This assignment will have you review the network structure and identify the machines, including operating systems and running services on each. You will scan and enumerate the system in your organization.

A description about the tool used to perform the scan
A list of identified target host(s) in your lab environment
What running services are detected on each (include version numbers if possible)
What the detected operating system of the servers is
Describe or list any information that you found odd or that you think the tool reported incorrectly.

Add a discussion about the attack framework and the identified system(s) information to your report.

Describe access control mechanisms in place to protect files on an enterprise system.

Authentication Discussion
Information Systems need strong security controls to ensure users and data are protected to meet the CIA Triad. The security requirements listed in FIPS 200 (Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems) include Identification and Authentication. Systems users, processes/applications, and devices must be identified and verified prior to their access to organizational resources.
Authentication is the verification of credentials to confirm the user or other entity is valid. Verification of systems users and processes delegated by users is essential as well as limiting functions and actions a user is permitted to perform within the system. Research best practices and approaches to properly authenticate a user for access to a system resource. Select at least two specific techniques(e.g. password authentication, two factor authentication, biometrics,…) and describe the technique along with the strengths and limitations. Respond to other student posts providing additional insights, feedback and/or examples as applicable.
2. Second Discussion board:

Access Control and Authorization Discussion
Describe access control mechanisms in place to protect files on an enterprise system. Specifically, drill down to permissions associated with read, write, modify, delete, or change ownership as applicable. Consider how roles and groups may enhance the administration and enforcement of access control policies.

Engage with at least one other colleague by responding to their posts with additional information, feedback and examples as applicable
