WGU C844 Emerging Technologies in Cybersecurity Task 1 GRP1 GRP1 TASK 1: NMAPAND WIRESHARK Emerging Technologies in Cybersecurity-C844 TASK 1: NMAP AND WIRESHARK B. Summary of nmap/Zenmap Results After completing the scan with Zenmap, I identified several problems. The vulnerabilities and their implications based on the scan are as follows: 1. 10.168.27.14 (Linux 2.6.32) ssh service OpenSSH 5.5p1 Debian, (protocol 2.0). Vulnerability: This version of OpenSSH grants a remote attacke r access to itemize all accounts on the system while processing authentication requests. Implication: Attackers can send specifically constructed series of packets and observe behavior of a server to detect the presence of a valid username. If this system isn’ t configured appropriately or a user account is set with a default password, a hacker can weaken the port and control the entire system.
