Attack Type: Web Defacement + DDOS SYN Flood
Course Overview
| In the
Web Defacement scenario, an attack using brute-force techniques is launched
against the SSH daemon on an Apache web server. The attacker, upon successful
breach of credentials, defaces the website with their own “hacked “version
prior to detection. Participants must first identify and subsequently stop
the attacker from taking further actions and correct the defacement in order
to maintain the company’s image. In the DDOS SYN Flood scenario, In this scenario, internet bots are leveraged to generate a large amount of traffic targeting one of the organization’s websites. The traffic floods and eventually overloads the bandwidth and resources of the target, crippling the server and causing a denial-of-service (DoS). Participants will identify and mitigate the attack using various tools to successfully defend the attack, implement rules to prevent subsequent attacks and restore services and operational functionality. |
