Linux attack vectors
An attack is an actual act by a threat agent against assets of an information system. The path used to attack the target is called an attack vector. There are three main types of attack vector and threat:
- Network threats: This refers to the threat against the networks of the organization
- Host threats: These are the threats against the host, including hardware and the operating system
- Application threats: This refers to the threat against the system programs
Linux enumeration with LinEnum
Enumeration is a key for every successful attack. It is a critical phase in hacking systems, and a vital part of information gathering. During this phase, the attacker establishes a connection between them and the target (locally or remotely) to gather as much information as possible to decide on an attacking vector. To enumerate a Linux host, you can use a utility called LinEnum, and download it from https://github.com/rebootuser/LinEnum.
It is a useful shell script that gathers information...
