accidental system misconfiguration
→Malicious software activity
→Incidental system degradation

24. Features
→Multiple Thaw Spaces
→Hidden Thaw Spaces
→Improved Console Functionality
→Remote Desktop Control
→Remote EXE & MSI execution
(using PSEXEC)
→New Event Scheduler
→Multiple, daily events now possible

26. Conclusion
No system or network is absolutely secure , as hackers or
many algorithms are there to break passwords and much
valuable information, which leads to a great loss. Hence
network security tools provides the remedy by many ways.
