Sample of Initial Testing
This is a sample test to find vulnerabilities in the network. In this case, we are looking for open ports on a network. In doing so, we identified 5 open ports. Next, we conduct an additional scan to identify the services (products) and versions that are running. In this case, we can see MSFT Windows vsn 7-10 is running. We also see a version of Lynis is out of date. A bad guy can now go to the internet look up the version of Lynis and see if there are immediate vulnerabilities that can be exploited with this version.
