Analysis and Reflection Papers

I have learned through “ISYS 497: Cyber Fusion Center” course many of things such as Cybersecurity related issues. This course gave me acknowledge to realize and identify Cybersecurity issues. By using some tools and steps. For instance, I learned how I do a pre-assessment which is the first step of breakthrough test and how I collect information about the targets. Moreover, I learned what are the tools that use to collect information such as Ping and Nmap. Also, I learned what is the next step after I do a pre-assessment which is Vulnerability Scanning I learned the goal of doing this stage is to find the weakness in the target host and the web application that host is running, also, I learned what are the tools can I use them for this phase for example Nessus and Acunetix. Furthermore, I understood the difference between Nessus and Acunetix which is Nessus is used to scan outside network though Acunetix is used to scan web application. Furthermore, after I finish a pre-assessment and vulnerability scan stages I learned the third phase which is exploitation, this stage is putting the information that I got it from the previous phases to work and the used tools in this work is called “Cobalt Strike”. After I done these stages I learned to write a report to notify the client about weakness points and the report should involve all high risk and only important medium risk.

I learned through the “ISYS 497: Cyber Fusion Center” how can I find an IP address even in Mac, Windows and Linux. An addition, I learned how to adventure XSS vulnerabilities while I am doing Acunetix scans and that by expand the HTTP request. I knew some valued tools such as Metasploitable which does not need a high skill to use it, this tool is helpful to get more knowledge about penetration testing.

The “ISYS 497: Cyber Fusion Center” course gave me an amazing opportunity to apply what I had learn theoretical to do them practically. That will help me to understand my major perfectly. Additionally, to the experience which I got it that helps me when I apply for job. Also, this course gave a big picture about my major that of course will Make me more specialized in my career. Also, I knew the Netcraft program which is provides comprehensive site information and pushing protection when browsing the web this tool use in Phase 2- while doing vulnerability scanning
