INFOSEC Lesson log 6:

The Final Lesson log for this subject(at least thats what I heard.).
These whole week we were doing continuous lessons about physical security and other content about the whole security.

To be totally honest, I don't remember anything except for the physical securities because I like that part.
It was about how physical security is also important for our information security. The structure of the building until the possible materials used for the facility. We had an exercise about that with APC building. And I totally would say, the security of the APC s lacking. Yes because someone was able to hack the internet server, fire happens and stealing is uncountable. Well we could also say that it is also our fault for not consulting about it but in spite of that, the security aint that satisfying. How I wished that the APC could easily be changed just as the exercised, without any money limits.

Other than that We also had our final project. Our project was all about Snort(firewall). We had to port-scan and back-door detect using snort. It was not a big deal finding and implementing snort because inside Pfsense, there is packages, and one of them being snort. Seems that it was our first time presenting an implemented firewall from another firewall and our professor was impressed. What I didn't like about it was the process duration it took for me and Andrey Brian Buzon to install it. Yes, install. It is not even in the part of implementation of rules. It took us about 2 days with multiple reinstalling, searching for error solutions and changing some properties of the pfsense. It was tense, Andrey was almost about to give up when I was able to install the rules for the snort to run. After that was smooth, we were able to implement the port-scan and backdoor using the Linux Kali again. Presentation went fine so I was glad it finished within 30 minutes, because other groups had some issues with their presentation and took more than an hour to finish.
