Fixing Network Security Vulnerabilities in Local Area Network

Abstract

The system proposed in this paper can be used to identify, fix and report network security vulnerabilities over the intranet. Nowadays, more importance is given for fixing security vulnerabilities to protect the network from attackers, which can be either extruders or intruders, who can misuse the open access in various ways. This system is developed essentially for Network Administrator Linux/Windows users. This tool is capable of scanning various vulnerabilities in a network such as open ports (both physical and logical) and can secure the physical open ports using a set of both Telnet and SSH commands. We have automated the Telnet-SSH connection using Python, which is used for physical open ports vulnerability in this tool. This can prove to be useful for a person who is not familiar with the required commands. The tool can also be used in office or college network scenarios to enhance security.
