1104 Teaching Tech: 3.3.7 Importance of Denying Hosts
For my
topic I choose to describe domain 3.3.7 which is Importance
of denying hosts. I choose this because I want to know why
denying host are beneficial. For some background information a host
is a hardware device that permits access to the network via an internet connection.
For instance, a computer could be considered a host from the IP address.
Only certain hosts, or users, will be allowed permissions when
the host pair matches an entry in the /etc/hosts.allow file. Just as access is granted there
are times when access is denied for the user or host when pair matches an entry
in the /etc/hosts.deny file.
Typically host on different levels such as websites, will be denied so that
people cannot access them while at locations, such as school or work. Another reason
certain accesses are denied by the host is because administrations wants to monitor
the traffic control. By monitoring access denied by the host, the network is
essentially safer from attacks of malware.
To be able
to edit this information in the Linux System you need to be a superuser and
have access to the terminal. While in the terminal you will need to use the following
command: $ sudo nano /etc/hosts . Also, you will need to match the host,
likely by the IP Address, and deny access where you do not see fit for
particular users.
