Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System (TACACS)
Purpose: TACACS is a security protocol used to authenticate users attempting to access network devices or services, such as routers, switches, and firewalls.
Vulnerabilities: Weak encryption leading to data interception, Lack of secure password handling, Misconfigurations allowing for bypass of access controls.
Tools: While TACACS-specific tools are limited due to its proprietary nature, general-purpose network security assessment tools like Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit can be used to analyze and assess TACACS implementations.
