Abstract

The competitiveness of business enterprises entails the need for competitive advantage to lean on the ability of Cybersecurity (CS) specialists to apply resources in meeting shifting needs. A specialist’s approach robustly must offer solutions to storage convenience, and on-demand access to a shared pool of IT resources in a secured manner. The reality of system subjectivity to security threats and vulnerabilities remains an accentuating matter. In this paper, a framework by which penetration testing is conducted to highlight possible weaknesses within a business infrastructure, simulate attacks to exploit vulnerabilities. Denial of Service (DoS) and Man-in-the-Middle attacks, and a bit of WEP cracking; investigated. The outcome of white box approach using on-campus and home-Lab help in the critical reflection on countermeasures and prevention mechanisms as applied to mitigate against attacks.
