Discussion
April 1st, 2022
This week’s reading has to do with Internet, protocols, web services such as DNS and securing them from attack. Answer the following questions, and then reply to two classmate posts.
- Almost everyone has seen a phishing attack at some point. What do you immediately check for as the first thing to see if a potential email is legitimate or not. Share your best practices for dealing with potentially dangerour emails.
- How would you remove a botnet infection from a network computer? What steps would you take first? How would you identify which member host was a member of the botnet on a medium to large network?
- Research a recent security compromise caused by a SQL injection attack. Share with the class what you found about how the attack was launched, why it was done, and what the consequences were.
