CEH-Module14 - Hacking Web Applications

Web Application A web application is a type of software application that runs on a web server and is accessed through a web browser over a network, such as the internet. It typically uses a combination of server-side scripts (like PHP, Python, or Java) to handle the logic and database interactions, and client-side scripts (like JavaScript) to manage the user interface and interactions. Web applications can range from simple, static web pages to complex, dynamic applications with real-time updates and interactive features.

Issue: After logging into netscaler gateway portal, users get “Cannot complete your request” error. Solution: You should be able to ping your storefront base URL from your storefront server. If not, you ll get “there was an error during a resources list request” error in your storefront server. End users will get “Cannot complete your request” error after logging into the netscaler gateway portal. You will have multiple storefront servers for your citrix site.

No Apps Available to You

Issue: When you login to storefront or netscaler gateway, users would end up in “There are no apps or desktops assigned to you at this time” error. Solution: There are multiple solutions to this error. First check if user is added to the delivery group (if restricted groups or users has access on delivery group) Add user to the application If your storefront is configured as https on netscaler session policy, make sure you have certificate installed on the storefront.

Host Key Algorithm

Understanding the “Couldn’t agree on host key algorithm” Error and How to Fix It When you encounter the error “Couldn’t agree on host key algorithm” while trying to connect to a Linux machine using SSH, it signifies a compatibility issue between your SSH client and the server’s supported host key algorithms. What are SSH Host Key Algorithms? SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol that enables secure communication between two systems.

WireShark

What is Wireshark Wireshark is a network packet analyzer that presents captured packet data in detail, serving as a tool to examine network activities, much like how an electrician uses a voltmeter to inspect electrical cables. It is free, open-source, and widely used for network troubleshooting, analysis, protocol development, and education. Wireshark captures traffic from various network media types such as Ethernet, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and more. Users can customize columns, set up packet colorization, and adjust column displays to optimize Wireshark for specific analysis needs.

CEH-Module13 - Hacking Web Servers

What is Web Server A web server is a software application that serves content (such as web pages, images, videos, etc.) to clients (usually web browsers) over the internet or a local network. It uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to communicate with clients and fulfill their requests. Web Server File Structure The file structure of a web server typically refers to the organization of files and directories (folders) on the server that are accessible to clients over the internet or a network.

CEH-Module12 - Evading IDS, Firewalls, and Honeypots

Intrusion Detection System An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a security tool designed to monitor network or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produce reports to a management station. IDS doesn’t stop anything that it detects instead it only reports it. IDS come in two main types: Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS): These monitor network traffic for suspicious patterns that may indicate an attack. They are placed at strategic points within the network to monitor traffic to and from all devices on the network.
