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.
The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, described in RFC 2409, is a key management protocol standard which is used in conjunction with the IPsec standard. IPsec can be configured without IKE, but IKE enhances IPsec by providing additional features, flexibility, and ease of configuration for the IPsec standard.

Network security is protection of the files which can be stored information in network against hacking, misuse. Network security involves the authorization or access to data which is controlled by the network administrator. Users are assigned an ID and password or other authenticating information that allows them access to information and programs within their authority. Today anyone person can become a hacker which downloading tools from the internet. Nowadays security is becoming vital in case of networking because everyday a new kind of attack is generated which leads to compromise our network and have security in network is decreasing because of increase in number of attacks. In this paper we have shown the comparison between different types of attacks in a network in a tabular form.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

4. Masquerade
4
* These images are copied from the textbook (Cryptography and Network Security, by William Stallings).
Masquerade takes place when one entity pretends
to be an another entity.
5. Replay
5
Involves the passive capture of a data unit and its
subsequent retransmission to produce an unauthorized effect.
7. Denial of service
7
A denial-of-service (DoS) is any type of attack
where the attackers (hackers) attempt to prevent
legitimate users from accessing the service.
8. Anatomy of an attack
Attacker
Some one outside your network perimeter who is trying to
break in
Regular user has an inside view, so overwhelming majority
originate from inside
Collecting information
Probing the network
Launching an attack
9. Collecting information
XYZ is the user that wants to attack your network.
Question: Where to start?
In order to get it he has to do some investigative work
about your network.
The first thing it can do is to run the “whois” query.
Live and authoritative
10. Whois
Query to the interNIC.
It maintains the publicly accessible database of all
registered domains
Can be searched with simple query “whois
domainname”
“Whois pugc.edu.pk”
11. The organizational domain name
The organizational location
The organization’s administrative contact
The phone no and fax number for the administrator
A valid subnet address within the organization
12. Organization domain name
It is important because anyone can use it to collect
further information
Any host associated with this name will be an extra
information
www.pugc.edu.pk
mail.pugc.eud.pk
Now this host will be used as keyword to use when
forming future queries
13. Physical location
Knowing physical location of Organization
Might get temp job, offer his consulting services
Once he is in, he might be granted certain level of
permission to resources
Might try to backdoor into network
Wants to do dumpster diving (Who, What, When, Where
and Why )
Dump sensitive information in trash
Write passwords at temp places
Not separating trash from rest for recycling
14. Admin contact
Individual responsible for maintaining network.
This is very useful for physical hacking
For example, he calls as member of help desk and asks,
“hey! You have asked me to check for your certain account,
there is some problems, whats ur passwd”
Dangerous for such organizations who don’t have the
tendency to change passwds frequently
Email is also a valid attack for this contact, for sending
spoofed mail that contains some hostile code, if email is
activated then ………
15. Valid subnet mask
Last information of whois is an ip address entry for
domain.
Getting an ip address of same subnet, ensures that
others will be at the same place
So ip spoofing attack can be send
16. Four Categories of Attacks
Access
Modification
Denial of Service
Repudiation
17. 1. Access Attack
An access attack is an attempt to gain information
that the attacker is unauthorized to see.
This attack can occur wherever the information
resides or may exist during transmission.
This type of attack is an attack against the
confidentiality of the information.
Examples:
Snooping
Eavesdropping
Interception
18. Cont…
Confidentiality can be compromised through:
Snooping
Snooping, in a security context, is unauthorized access to
another person's or company's data
Not necessarily limited to gaining access to data during its
transmission
Casual observance of an e-mail that appears on another's
computer screen or watching what someone else is typing
Eavesdropping
Being invisible on a public channel can be considered
eavesdropping
To gain unauthorized access to information, an attacker must
position himself at a location where the information of interest
is likely to pass by.
19. Confidentiality can be compromised through:
Interception
Unlike eavesdropping, interception is an active attack against
the information
When an attacker intercepts information, he is interesting
himself in the path of information and capturing it before it
reaches its destination
After examining the information, the attacker may allow the
information to continue to its destination or not.
20. Modification Attacks
A modification attack is an attempt to modify
information that an attacker is not authorized to
modify.
This type of attack is an attack against the integrity
of the information.
Integrity can be compromised through:
Changes
Insertion
Deletion
21. Denial of Service Attacks
DoS attacks are attacks that deny the use of
resources to legitimate users of the system,
information, or capabilities.
22. Dos methods
flooding a network, thereby preventing legitimate
network traffic;
disrupting a server by sending more requests than it
can possibly handle, thereby preventing access to a
service;
preventing a particular individual from accessing a
service;
disrupting service to a specific system or person.
23. Cont…
DoS attacks can be done against the:
Information
Applications
Systems
Communications
24. Repudiation Attacks
Repudiation is an attack against the accountability of
the information.
Repudiation is an attempt to give false information or
to deny that a real event or transaction should have
occurred.
An example of this type of attack would be a user
performing a prohibited operation in a system that lacks the
ability to trace.
25. Back Doors
A backdoor is a method of bypassing normal
authentication or encryption in a computer system
A hardware or software-based hidden entrance to a
computer system that can be used to bypass the
system's security policies.
Using a known or through newly discovered access
mechanism, an attacker can gain access to a system
or network resource through a backdoor.
26. Cont..
There are several ways that back doors can be
placed on a computer:
Opening an infected e-mail attachment (they are often
combined with viruses and worms)
Exploiting a vulnerable, unpatched software application or
operating system service
Active FTP server on the computer (especially one that
allows "anonymous" sessions)
27. Brute Force
Also known as exhaustive key search and password
attack.
Try every possible combination of options of a
password.
28. Determining the Difficulty of a
Brute Force Attack
The difficulty of a brute force attack depends on
several factors, such as:
How long can the key be?
How many possible values can each component of the key
have?
How long will it take to attempt each key?
Is there a mechanism which will lock the attacker out after a
number of failed attempts?
29. Dictionary
Another form of the brute force attack.
Dictionary attack narrows the field by selecting
specific accounts to attack and uses a list of
commonly used passwords (the dictionary) with
which to guess, instead of random combinations.
30. Spoofing
Is an attempt to gain access to a system by
pretending as an authorized user.
By gaining the IP address of the trusted host and
then modify the packet headers so that it appears
that the packets are coming from that host.
IP spoofing
ARP spoofing
Email spoofing
31. IP Spoofing
Inserting the IP address of an authorized user into the
transmission of an unauthorized user in order to gain
illegal access to a computer system. Routers and
other firewall implementations can be programmed
to identify this discrepancy
32. ARP Poisoning
The principle of ARP spoofing is to send fake, or 'spoofed',
ARP messages to an Ethernet LAN. Generally, the aim is to
associate the attacker's MAC address with the IP address
of another node (such as the default gateway).
Any traffic meant for that IP address would be mistakenly
sent to the attacker instead. The attacker could then
choose to forward the traffic to the actual default gateway
(passive sniffing) or modify the data before forwarding it
(man-in-the-middle attack).
The attacker could also launch a Denial of Service attack
against a victim by associating a nonexistent MAC address
to the IP address of the victim's default gateway.
33. Email Spoofing
Email spoofing is a technique used in spam and
phishing attacks to trick users into thinking a
message came from a person or entity they either
know or can trust.
Example:
a spoofed email may pretend to be from a
well-known shopping website, asking the recipient to
provide sensitive data, such as a password or credit
card number.
Editor's Notes
A cyber attack is any type of offensive action that targets computer information systems, infrastructures, computer networks or personal computer devices, using various methods to steal, alter or destroy data or information systems.
* Traffic analysis is enclosed in eavesdropping
Masquerade (masking, disguise)
A masquerade may be attempted through the use of stolen logon IDs and passwords (Keylogger)
Weak authentication provides one of the easiest points of entry for a masquerade
Technique that could be used to avoid a replay attack is by creating random session keys which are time bound and process bound.
The other popular technique is to use one-time passwords for each request. This method of prevention is very often used for banking operations.
An eavesdropping attack, also known as a sniffing or snooping attack, is a theft of information as it is transmitted over a network by a computer, smartphone, or another connected device. The attack takes advantage of unsecured network communications to access data as it is being sent or received by its user.
Eavesdropping attacks can be prevented by using a personal firewall, keeping antivirus software updated, and using a virtual private network (VPN).
Avoiding public Wi-Fi networks and adopting strong passwords are other ways to prevent eavesdropping attacks.
