The Ethernet LAN has many security weaknesses when facing attacks externally and internally. This Presentation will helps user How they can Secure there LAN Network From unwanted threats
3. INTRODUCTION TO LAN
Any network that is connected on a same subnets lies
under the category of LAN
LAN Share resources of computer which includes:
1) File Sharing
2) Voice chatting
3) Message Sending
4) Desktop Sharing
4. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT LAN
•Information about host
•Devices that are connected on the subnet
•IP Address of the system
•Remote Services
•Events Logs
9. WHY SECURITY
Any medium whether it is wired or wireless must have
some strong security consideration.
Using LAN, security can be helpful for the user who
have a large network connected on a LAN, they must
go through the process of analysis that interacts with
LAN
10. THREATS
Following are the list of threats that a
LAN Network faces:
•MAN IN THE MIDDLE ATTACK
•SMURF ATTACK
•IP SPOOFING
•DENIAL OF SERVICES
•ARP POISONING
11. THREATS
MAN IN THE MIDDLE ATTACK:
The man-in-the middle attack intercepts a communication
between two systems.
13. THREATS
IP SPOOFING
IP address spoofing or IP spoofing refers to the creation of
Internet Protocol (IP) packets with a forged source IP address,
called spoofing.
14. THREATS
DENIAL OF SERVICES
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed
denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make
a computer or network resource unavailable to its intended users
15. THREATS
ARP POISONING
ARP spoofing may allow an attacker to intercept data frames
on a LAN, modify the traffic, or stop the traffic altogether
22. MINIMIZING RISK
•Making Remote Connectivity disabled
•Services Like Telnet, SSH, VNC should be stopped
forcefully
•Changing Values from Registry
•Releasing and Renewing IP Addresses
25. EVALUATE PERFORMANCE
By Default Windows Xp, 7 , Vista enble the services that are not
used under he scope of a home user
Operating system performance can be cutomized from
1) Windows Services.
2) Windows Registry
3) Windows Effects
4) Monitoring Services
