Security in the news this week…
In the national news…
Utah Dept. of Health hacked, over 500,000 700,000 affected and the number’s growing
April 9, 2012 - Marjorie Cortez provides an update on a breach that started out bad enough last week, and
just got a lot worse: Some 280,000 people had their Social Security numbers listed in state health data
stolen from a computer server last week, state officials announced Monday, calling the data breach the
largest in state history. Another 500,000 victims had less sensitive personal information stolen, state
health department and technology services officials said during a press conference at the State Office
Building. “Less sensitive” information was described as names, dates of birth and addresses. Officials said
there may be some overlap between the groups, and information is still being reviewed. The victims are
likely to be people who have visited a health care provider in the past four months.

CHAPTER 2
Chapter 2 - Identifying Potential Risks
What is a risk?
WASHINGTON, Feb 7, 2011 -- Cyberspies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and
left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system, according
to current and former national-security officials. The spies came from China,
Russia and other countries, these officials said, and were believed to be on a
mission to navigate the U.S. electrical system and its controls. Wall Street Journal
What is an attack?
Attack - when an unauthorized individual or group attempts to
access, modify or damage systems or environment.
Attacks
1.
2.
3.
Strategies – the bad guys have one or more of these goals:
Access attack – access to resources
Modification or repudiation attack – modify information
Denial-of-service attack – disrupt the network, denying users access

CHAPTER 2
Types of Attacks
Access attack – someone who should not be
able to wants to access your resources
Eavesdropping, snooping, interception
Modification and repudiation attack –
someone wants to modify information in your
systems
Change grades, fraudulent transactions,
Denial of Service (DoS) attack – an attempt
to disrupt your network and services
CHAPTER 2 OVERVIEW
TCP/IP Attacks
Sniffing the Network
Scanning Ports
TCP attacks
TCP SYN or TCP ACK Flood Attack
TCP Sequence Number Attack
TCP/IP Hijacking
UDP attacks

CHAPTER 2
Understanding OVAL
Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language
http://oval.mitre.org
OVAL is an information security community effort to standardize how to assess
and report upon the machine state of computer systems. OVAL includes a
language to encode system details, and an assortment of content repositories
held throughout the community.
A community written standard in XML to promote open and publicly
available security content
Consists of:
A language
An interpreter
A repository
CHAPTER 2
Surviving Malicious Code
Viruses
Trojan horses
Logic Bombs
Worms
Antivirus software
CHAPTER 2
Social Engineering
Social engineering is a process where an attacker
attempts to acquire information about your network and
system by talking to people in the organization.
Preys on the trusting nature of people to breach
security.
Can be prevented through training and standard
security policies.
CHAPTER 2
Auditing Processes and Files
Security log files
Security audit files
Vulnerability scanner
UNIT 2
Unit 2 Assignment
Unit Two Project
1. Perform a web search using your
favorite search engine (yahoo.com,
google.com, etc) on some of the
most popular methods used to
implement the various attacks
discussed in Chapter 2. Then,
discuss ways to prevent these
attacks or at least minimize their
effects on your organization.
2. Security topology covers four
primary areas of concern (design
goals, security zones,
technologies, and business
requirements). Describe each area
including key topics in each area.
3. Discuss software threats
classified as malicious code on
page 81 of your text.
CHAPTER 2
Clarification of Question 1 on Unit 2 Project
From the Project Rubric: For example, look for the methods
used to start a Denial of Service (DoS) attack like which
software is used, the motives behind DoS, etc. Then, discuss
ways to prevent these attacks or at least minimize their effects
on your organization.
There are attack types from page 54 through 63.
Don’t just discuss DoS, there are various types listed.
