 PUTTY


Introduction

PuTTY is a free SSH (and telnet) implementation for computers running Microsoft Windows (it also includes an xterm terminal emulator). PuTTY allows you to access your files and email stored on the engineering servers. If you wish to connect to a Unix or other multi-user system from a PC, PuTTY will be useful.


Background Information

PuTTY is a network file transfer programme, serial console, and terminal emulator that is free and open-source. SCP, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connections are just a few of the network protocols that it supports. It can join with a serial port as well. The meaning of the term "PuTTY" is ambiguous.

PuTTY has been ported to a number of different operating systems despite being originally developed for Microsoft Windows. Unofficial versions have been contributed to systems including Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Windows Phone. Official ports are available for certain Unix-like platforms, with work-in-progress ports to Classic Mac OS and macOS.

Analysis on Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability



Security Services

Details

Confidentiality

As of latest release of puTTY version, the Windows executables and installer contain built-in signatures that are automatically verified by Windows' own mechanism (‘Authenticode’). The keys used for that are different and unique.

 

Integrity

The data cannot be modified unless the user have the authentication and need to enter username and password of the IP Address owner to modify the data.

 

Availability

PuTTY is a complete suite of tools to assess WiFi network security because it need the IP Address of the device. All tools are command line which allows for heavy scripting. Therefore, this tool is available as long as the device have the command prompt.
