Abstract

Network intruders are becoming more sophisticated in their approach, resulting in many difficulties in preventing them. They exploit both well-configured systems and vulnerable systems.

Aims: To examines the performance of a campus network against attacks on the network systems.

Place and Duration of Study: University of Education, Winneba- Kumasi campus.

Methodology: Penetration testing was adopted to investigate the vulnerabilities that may occur in a university network.

This helps to test for vulnerabilities on the network system that may expose the system to exploits.

Results: The test revealed that system-based attacks might be propelled by malignant pariahs on the Internet and noxious insiders straightforwardly associated with inward systems. The perpetrators can exploit vulnerabilities in network foundations and frameworks, for example, servers (web servers, software servers, file and mail servers, etc.), routers, and firewalls.

Conclusion: This work presents a way to deal with evaluating the security stance of a college utilizing penetration testing that meddles negligibly with the flow of traffic and activities on the network infrastructure. attack Insurance against network-based attacks is mind-boggling and, in the offer, to relieving one framework normally gives a stage that can be utilized to dispatch more attacks.
