Hi, I'm working with my professor this Fall semester on an intrusion security tolerance project that I need some help on. First of all, I've done nothing related to network security before, but I am pretty fluent in C (took Data structures course last semester). Here is a description of what I need to accomplsh:
- Research the various vulnerabilities that can occur on our infrastructure (Linux 8.0, Apache 1.3.23, MySQL DB svr, CGI scripts in Perl or PHP)
(I've already finsihed this first part)
- Gain an understanding of the vulnerabilities and learn how to exploit them by writing C programs
- Test the code on the server
What I am looking for are some good texts or websites that will give me a crash course in security, and teach me how I can write attack programs in C. Can anyone help me out? I really need to get cracking. Thanks!
