Hi, I would like to know what steps/commands/procedure should be executed if the network is breached. How to mitigate such situations.

Hi.

Hope it helps, have fun!

Not the answer you want to hear but it kind of depends. The first important distinction to make is if this applies to any governmental, institutional or commercial or "just" home or SOHO property. The reason is that if you're part of the first group then there [c|sh]ould be procedures and incident handling personnel in place already. In case of the latter you could look at what your governments National Security or Cybercrime unit, Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT/CSIRT) or related institutions may offer (like http://resources.sei.cmu.edu/library...m?assetid=6305 or more practical: http://www.k-state.edu/its/security/...cidentmgt.html). Other resources include for example the SANS Reading Room (for example http://www.sans.org/reading-room/whi...izations-32979) and NIST (like http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Spe...P.800-61r2.pdf).

In short: a little bit more detail could help.

It Applies to educational institute, and there is no incident handling policy in place. How do I create one such policy. I will explore those links and will reply later.

regards,

Thats good to know, because such institutions may be subject to state or nation-wide compliance rules.


Again that depends. See if there are state or nation-wide resources basically dictating what minimum IT, and therefore security, regulations should be adhered to. Often these resources will offer documentation, maybe even provide templates, or point to such libraries. If that's all not the case please give us a wee bit more information like size of the institution IT department and what type of education this is about (as in a University kind of differs from a Kindergarten which differs from a town hall room where people get them mad crocheting classes every forthnight ;-p).


That's OK, nobody ever tries to reply earlier ;-p

*Note the above is all OK if you for example would be an employee at some budding Institute of Technology. However if you are a student doing research for an assignment then now would be a good time to either 'fess up or spill way, way, way more details as we shouldn't spoonfeed you.

not a student

We're all students. Tickles me how on average people whanting "authority" (like a cr\h\ack) often are less deserving...

I don't remember if I ever offended anyone in this community. Student in the manner asked by unSpawn.
