Abstract

Providing network security with an open source has been a huge concern today. Data transmitted over the network shall not be assumed to be stable. There are numerous attacks such as phishing, spoofing, and sniffing. This paper provides a summary of the tools available to fight against these network attacks and threats. There are several resources in the open source that are built to use to handle these threats. Resources including OpenSSH, OpenSSL, NMap, digital certificate, and IP tables were discussed in this article.
