3. Technology Selection In this section, I will recommend tools that auditors can utilize during their tasks and explore potential integrations within our system, and test it. 3.1. Phase 1: System Architecture Audit © Network Discovery: Tool Nmap NetScanTools: Presentation A. versatile open-source network scanning tool. It performs network discovery, port scanning, service enumeration, and OS fingerprinting It's used to identify active hosts and understand network services running on devices. It helps auditors gain insights into the network architecture and potential security risks. Is designed to discover, manage, and audit network systems and devices, Itincludes tools for: Port scanning DNS resolution Network mapping Traceroute IP address management © Network and Service Scanning: Tool Zenmap Angry IP Scanner Presentation A graphical front-end for Nmap. It simplifies network scanning by providing a sual interface for Nmap's functionality. It makes network scanning more accessible and helps auditors visualize scan results and identify potential security concerns. Angry IP Scanner is a port scanner. It scans IP addresses and their corresponding open ports to discover active devices and services. It’s efficient for network reconnaissance.¢ Network Traffic Analy: ‘Tool Presentation Wireshark It captures and analyzes network traffic to provide insight into communication between systems. Wireshark assists in examining network behaviors, detecting anomalies, and monitoring traffic patterns to uncover potential security issues Tepdump Is a command-line packet analyzer. It captures and displays network traffic, providing insight into communication between systems. ‘Tepdump helps auditors analyze network behavior, identify anomalies, and monitor traffic patterns to detect potential security issues. 3.2.
