The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a set of hardware, software, people, policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates.

In cryptography, a PKI is an arrangement that binds public keys with respective user identities by means of a certificate authority (CA). The user identity must be unique for each CA. The binding is established through the registration and issuance process, which, depending on the level of assurance the binding has, may be carried out by software at a CA, or under human supervision. The PKI role that assures this binding is called the Registration Authority (RA) . For each user, the user identity, the public key, their binding, validity conditions and other attributes are made unforgeable in public key certificates issued by the CA.

The term trusted third party (TTP) may also be used for certificate authority (CA). The term PKI is sometimes erroneously used to denote public key algorithms, which do not require the use of a CA.

PostHeaderIcon Cost BenefitAnalysis, Using the Results of the Analysis

http://www.logicalsecurity.com

A cost benefit analysis compares countermeasure costs with money saved by having it in place

After an analysis is completed on the assets, their threats, risks, & countermeasures are identified

A cost benefit analysis compares countermeasure costs with money saved by having it in place
Cost of countermeasure = cost of purchase, maintenance, affects on productivity, updating, interoperability
Only by understanding the cost & benefit of a countermeasure can a good business decision be made

ALE after Implementing Countermeasure

PostHeaderIcon Incident Response

Incident Response is the planning and preparation performed prior to a security attack. This brief tutorial is an introduction to developing an incident response team and their roles and responsibilities including PR-Public Relations. In addition, this tutorial provides an introduction into computer forensics which is the study of computer technology and how it related to the legal system. Lastly, this tutorial reviews some of the initial “first steps” to computer CSI-computer scene investigation.

PostHeaderIcon Offline Password Cracking – John The Ripper tool

http://www.logicalsecurity.com
In this video well demonstrate offline password cracking using John The Ripper tool.

Lets first change to the directory where John is located. Here you can see some important binaries used by John.
First well execute the unshadow script which will merge the /etc/pass and /etc/shadow files into a single file, called crack.db. This file will be used by John for password brute force attack.

Lets see the content of the crack.db file

You can see there are various option that can be used for cracking password using John.

You can see that the brute force attack we previously initiated is still under progress.
John has now discovered the password toor for the user root.
Now lets uses the —show switch to display the password in plaintext.
John stores the obtained passwords in the john. Pot file.

You can see that the dictionary attack (in console 2) has now been completed and john has revealed 4 passwords.
Youll notice that the dictionary attack was much faster than the brute force attack carried out earlier.
The program has now stored all the obtained passwords along with their respective hashes in the john.pot file.
You can also see the plain-text password in pass-hases.db (used in the dictionary attack).
