Information Security and Information Security Tools
Post 002 - CIS 608
Security management can be defined as understanding the risks associated with threats, vulnerabilities, and the probability and impact or things going wrong, and then using some method of dealing with those risks, in order to reduce the risks.
To understand risks on the public Internet, you must first understand some simple concepts, such as IP addresses and host names. For example, the IP address of my website is 206.126.230.92 and the hostname is BILLSLATER.com. Also, the current IP address that I am using to connect to the Internet is 67.36.180.41, and my current hostname is adsl-67-36-180-41.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net.
There is a tool that you can use to find out about the IP address and hostname information for websites on the public Internet. That tool is free and it is called Network-Tools. The website is located at http://www.network-tools.com. If you use the Express option and type in BILLSLATER.com, you get a report that looks like the listing shown below:
(Note that network-tools.com is located in the Dallas, TX area, so when you use this amazing website and its features, you are actually going through and from the perspective of a program that is installed on a server sitting in Dallas, TX.)

If you were a hacker and you were using this network-tools.com tool, this might be the first step that you would use to do reconnaissance leading up to some kind of attack, like a penetration attack or a malicious website defacing attack.
I am cautioning AGAINST attacking my website, so please do not let this blog write-up inspire anyone to commit evil deeds.
Best regards,
Bill
