New threats are increasing daily in the era of Artificial intelligence, where hacking vulnerable devices is a very common scenario. To fight against the threats and other attack vectors, organizations need to schedule penetration testing to step ahead in identifying and mitigating the potential vulnerabilities within the server and network infrastructure. To systematically identify the entry points and the weakness of any system vulnerability scanning plays a key role, as a part of scans this scans the network, application, and the whole infrastructure. We will try to explore the significance, best practices, and methodologies that are related to identifying the…

Before the exploitation by any malware or by any suspicious activities using any malicious actors, it is a major need to perform penetration testing on your systems. This would be a very bad situation where after getting up from sleep you get the news that your main servers are down and attacked by ransomware. In the era of cybersecurity and AI where non-tech people are also trying to be hackers just to have fun. Identifying and mitigating the vulnerabilities of the network and servers are major concerns. Information gathering is the first thing you need to do if you start…

Facebook Twitter Youtube Securing Wireless Networks: Understanding and Mitigating Encryption VulnerabilitiesWe know how to test the security of all known wireless encryptions (WEP/WPA/WPA2), it is relatively easy to secure our networks against these attacks as we know all the weaknesses that can be used by hackers to crack these encryptions.Exploring Encryption Methods1. WEP EncryptionWEP is an old encryption, and it’s really weak. Several methods can be used to crack this encryption regardless of the strength of the password and even if there is nobody connected to the network. These attacks are possible because of the way WEP works. We discussed…

Facebook Twitter Youtube Exploring ARP Spoofing and Bettercap for Network Interception Previously, we learned what ARP spoofing is and how to use it to intercept connections in our network using a tool called ARP Spoof. I covered this tool because it is simple, reliable, and available for a number of operating systems. Consequently, learning how to use this tool can be useful in so many scenarios. However, in this lecture, and in the next lectures, we’re going to be using a tool called Bettercap. Bettercap can be used to do exactly what we did with ARP Spoof. So we…
