The Absolute Beginners Guide to Cyber Security Part 2

You will learn the different components of Hacking: Reconnaissance, Scanning, Gaining access, Maintaining access & Clearing tracks. You will have a firm understanding of places of hacking and mind map apart from gaining insights of denial of service, distributed denial of service, syn flooding attach using hping3, counter measures and Metasploit test.

Section 5: Counter Measures

Counter-measures

DoS/DDoS countermeasure strategies

Detech and neutralize handlers

Monitoring the activities running on a system of network

Deflect attacks by load balancing

Mitigate attacks disabling unnecessary services

Intrusion detection systems

Wavelet analysis

Section 6: Metasploit test

Metasploit is so popular is the wide range of tasks that it can perform to ease the work of penetration testing to make

systems more secure. Metasploit is available for all popular operating systems.
