Network Security: Glossary

Key Points

Introduction	Network security affects all modern communication!
ARP Poisoning Attack	Hacker needs to be on the same local network as the victim and server. ARP Poisoning results in spurious entries in a victim’s ARP table. The affected ARP table causes the victim to transmit messages to the hacker inspite of using the server’s IP address. Unless the victim inspects the route to the server, this attack cannot be discovered.
SSL Strip Attack	User needs to have accessed the secure site before the attack and needs to return to the website before the browser cache expires
SSH Honeypot	SSH needs to be remain available at a higher port which is communicated securely to valid users
