January 16, 2005COMP4706 Advanced Network Security SlidedeckTo my COMP4706 students taking Advanced Network Security, as requested by so many of you, you can grab the slide deck I used for my lesson today here. If you are not one of my students you are also free to download it... but out of context (ie: not being in class) it isn't going to make a lot of sense. Especially when we use parts of threat modeling to analyze risks on network topologies. For those students that requested it, I included the really poor inked diagram I drew when we were discussing multiple trusted and untrusted zones within a single deployment. Its hard to make out there, but remember that in that scenerio, the database server is in its own trusted zone against the untrusted zone of the LAN. And then the untrusted zone of the client on the Internet has to be controlled into the trusted zone of the LAN hosting the web server. Anyways, feel free to email me if you have any questions before next class. Remember we will be learning how to scan the ports on the firewall and evaluate vulnerabilities with some pentest tools. This will be needed when you deal with the attack and defense portion of the final exam. Posted by SilverStr at January 16, 2005 07:40 PM | TrackBackComments
Hi Dana, Are there any host based firewall apps that you recommend? What are your thoughts on CISSP certification? Are there any good programs offered locally? Looking forward to your class tomorrow! Hey Craig, I typically try NOT to endorse any one product on this blog. There are benefits and drawbacks from most of the ones out there. The reality is, MOST of the host firewalls out there suck. They typically will block incoming traffic, but really don't have good inbound AND outbound control. We will get more into this in the next class, but the reality is that when packet filtering, you REALLY want to flexibility to demark both src and dest computers. As to my thoughts on CISSP certification, I think its a great program if you are looking at it from an infosec professional's position. The ideal of being a inch deep but a mile wide works well for that certification. However, if you were looking for a more hands on technical certification, you will typically find that something offered by SANS such as their GIAC certifications more to your liking. See you next class. Posted by: SilverStr at January 22, 2005 03:35 PM |
