Unlocking Cyber Defenses: Verifying University Security

In this senior project, our penetration testing team at Drexel University explores advanced penetration testing methodologies to identify and exploit vulnerabilities within simulated network environments. By employing a combination of manual and automated tools, our team aims to demonstrate the efficacy of ethical hacking in strengthening organizational cyber defenses. The project not only highlights critical security weaknesses but also recommends robust countermeasures, paving the way for enhanced protective strategies in real-world systems.

Our team aimed to scrutinize and fortify the security infrastructure of the university's campus network, creating a secure digital and physical environment for students and staff alike. Utilizing a variety of tools, we detected, analyzed, and addressed any vulnerabilities within the network to ensure a robust digital environment for students and faculty. We employed a variety of tools such as NMAP, Shodan, and Metasploit for enumeration, device discovery, and exploit identification. Our main focus was on the physical security of buildings on campus with vulnerabilities to cyber attacks, namely the Creese Student Center.
