The Nonconventional Network Security Measures for Intrusion Detection

Abstract

Cyber-attacks such as Malware, data breaches, denial of service, phishing are proliferating. Network analytic tools such as wire
shark and nmap which provide an intelligent about all the bits/frames/packets/data traversing network information are essential
for Cyber Security. This paper studies the advantages the packet sniffing as well as the security scanner and the command prompt
for the analysis of a network for security purposes. We demonstrate methods that can be taken to detect possible unwanted or
foreign devices within the network, despite sniffing software’s not truly being designed for security measures.
