This Mind Map covers the Physical Security Domain out of the Common Body of Knowledge. Yep, this is the famous domain that everybody jokes about when studying for the CISSP. Guard Dogs, Security Guards, Security Lighting, it is all in this domain.

Certified Ethical Hacker – Module 2 – Footprinting Mind Map

1 Reply

I am happy to provide the second Mind Map for the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).

The second Mind Map from MindCert.com covers Footprinting. Footprinting is the initial reconnaissance that a hacker carries out in order to gleam information about the target of evaluation.

The type of information that is obtained through footprinting is normally in the public domain so this is classed as passive reconnaissance as you do not have to do anything active, against the target of evaluation at this point.

I hope you find this Mind Map useful, there are a lot more to come.

Certified Ethical Hacker – Module 1 – Ethical Hacking Mind Map

Nmap Mind Map – General Security

2 Replies

For those of you who don’t already know, Nmap is one killer application for network security. Commonly known as a port scanner, Nmap will check for the existence of open ports on the given target machines.

Nmap has a lot more than just simple port scanning techniques and supports all of the common stealth scanning techniques such as the XMAS scan, FIN scan, NULL scan, and the RST scan. This provides a tool that can provides results you can rely upon.

One other area of use for Nmap is OS detection. Based upon various results, Nmap can quite accurately detect what Operating System the target machine is running.

I have been using Nmap for about four years and have considerable experience with it. It is a command line tool but it does have a graphical user interface (GUI) for Linux, OS X, and also Windows.

What I have prepared here, is a Mind Map that provides background information and a refresher about the types of scans Nmap can perform as well as explanations on what command line switches are required in order to run the associated scans.

Hot on the trail of the last Mind Map, I thought I would quickly add another.

This Mind Map is for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) examination. The CISSP is broken down into 10 domains which make up the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK).

I passed the CISSP using these Mind Maps which I created and have just edited and updated. I also know of a few other people who I have provided these Mind Maps to who have passed the CISSP on the first attempt.
