In my previous articles, I have talked about some of the facts that you need to know about computer security generally. In this article, I want to look at some of the computer security checklists that you need to follow you need to confirm whether your devices or network infrastructure are secured or not. Follow me as we are going to look at this together in this article.

Now the checklists for Computer Security…

#1 Strong passwords 

One of the key components of computer security is strong passwords. You have to use strong passwords in order to keep your devices secured.

There is no device or password that cannot be cracked but using strong passwords will make it somehow difficult for hackers to have access to your device. 

#2 Antivirus updates 

Other key components of computer security awareness are the habit of updating your anti-virus regularly. You have to make sure that you always update your anti-virus and most importantly your plugins and themes.

Software developers always release patches in order to cover security loopholes. That is why you also should cultivate the habit of updating your anti-virus and themes as well as plugins regularly. 

#3 Update your Operating System

You should also cultivate the habit of updating your Operating System and all other components.

Most of the software developers are in the habit of rushing to market without completing work on the Operating Systems.

They always release patches to cover up and update the OS. that is why you should not joke with these patches because hackers can capitalise on these lapses to attack your device and steal sensitive information.

#4 Back up important files

I don’t know about you, but I have lost important files before. Some of this loss came through laptop theft and virus attacks among others.

Some times I wish I had backed up those files. You should learn to always back up your files regularly.

This will also allow you to return back to normal business during a serious catastrophic attack. You should never joke with system backup at any time.

#5 Use of encryption techniques

As part of your security awareness checklists, you should always learn to use encryption techniques when you are transmitting data from senders to receivers.

Encryption ensures that data can not be understood when they are hijacked while it is being sent from senders to receivers. This will ensure that sensitive information does not fall into wrong hands.

#6 Firewall

A major component of your computer security checklist is the use of firewalls. Firewalls prevent or allow some types of data or processes to come in or go out of your devices based on pre-defined rules that are set.

You can make use of firewalls to explicitly deny or allow some processes and actions to take place on your device. You should always learn to set up firewalls to block unwanted processes.

#7 Standard guidelines

It is also expected that organizations will have guidelines concerning what is permitted or not permitted on the corporate network.

It is a well-known fact that most of the attacks on a corporate network will be coming from the internet.

That is why organisations need to set up internet policies and make sure that all employees and stakeholders are following the rules.

#8 Physical Security

One of the major aspects that should not be taken for granted is the physical security of your devices. You have to make sure that it is only an authorised person that has access to those devices.

You should also learn to keep your devices away when they are not in use. Sometimes, you need to make sure server rooms are transparent enough so that you will know what is going on in those rooms. Besides CCTV can be installed to monitor activities around your devices at every point in time.

#9 Hackers are evolving

Believe me, hackers do not use the same method over and over again.

They are evolving. There are always devising new methods of attacking devices and network infrastructure.

That is why the Network Security Expert should also keep himself abreast of new methods of attacks and come up with counter-measures. He also needs to enlighten stakeholders on how not to fall victim of those attacks as well.

Passwords are one of the ways that you can use to secure your devices from unauthorised access. When you have a strong password, you will be able making it difficult from hackers and other unauthorised users from having access to your device.

In this article, I want to look at means of recovering unknown password. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.

Now the ways…

#1 Guessing

The easiest means of recovering an unknown password is through guessing. You can actually try different combinations of words that you feel like trying until one actually works. Most times , this might not work when you are trying to recover lost password.

#2 Brute force

When you use brute force attack, you use a combination of different characters in order to see when you are able to unlock the password. This can also be used when you are trying to have unauthorised access to devices.

#3 Dictionary attack

This used a combination of pre defined words to try to access use some common words or passwords that almost everyone be already know as your password.

That is why you should not use common English words as your password.

#4 Shoulder Surfing

The easiest way of discovering an unknown password is through shoulder surfing. In this case now, you just look over the shoulder of someone typing his or her password.

That is why you have to make sure that nobody is looking at you when you are typing your password.

#5 Social Engineering

This happens when you trick unsuspecting users to reveal their passwords. At times, people might use what you posted on social media to determine your password.

That is why you have to be very careful of what you are posting on social media. It can make or Mar you.

In my previous article, I have looked at all that you need to know about networking basics. In this article, I want to look at all that you need to know about data Packets in network security.

Data Packets In Network Security

After you might have established a connection with the network through cables or wireless methods, the next thing will actually be to send the data. in doing this, you have to identify where you want the data to be sent.

It should be noted that all computers have an IP address. This is a series of four numbers between 0 and 255 that is separated by dots. A good example is 192.168.1.1.

The second part is for than to format the data for transmission. All data are in binary forms (1s and 0s). This binary data is placed into packets, roughly less than 65,000 bytes.

The first few bytes consist of the header. This header state where the packer is going, where it comes from and how many packets are coming as part of the transmission.

There is actually more than just one header, but for now, I will discuss the headers as just one entity.

Some attacks such as IP spoofing may try to change the header of packets in order to give false information. Other methods of attacks simply try to intercept packets and read the contents, thus compromising the data.

A packet can have multiple headers. In fact , most packets will have at least three headers. The IP header has information such as the IP addresses for the source and the destination, as well as what protocol the packet is.

The TCP header has information such as the port number. the Ethernet header has information such as the MAC address for the source and the destination.

If a packet is encrypted with Transport Layer Security, it will also have a TLS header.

In my previous article, I have thrown more light on some of the facts that you need to know about networks generally. In this article, I will be looking at some of the facts that you should know about Uniform Resource Location also known as URL or web addresses.

The first major issue is to understand how packets reach their proper destination. Even small networks have Computers that could be a potential destination for packets.

IP Addresses and the Internet

The internet also has millions of computers that are spread across the globe. How can you ensure that a packet arrives at its proper destination? this situation is no different from a letter not arriving at its proper destination.

In this article, I will begin by looking at IPv4 IP addresses. This is due to the fact that it is the most common version of an IP address.

An IPv4 address is a series of four three-digit numbers separated by periods. (eg 193.168.1.1).

Each of three-digit numbers must be between  0 and 255. An address 192.168.0.247 would not be a valid one. The reason for this rule is that these addresses are actually four binary numbers. The computer simply display them to you in decimal format.

Recall that 1 byte is 9 bits. (1s and 0s) and am 8-bit binary number converted to decimal format will be between 0 and 255. A total of 32 bits means that approximately a 4.2billion IP addresses exist.

The IP address of a computer highly informs you about that computer. The first byte or the first computer in that IP address reveals what network class the machine belongs to.

The IP range of 127s is not listed in the above screenshot. The IP address 127.0.0.1 designated to the machine you are in, regardless of the IP address assigned to your machine. This address is referred to as the ‘loopback address. This address is used to test the machine and the NIC card.

These particular classes are very important as they direct you to the part of the address that represents the network, and to the part that represents the node. For example, in a Class A address, the first two octets represent the network and the second two octets represent the node.

Finally, in a Class C address, the first three octets represent the network, and the last represents the node. There are also some very specific IP address ranges you should be aware of.

The first, as mentioned previously is 127.0.0.1 or also called the loopback address. It is another way of referring to the network interface card of the machine you are on. private IP addresses are another issue that one should be aware of. Certain ranges of IP addresses are being designated for use within networks.

These cannot be used as public IP addresses but can be used for internal.

Workstations and servers. Those IP addresses are:

10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.169.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

Sometimes, people who are new to networking, have some trouble understanding public and private IP addresses. A good example is an office building. Without a single office building, each office number must be unique. There can only be one room 101 within that building. This means that it is clear to everyone which room it is.

But there are also other office buildings, many of which have their own office 101. Simply view private IP addresses as office numbers. Even though the number should be unique, there may be other networks with the Sam IP. Public IP addresses are more like traditional mailing addresses. They must be unique worldwide.

When communicating from office to office, you can use the office number. However, to send a letter to another building, you have to use the complete mailing address. it is the same type of process that should be followed in networking. You can communicate within your network using private IP addresses, but to communicate outside of your network must be through a public IP address.

One of the roles of a gateway router is to perform what is called network address translation (NAT), a router takes the private IP address on outgoing packets and replaces it with the public IP address of the gateway router so that the packet can be routed through the internet.

In my previous article, I have talked about all that you need to know about IP addresses in network security. In this article, I want to talk about all that you need to know about IP subnetting. Follow me as we are going to look at this together in this article.

IP Subnetting

Subnetting is simply the process of splitting up a network into smaller portions. For example, if you have a network using the IP address 192.168.1.X ( X being whatever the address is for the specific computer) , then you have allocated 255 possible IP addresses.

What if you want to divide that into two separate subnetworks? This can be done through subnetting.

Technically speaking, the subnet make is a 32-bit number that is assigned to each host to divide the 32-bit binary IP address into network and node portions. It does not accept random numbers. The first value of a subnet mask must be 255, 154, 252, 248, 240, 224, and 128.

The network IP address and the subnet mask will be accepted by the computer, which will then use a binary AND operation to combine them.

A subnet mask is present regardless of the fact that you might have never needed to use subnetting. If you have a Class C IP address, then your network subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and finally, if it is a Class A, your subnet mask is 255.0.0.0

6 Common Terminologies In Computer Security

When it comes to the issue of security of our properties or our devices, it seems to be an issue that concerns all of us. In this article, I want to talk about six common Terminologies in computer Security. Follow me as we will familiarize ourselves with these terms in this article.

#1 Threat

A threat can be seen as an action that has the tendency to violate or compromise computer security. Anything that you do or someone else does that can open up your system to attack is a threat.

#2 Exploit

Exploit has to do with any breach in computer security that allows people to take advantage of the vulnerability of a system.

Let’s say for example you have a weak password on your system or you do not have a password at all and this allows people to steal vital information from your system. That is a typical example of an exploit.

#3 Vulnerability

This has to do with the existence of weakness, design or implementation error that can lead to unexpected, undesirable events that can compromise the security of a system.

#4 Cracker, attacker or intruder

This is an individual who breaks into a system in order to steal or destroy information available on that particular system. Some also like to refer to them as Dark Angels.

#5 Attack

The attack is any action derived from intelligent threats that are meant to violate the security of a system.

#6 Data theft

This has to do with any actions that are carried out in order to steal critical information from the users’ system. Most at times, passwords and other vital documents are stolen in order to use the user’s identity to commit crimes.

First and foremost, there are many of us that are so careless about our devices. How many of us password our system or devices.

Some do not even believe that it is necessary to add strong passwords to their devices.

This makes it very easy for intruders to have access to your devices. In this article, I want to talk about four reasons why you need computer security. Follow me as we are going to look at some of these reasons together in this article.

What is computer security?

Security can be defined as the state of well being of information and infrastructure that are stored inside our devices.

Computer Security is the protection of computer resources and other information that are stored and processed on a computer system.

Why then do we need computer security…

#1 CIA

Computer Security is needed in order to protect the Confidentiality, Integrity and availability of computer systems and resources.

If will ensure that information is available when they are needed and that it is coming from the expected source.

#2 Complexity 

You also need to know that computer administration and management has become so complex and this has provided more avenue for attacks.

For instance, some of us like to have many apps on our devices. The truth of the matter is that the more app that you have, the more medium for hackers to attack your devices. 

#3 Evolution of technology 

Another major is that the evolution of new technologies has focused more on ease of use than security. Some of the new devices try to make their devices easier to use and they do not try in any way to make their devices difficult so that more people will appreciate their products.

This also creates an avenue for hackers to attack legitimate users.

#4 Network paths

Also, when two or more devices are connected to share resources together, it will create an avenue for network attacks.

In this case, once the intruder is successful in attacking one of the devices, it will also spread to other devices on the network as well.

There are many things that can happen when it comes to computer security.

So many things can go wrong. If you are not security conscious and take the security of your devices serious, it can open you up to many forms of attacks.

Potential losses due to Security Attacks

In this article, I want to look at some of the potential losses due to security attacks. Follow me as we are going to analyze this together in this article.

#1 Misuse of resources

It is being said that when you don’t know the bye of something, abuse is inevitable. That is the same with someone that has access to your resources without your consent.

They are going to use the resources available on your system in a way that it will be of no use to use. This at times might even harm your reputation.

#2 Data loss

Also, unauthorized access to a computer and other personal devices can also lead to Data loss for the user. It is very possible for the individual that has access to such devices to steal personal data that belongs to the owner.

#2 Financial loss

 Also, unauthorised access to computer devices can lead to financial losses. At times, hackers are able to steal personal information including passwords. This will allow them to move funds from bank accounts. 

#3 Denial of service

Stealing of personal data from computers and other devices can also leads to denial of service attacks.

This happens when online or computer resources are not available to users as at when needed. It can deny legitimate users access to resources needed at any given time.

#4 Loss/theft

Unauthorized access can also leads to loss or theft of computer resources. The intruder might want to steal personal information and use it for social engineering attacks. This might allow the intruder to commit crimes with data that are stolen from the computer devices. 

#5 Loss of trust

Now I want you to imagine! Let us imagine that someone committed a crime in your name. Do you think it will be that easy for you to clear your name?

People that have known you will now tag you as a thief. If the culprit is not apprehended, it will be very difficult for you to clear your name. That is why you have to guard your data jealously.

#6 Identity theft

Another issue you can face due to security attacks is identity theft. It will be very easy for people to take on your personality and use it in committing crimes. Some of these hackers can steal your National Identity Number or Social Security Number and use it to commit serious crimes.

In my previous article, there are several things that I have said about computer security. In this article, I really want to clear some doubts.

I will be talking about some of the elements of computer security so that users can understand what computer security is all about. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.

#1 Confidentiality

This has to do with ensuring that information is only accessible to only those that are authorised to view that information. It will ensure that information is not unnecessarily tampered with.

#2 Authenticity 

This has to do with assurance of the origin of the information. There are ways that senders and receivers can always follow in order to ensure that the information is actually coming from the right source.

 #3 Integrity

Integrity in computer security has to do with ensuring that information is complete, original and that they have not tampered. All this ensures that the receiver can trust that the information; that are been received are in the original state as sent by the sender.

#4 Availability

It has to do with ensuring that the information is available to the right user at the right time without any delay whatsoever. As long as the user has the right credentials, they must be able to assess all the necessary information. That they need.

#5 Non-repudiation

Non-repudiation is a process or technology that ensures that a party to information is not able to deny the fact that they are the one that signed a particular document. It allows the receiver to trace the exact origin of the document that they have received.

In my previous article, I have talked about some of the facts that we need to know about computer security.

I also discussed how you should always take the security of your devices seriously.

Discussing Ease of Use Triangle

In this article, I want to talk about all that you need to know about the ease of use triangle in computer security. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.

When one considers devices that are released generally, you will understand that they are very easy to use.

It is not that the creators do not consider security, but they always try to make sure that it is straightforward to use generally.

This also means that the more these organisations produce these devices and move towards these ease of use, they will be moving away from security.

That shows that when organisations try to make their devices easier for users to use,

When it comes to organisations, you as the Security Manager have to understand that some of the employees might not really take security seriously. They will feel the inconveniencies when they have to change their passwords every three weeks.

This might lead to a situation where they might take the security of devices with levity.

You as the Manager has to ensure that security measures are complied with. You might program the applications to force staffs to change their passwords as at when due.

One thing is very sure in life, you cannot be doing things the same way and be expecting a different result. The same thing also applies to the security of gadgets and devices. One is expected to follow the rules and protocols when you actually want to achieve the desired results.

Besides in all organisations , there are protocols that are established that guides how computer security functions.

This ensures that organisations get the same results as far as certain protocols are followed. In this article, I want to look at some of the fundamental concepts of computer security. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.

Now the fundamental concepts

#1 Precaution 

Precaution as part of fundamental concepts of computer security has to do with adhering to the Dos and Donts of using the computing device. In this case, you have been told what to do and what you should not do when it comes to the use of your devices and you try as much as possible to follow the rules. 

#2 Maintainance 

When it comes to Maintainance, you are trying as much as possible to adjust to the changes that are happening as far as the devices are concerned.

There are times that you will need to updates patches and anti-virus on your devices in order to be sure that you are staying secured. 

#3 Reaction 

This has to do with taking steps when some unexpected events happen. There are some that are fond of doing nothing when they noticed unusual events.

Let’s say that you discovered some have had undue access to your device.

You may need to change your password and create a stronger one. You just have to make sure that something is done so that something like that will not happen again. This will help you to stay secure.

Analysing Five Layers Of Computer Security

In my previous article, I have discussed at length some of the facts that you need to know about computer security. In this article, I want to look at the five layers of computer security. Follow me as we will be analysing this together in this article.

#1 Physical Security

This has to do with the process of safeguard network hardware, computers, and other infrastructure from intruders and thieves.

Most at times, you have to ensure that computer devices are kept away from locations where they can be damaged or tampered with. You have to keep some of these data away from unauthorised access as much as possible.

#2 Network Security 

This has to do with protecting your network appliances and there services from unauthorised modification, destruction and disclosure.

This will prevent hackers and unauthorised users from having access to your network resources. 

#3 System security 

This protect system and it’s resources as well as information from corruption, theft and unauthorised access to users resources. This will ensure that computer systems available in the organisation are kept secured. 

#4 Application Security

This has to do with the use of software, hardware and procedural methods to protect applications against external attacks.

It has to do with all measures that organisations have put in place in order to ensure that users are secured when using organisations resources. 

#5 User security 

This ensures that a valid user is logged in and that the logged-in user is allowed to have access to all the resources that are needed in order to guarantee user experience.

7 Types Of Computer Security Attacks For Home Users

When it comes to computer security attacks, the most vulnerable set of people are the home users. This is simply because most times they always feel that there is absolutely nothing on their device that will be of interest to hackers.

This at times always make them take things for granted. In this article, I want to talk about seven types of computer security attacks for home users. Follow me as we are going to look at this together in this article.

When it comes to these attacks, we can categorise into two major parts. There are some that we can categorise as attacks and some can be categorised as accidents. I will look at those two categories in this article.

Now the attacks…

#1 Malware attacks

Malware is also known as malicious software. They are software that is capable of damaging your device. Some of this software might look as if they are good software but when you finally install them, they are capable of trying to access sensitive data on your computer.

If the owner is not careful enough, he might loose sensitive data to the activity of malware. 

#2 Email attacks

Email attacks are also one of the most common attacks that hackers and scammers always use to perpetrate their attacks. This is because almost every adult has an email address.

At one point or another, even those that do not have an email address are asked to open it. The majority of people are also fond of clicking on any link they find in an email.

You have to confirm the authenticity of links that you find in all emails before you visit such a site. Once you click on those emails, they are capable of activating viruses or malware that can destroy your device. That is why you have to be very careful. 

#3 Mobile code attack

Another form of attack is mobile code attack. In this type of attack, a website can be created that looks legit but they are meant to attack your device and steal sensitive data from your device.

That is why you have to be very careful when links are included in emails sent to you.

Some of these links are from sensitive websites where sensitive data can be stolen. That is why you must not open links that are sent to you by an unknown person. 

#4 Denial of Service attack

Another form of attack that home users can experience is a Denial of Service attack. In this kind of attack, their systems might be attacked in such a way that they are not able to have access to resources that they are trying to access.

They might be prevented from having access to resources that they need to access at any point in time. 

#5 Identity theft and computer fraud 

Another form of attack that careless computer users can experience is identity theft. When you are careless with your device, it is very possible for hackers to steal your sensitive information and use such data to commit cybercrimes.

#6 Packet sniffing 

Another issue with careless computer users is that they might always be a victim of packet sniffing. It is very possible for hackers to grab data that are being passed from one person to another.

When hackers have access to such data, they actually look at what is being sent. They might be able to divert such data. This can lead to greater attacks for such users. 

#7 Man in the middle 

When you are careless, you might become a victim of a man-in-the-middle attack. This is when a computer acts as a novice and he is being used to achieve other things that are so deadly to organisational devices.

A good example is a computer user that likes to click on any type of like sent to him. Such a user will introduce viruses to the organisational network.

Some of the accidents…

#1 Hard disk failure

One of the bad things that can happen is that if you fail to take care of your device you might experience hard disk failure.

It is very possible for viruses to penetrate into your device and your hard disk or other components will be destroyed. 

#2 Power failure and surges 

Another problem has to do with power failure and surges which can also damage computer devices. Take for example you always overcharge your laptop, there is a high tendency that the laptop might be destroyed. You have to take all precautions not to overcharge your laptop. 

Now your take on this article…

I know you might agree with some of the points that I have raised in this article.

You might not agree with some of the issues raised. Let me know your views about the topic discussed. We will appreciate it if you can drop your comment. Thanks in anticipation.

#3 Theft

Lastly, when you are careless with your device, it can be stolen. You have to make sure that you keep your computing device safe when it is not in use.

You must ensure that your device is locked up safe. Never take anything for granted. There was a time that my laptop was stolen. I was very careless then. My laptop was stolen and I have lost so many daughters since then.

In my previous article, I have talked about different elements of computer security. In this article, I want to talk about some of the things to secure in a computing environment. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.

Here are what you should secure…

#1 Hardware 

One of the very first things you need to secure is your hardware. You need to make sure that your devices are kept away from the prying eyes of thieves. You have to make sure that you don’t carelessly place your devices. You must keep it away. You also need to make sure that the server room must be transparent enough so that you can see what is going on in that server room at every point in time. 

#2 Software 

There is a need for you to also identify your software and enumerate them. You need to make sure that anti-virus are installed and they are updated regulated. You have to make that it is only lawful users that are able to access your software at. any point in time.

#3 Information 

Another major component that you need to secure is your personal information. This includes your login details such as your password, social security number, national identity number as well as other personal information that can give hackers access to your account. 

#4 Communication

Another major thing that you need to secure is your communication activities. Such communication includes instant messaging, email communications and other means of sending such communications from one person to another.

Examining Home Computers Vulnerabilities: How It Can Be Addressed

In my previous article, I have talked about some of the facts that you need to know about layers of computer security. In this article, I want to talk about some of the actions that make home computers vulnerable.

#1 Low-level security awareness

One of the reasons why home users are open to attacks is because of they little or no knowledge about computer security.

They do not know what they actually need to do in order to secure their devices. This allows hackers and crackers to take undue advantage of them.

#2 Default settings

Another mistake that opens home users to attacks is that they always retain default computer settings.

A new device will not have a password or fingerprints. It has a simple password which hackers can guess easily. If you fail to change these default settings, you are setting yourself up for more attacks.

#3 Increasing online activities

Another problem with home users is that they are always careless when they are online.

What they forget is that when they are online, they are connected to a network of networks. They are open to more attacks and some of them are even surfing the internet without having good anti-virus software.

#4 Little or no investment

There are many home users that always find it difficult to invest in Security.

They want everything absolutely free. Some cannot even afford to spend at least $10 to bit a good antivirus.

The first thing they will finish to go online and be looking for free antivirus. They ended up downloading Trojan horses.

#5 Not following security policies

Another major problem is that most home users always fail to follow standard security policies and procedures.

When home users fail to follow simple security measures that should have kept them away from troubles, they will end up entering into more troubles.
