A comprehensive security assessment of a highly safe-guarded department at Drexel University, targeting digital and physical vulnerabilities to bolster defenses against malicious actors.
The purpose of this project is to identify potential vulnerabilities for a highly safe-guarded department at Drexel University. Additionally, we are looking to test the pre-existing safety measures to ensure that the sensitive data stored in this department is truly secure. Our intentions are to use a multitude of penetration tools and testing techniques to cover a large portion of the attack surface of this department.
This project entails a detailed security analysis of a highly safe-guarded department at Drexel University. We will examine digital platforms and physical premises to identify potential vulnerabilities. It spreads through several critical phases: enumeration and web application testing on public servers to uncover software flaws; wireless network attacks to test the integrity of wireless communications; physical penetration tests aimed at exposing gaps in physical security measures; and the identification of obsolete or improperly configured technology that could serve as entry points for cyber threats. This project aims to reveal weaknesses that could be exploited by cybercriminals, thereby enabling the institution to fortify its defenses against a range of security threats. We will do so by leveraging tools like Nmap, Censys, Burp Suite, Dirb, Nessus, OWASP ZAP, Aircrack-ng, and a variety of metasploit tools, alongside techniques such as avoiding detection and bypassing door-locking mechanisms.
