I-When you visit a website for the first time, what happens in terms of DNS query web cache etc. in your browser?
When you first access a website in your browser, several steps occur in terms of DNS, web requests, and caching:
1. **DNS (Domain Name System) resolution:**
- Your browser sends a DNS query to the DNS server configured in your network settings to resolve the domain name (for example, www.example.com) to an IP address.
- If the DNS resolution is already cached (i.e. you visited the site recently), the browser uses this information. Otherwise, it sends a query to the DNS server.
2. **HTTP request:**
- Once the IP address of the website server has been obtained, your browser sends an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) request to this server to retrieve the content of the site.
- HTTP request contains information such as request type (GET, POST, etc.) and HTTP headers.
3. **Server response:**
- The server receives the request and generates a corresponding HTTP response.
- The response may contain various information, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, etc., necessary to display the site.
4. **Response processing:**
- Your browser begins processing the response received from the server, interpreting the HTML content and executing the included JavaScript code.
- It retrieves and loads external resources, such as images, CSS files and scripts, by following links and references in the HTML code.
5. **Caching:**
- Web page elements (images, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) can be cached locally on your computer to speed up future visits to the same site. This allows the browser to retrieve these resources from the cache instead of downloading them again from the server.
6. **Site display:**
- Your browser assembles all the retrieved resources and displays them to the user according to the instructions of the HTML, CSS and JavaScript code.
- The website is now visible in your browser.
II-During subsequent visits to the same site, certain steps can be skipped thanks to caching, which speeds up the page loading process.
III-Have you ever heard of topten OS?
To my knowledge, "Topten OS" is not a widely recognized or documented operating system until my last data update in September 2021. It is possible that this is a project, d 'a business or concept that was developed or discussed after my last update.
If "Topten OS" is a recent creation or concept, I will not have specific information about it. If you have any questions about a particular operating system or any other topic, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to provide you with information based on my prior training.
IV-Imagine as a Pentester you have to infiltrate a company for a Red team mission, there is no 8021X or radius authentication, you log into a meeting room, what do you start by doing?
It is important to note that hacking or unauthorized access to computer systems or networks is illegal and ethically unacceptable, except in the context of authorized and ethically acceptable activities, such as legal penetration testing carried out by professionals . cybersecurity under formal agreements with the organization concerned.
V-In the context of an authorized penetration testing (Red Team) mission, here are some general steps that a cybersecurity professional could follow after physically accessing a meeting room?
1. **Network recognition:**
- Using tools to identify active systems, running services, hostnames, software versions, etc.
2. **Vulnerability Analysis:**
- Search for known vulnerabilities in identified systems in order to exploit potential weaknesses.
3. **Operation:**
- If vulnerabilities are discovered, exploitation to gain privileged or harmful access to systems.
4. **Lateral movement:**
- Move inside the network by identifying and exploiting other systems to expand access and gain higher privileges.
5. **Privilege escalation:**
- Look for ways to escalate privileges to gain even higher and fuller access to the network.
6. **Data exfiltration:**
- Identify and extract sensitive data or critical information from the company network.
