Attack and Vulnerability Penetration Testing: FreeBSD
Abstract: Computer system security
has become a major concern over the past few years. Attacks, threats or
intrusions, against computer system and network have become commonplace events.
However, there are some system devices and other tools that are available to
overcome the threat of these attacks. Currently, cyber attack is a major
research and inevitable. This paper presents some steps of penetration in
FreeBSD operating system, some tools and new steps to attack used in this
experiment, probes for reconnaissance, guessing password via brute force,
gaining privilege access and flooding victim machine to decrease availability.
All these attacks were executed and infiltrate within the environment of
Intrusion Threat Detection Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (ITD UTM) data set.
This work is expected to be a reference for practitioners to prepare their
systems from Internet attacks.
