Cyberspace and Cybersecurity



Book Description:

English | ISBN: 1466501332 | 2012 | 236 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Based on relate

Based on related courses and research on the cyber environment in Europe, the United States, and Asia, Cyberspace and Cybersecurity supplies complete coverage of cyberspace and cybersecurity. It not only emphasizes technologies but also pays close attention to human factors and organizational perspectives.

Detailing guidelines for quantifying and measuring vulnerabilities, the book also explains how to avoid these vulnerabilities through secure coding. It covers organizational-related vulnerabilities, including access authorization, user authentication, and human factors in information security. Providing readers with the understanding required to build a secure enterprise, block intrusions, and handle delicate legal and ethical issues, the text:

Examines the risks inherent in information system components, namely hardware, software, and people
Explains why asset identification should be the cornerstone of any information security strategy
Identifies the traits a CIO must have to address cybersecurity challenges
Describes how to ensure business continuity in the event of adverse incidents, including acts of nature
Considers intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), focusing on configurations, capabilities, selection, management, and deployment
Explaining how to secure a computer against malware and cyber attacks, the text’s wide-ranging coverage includes security analyzers, firewalls, antivirus software, file shredding, file encryption, and anti-loggers. It reviews international and U.S. federal laws and legal initiatives aimed at providing a legal infrastructure for what transpires over the Internet. The book concludes by examining the role of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in our country’s cyber preparedness.

Exercises with solutions, updated references, electronic presentations, evaluation criteria for projects, guidelines to project preparations, and teaching suggestions are available upon qualified course adoption.

Data Analysis For Network Cyber-Security



Book Description:

There is increasing pressure to protect computer networks against unauthorized intrusion, and some work in this area is concerned with engineering systems that are robust to attack. However, no system can be made invulnerable. Data Analysis for Network Cyber-Security focuses on monitoring and analyzing network traffic data, with the intention of preventing, or quickly identifying, malicious activity.
Such work involves the intersection of statistics, data mining and computer science. Fundamentally, network traffic is relational, embodying a link between devices. As such, graph analysis approaches are a natural candidate. However, such methods do not scale well to the demands of real problems, and the critical aspect of the timing of communications events is not accounted for in these approaches.

This book gathers papers from leading researchers to provide both background to the problems and a description of cutting-edge methodology. The contributors are from diverse institutions and areas of expertise and were brought together at a workshop held at the University of Bristol in March 2013 to address the issues of network cyber security. The workshop was supported by the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research.

Readership: Researchers and graduate students in the fields of network traffic data analysis and network cyber security.

That's how we will resume the Internet - Edward Snowden




Through a telepresence robot, Edward Snowden speaks at TED2014 on surveillance and Internet freedom. The right to data privacy, he suggests, is not a partisan issue, but requires a fundamental reassessment of the role of the internet in our lives and the laws that protect it . "Your rights are important," he says, "because you never know when you 'll need them."Chris Anderson interview with special guest Tim Berners -Lee.

Automated Tool for Testing in Vulnerable Routers - RouterhunterBR 2.0



The RouterhunterBR is an automated security tool que finds vulnerabilities and performs tests on routers and vulnerable devices on the Internet. The RouterhunterBR was designed to run over the Internet looking for defined ips tracks or random in order to automatically exploit the vulnerability DNSChanger on home routers.

The DNSChanger is a trojan able to direct user requests to illegal sites. In practice, this malware has the ability to change the DNS settings of our machine redirecting the user to sites with malicious purposes. Imagine for example that your system is infected with this malware, what might happen is that the user to access a particular site (eg. Facebook.com) may be forwarded to an unsolicited website and potentially illegal.

The script explores four vulnerabilities in routers

Requeriments

import sys, os, argparse, itertools, requests, random, time, threading, base64, socket
from datetime import datetime
