at vulnerabilities that are susceptible to attacks within each layer. Finally we will take a look at possible solutions to thwart malicious activity. Before we begin, let’s take a look at the original model and break down its meaning. The Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Model is a suite of protocols specifying the process of networking by splitting functions into a seven layer

possibilities in the IT sector. Unfortunately, cybercrime is also on the rise with several forms of attack including, but not limited to botnet attacks. A Botnet can simply be seen as a network of compromised set of systems that can be controlled by an attacker. These systems are able to take malicious actions as needed by the attacker without the consent of the device owner and can cause havoc. This paper is the first part of a two-part report and discusses on several reportedly known botnets

1. When running Snort IDS why might there be no alert When running a new system such as Snort IDS there is always the possibility that a user’s may run into problems fetching the data. A user may have difficulties in creating the snort configuration file. The signature file or rule set or database may be pointing to the wrong location. The database configuration must have correct parameters such as username, password and database name. According to “snort.org “ an errant pass rule could cause alerts

Q1. NAME AND DESCRIBE THREE AUTHENTICATION METHODS. Authentication is defined by Essentials Guide as is the process of determining whether someone or something is, in fact, who or what it is declared to be. Authentication means verifying the identity of someone (a user, device, or an entity) who wants to access data, resources, or applications. Validating that identity establishes a trust relationship for further interactions. Authentication is the first step in access control, and there are three
