Information Security Test on Websites and Social Media Using Footprinting Method
Pages 521 - 525
Abstract
Information security is a crucial issue that needs to be guarded against attacks by hackers looking to exploit it. Due to the numerous instances of careless individuals hacking websites, information security needs to be a concern. This includes websites at Indonesian universities that offer information and services to the general public, students, and college alums. Websites for higher education institutions that are accessible to a large internet audience may be vulnerable to hacker assaults. It is vital to examine university websites in order to audit and evaluate their security systems in order to reduce this vulnerability. The Ethical Hacking research methodology, which focuses on footprinting techniques, was applied in this study. As a result of testing vulnerability scans with high to low levels of risk, the researchers found information pertaining to the study's target website (the website of an educational institution in one of Indonesia's cities) and several vulnerability alerts, so they advise increasing vulnerabilities to reduce security holes that hackers can exploit.
