Herramienta para la Detección de Vulnerabilidades basada en la Identificación de Servicios

Abstract

The main objective of this work was the design of a new approach for discovering and assessing vulnerabilities in network services through banner grabbing. This approach consists of identifying the services that are active in a network system to then find security vulnerabilities of such systems in the National Vulnerability Database. A tool called UdeCEscaner was implemented and some laboratories were selected for testing. The results show that this approach can effectively detect vulnerabilities in network services. It is concluded that the proposed approach helps managers of information and communication technology administrators to better understand the risks to which they are exposed to facilitate mitigation actions of security vulnerabilities.
