Goal: To make students understand the environment and appreciate the field of network security.
Duration: 1 Week
Deliverables: 5 double spaced page
Nature: Exploratory
Study the computer and network vulnerabilities and exploits (See Kizza Chapters 3 and 4). Write a comparative discussion paper of 10 such exploits and/or vulnerabilities.
Pay attention to the following:
- Routing algorithm vulnerabilities: route and sequence number spoofing, instability and resonance effects
- TCP/UDP vulnerabilities
- ICMP redirect hazard: denial of service
- ARP hazard: phantom sources, ARP explosions and slow links
- Fragmentation vulnerabilities and remedies: (ICMP Echo overrun)
