Network Visualization and Vulnerability Detection

The growth of the Internet has led to information networks being connected around the globe. The ability to access any system or data set from anywhere on earth or even in space has led to an increasingly connected world. It has also let to systems and networks being much more vulnerable to bad actors looking to exploit those connections. As a security professional, it is important that I understand how vulnerabilities are uncovered and exploited to be able to protect the organizations I work for. The following paper describes a full vulnerability scan, an evaluation of identified weaknesses, and steps taken to uncover all of this information.
