Abstract

Unatoč dostupnosti naprednih zaštitnih mehanizama, sigurnosni incidenti unutar okruženja pojedinaca i organizacija u kontinuiranom su porastu. Danas najveća prijetnja u svijetu kibernetičke sigurnosti, socijalni inženjering, zasniva se na psihološkom iskorištavanju ljudi kao najslabije karike sustava. U diplomskom radu napadi temeljeni na metodama socijalnog inženjeringa analizirani su kroz detaljan opis obilježja, metoda napada i alata koji se koriste. U svrhu prikaza učinkovitosti takvih... More napada, primjenom programskih alata dostupnih u Kali Linux okruženju provedene su simulacije dva česta kibernetička napada, simulacija napada krađom identiteta te eksploatacija ciljnog računala stvaranjem backdoor pristupa. Temeljem rezultata provedenih simulacija predložene su smjernice zaštite od napada socijalnog inženjeringa, usmjerene na korisnika pojedinca te sigurnost i poslovanje poduzeća. Less

Abstract (english)

Despite the availability of advanced protection mechanisms, security incidents within the environment of individuals and organizations are on the rise. Nowadays, the biggest cybersecurity threat in the world, social engineering, is based on the psychological exploitation of people as the weakest link in the system. In this graduate thesis, attacks based on social engineering methods are analyzed through a detailed description of the characteristics, attack methods and used tools. In order... More to demonstrate the effectiveness of such attacks, using software tools available in the Kali Linux environment, simulations of two common cyber attacks were performed. These are phishing attack and exploitation of the targeted computer by creating a backdoor. Based on the results of the simulations, guidelines for protection against social engineering attacks aimed at the individual user and the security and operation of the company have been proposed.
