Summary:
This paper delves into research on the design and development of server security and ethical hacking. It is structured by four pivotal chapters. The initial chapter, focuses on defense, and introduces the fundamental concepts of server security, including the CIA triad, threats, attacks and vulnerabilities, setting the foundation in understanding the complexity in securing servers. The next chapter moves a more practical guide in setting and hardening a public web server in an enterprise setting, explaining essential security measures and best practices for robust defense mechanisms.
The next half, focus on the attack, and delves into the specifics of common web server vulnerabilities such as SQL Injections and Cross-site Scripting, providing insight into their way of working and the ways of mitigation. The final chapter introduces the role and methodologies of an Ethical Hacker, provides a discussion on vulnerability measurement standards and essential tools used in ethical hacking.
