# Port Blocking |
# Port Blocking |

|

Port blocking is an essential practice in hardening the security of your network and devices. It involves restricting, filtering, or entirely denying access to specific network ports to minimize exposure to potential cyber threats. By limiting access to certain ports, you can effectively safeguard your systems against unauthorized access and reduce the likelihood of security breaches. |

# Privilege escalation / User based Attacks |
# Privilege escalation |
||||||
|
|

Privilege escalation is a technique where an attacker increases their access level within a system, moving from lower to higher permissions, such as from a standard user to an administrator. This can be achieved by exploiting system vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or security weaknesses. It is critical to implement strong access controls, adhere to the principle of least privilege, and regularly update and patch systems to defend against such attacks. |

Reconnaissance is the first phase of a cyberattack, during which attackers gather as much information as possible about a target system, network, or organization. The goal of reconnaissance is to identify potential vulnerabilities, entry points, and other valuable details that can be exploited in subsequent attack phases. |

The `route` command is a network utility used to view and manipulate the IP routing table on Unix-like and Windows systems. It allows users to display the current routes that data packets take, as well as add, modify, or delete routes for network traffic. This command is often used in network troubleshooting and configuration to control how data flows between different networks and subnets. By specifying routes manually, administrators can define specific paths for network traffic, bypassing default routes and optimizing performance or security. |

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a practice of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. It treats infrastructure configuration as software, allowing it to be version-controlled, tested, and automatically deployed. IaC enables consistent, repeatable environment setups, reduces manual errors, facilitates rapid scaling and disaster recovery, and improves collaboration between development and operations teams. Popular IaC tools include Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and Ansible, which use declarative or imperative approaches to define infrastructure states. This approach is fundamental to DevOps practices, cloud computing, and the efficient management of complex, dynamic IT environments. |

Wireshark is a powerful, open-source network protocol analyzer used for real-time packet capture and analysis. It allows users to examine network traffic at a microscopic level, capturing and interactively browsing the traffic running on a computer network. Wireshark can decode a wide variety of network protocols, making it an essential tool for network troubleshooting, security analysis, software and protocol development, and education. It provides a user-friendly graphical interface and offers features like deep inspection of hundreds of protocols, live capture and offline analysis, and the ability to read/write many different capture file formats. Wireshark is widely used by IT professionals, security experts, and developers for diagnosing network issues and understanding network communication. |
