Network Security and
Dark web
Introduction
Welcome to the future of virtualization,
cloud computing, and network security.
Join us as we explore the potential of these
technologies in shaping the modern
business landscape.
Virtualization Overview
Hypervisor Type 1, also known as a “bare-metal hypervisor,”
runs directly on the host’s hardware to control the
hardware and to manage guest operating systems.
Examples of Type 1 hypervisors include VMware ESXi,
Microsoft Hyper-V, and Xen.

Hypervisor Type 2, also known as a “hosted hypervisor,”

runs on a conventional operating system just like other
computer programs and provides virtualization services.
Examples of Type 2 hypervisors include VMware
Workstation, Oracle VirtualBox, and Parallels Desktop.

Some popular tools in the hypervisor space include VMware

vSphere for managing virtualized environments, Microsoft
Hyper-V for Windows-based virtualization, KVM for Linux-
based virtualization, and Citrix XenServer for virtualization
and cloud management.

These tools are used to create, manage, and monitor

virtualized environments, allowing organizations to
efficiently utilize their hardware resources and manage
multiple virtual machines.
1. ESXi: Developed by VMware, it’s a proprietary type-1 hypervisor.
It’s known for its robustness and enterprise features, making it
popular for virtualizing servers.

2. KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine): An open-source type-1

hypervisor that is integrated into the Linux kernel. It’s widely used in
the open-source community and is known for its performance and
scalability.

3. Proxmox: Proxmox Virtual Environment is a distribution based on

Debian, integrating KVM and LXC (Linux Containers). It also
includes management tools and a web-based interface for easy
administration.

4. QEMU (Quick Emulator): It’s an open-source emulator that can

perform hardware virtualization. It can be used on its own but is
often utilized as the backend for other virtualization platforms, like
KVM.

5. OpenStack: It’s an open-source cloud computing platform that

manages pools of compute, storage, and networking resources,
often through the use of hypervisors like KVM. It’s designed to
provide a scalable, flexible, and open infrastructure as a service
(IaaS) solution.

Open source refers to software or other projects whose source code is made available for anyone to use, modify, and
distribute under licenses that allow for this kind of access. The mindset behind open source is rooted in principles of
transparency, collaboration, and community.
By allowing access to the source code, open source projects encourage collaboration and input from a wide range of
developers, which often leads to more robust, secure, and innovative software. This open and collaborative approach
fosters a sense of community and shared ownership among participants, leading to the development of high-quality,
often free or low-cost solutions that can benefit individuals, businesses, and organizations around the world.
The concept of open source software has roots in the 1950s and 1960s with the development of early computer
systems and programming languages. However, the modern open source movement really began to take shape in the
late 1990s. One of the key milestones in the history of open source was the release of the Netscape web browser
source code in 1998. This move, motivated by Netscape's desire to harness the power of collaborative development,
led to the creation of the Mozilla project and the Firefox web browser. Another significant event was the publication
of the "Open Source Definition" by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) in 1998, which provided a clear set of criteria for
what qualifies as open source software. This definition helped to formalize the concept and establish guidelines for
licensing. The inspiration behind the open source movement lies in the collaborative and community-driven nature
of software development. By making source code freely available, developers can examine, modify, and distribute the
software, fostering innovation and improvements from a diverse range of contributors. Prominent figures in the
open source movement include Eric S. Raymond, who wrote the influential essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," and
Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, which has become one of the most widely used open source projects
in the world.
Network Security Imperatives

Securing the digital ecosystem with

robust firewalls, encryption, and
proactive threat detection.
Addressing the evolving challenges of
cyber threats and data protection.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) are cryptographic protocols that provide secure
communication over a computer network, like the internet. SSL was the original protocol developed by Netscape in the mid-
1990s to secure online transactions. TLS is the successor of SSL and has been standardized by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF). TLS provides improvements and security updates over SSL. The primary difference between the two is that TLS
has more robust security features and is considered more secure than SSL. In practical usage, the terms SSL and TLS are
often used interchangeably, but it's important to note that TLS should be preferred over SSL due to its improved security.
Both SSL and TLS are commonly used in web browsers to secure communication between a user and a web server, ensuring
that data transmitted over the network is encrypted and remains confidential. TLS and SSL are also utilized in other
communication protocols such as email (SMTP, IMAP, POP3), FTP, and VoIP, as well as in VPN (Virtual Private Network)
implementations to create secure connections.
The dark web is a part of the internet that isn't
indexed by traditional search engines and requires
specific software, configurations, or authorization
to access. It forms a small part of the deep web,
which is not indexed by search engines. The dark
web is often associated with illicit activities due to
its anonymity and lack of oversight. The dark web
became widely known through its association with
illegal marketplaces, where users could buy and
sell drugs, weapons, stolen data, and more. It has
also been linked to activities such as hacking,
illegal pornography, and other criminal
enterprises. The dark web operates using overlay
networks that use the public internet but require
specific software, configurations, or authorization
to access. The most common way to access the
dark web is through the Tor network, which allows
users to access .onion domains. These domains
are only accessible through the Tor network and
are used to host websites that are often associated
with the dark web. The anonymity provided by the
dark web and the Tor network has made it a haven
for illegal activities, but it's important to note that
not everything on the dark web is illicit. There are
also legitimate uses, such as providing a platform
for whistleblowers, activists, and journalists to
communicate securely

1. Phishing: Attempts to trick individuals into providing
sensitive information by posing as a trustworthy entity, often via
email or fraudulent websites.

2.  Denial of Service (DoS) Attack: Flooding a network or

server with traffic to make it unavailable to its intended users.

3. i Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attack: Intercepts

communication between two parties, allowing the attacker to
eavesdrop or manipulate the data being exchanged.

4.° SQL Injection: Exploits vulnerabilities in a web application

to unauthorized access to sensitive information.

10. Zero-Day Exploit: Targeting software vulnerabilities that

are unknown to the software developer or vendor, as there is
“zero days” of awareness about the flaw.

11 Worm:
