Personal Firewall Protection

Personal Firewall Protection
Author: Duane Arruti, Fall 2006
Revised: Joel Nunes, Alessandro Seazzu, June 2007

CNSS/NSTISSI Mapping: n/a

Abstract:
This lab is designed to give you a practical tool for measuring the effectiveness of firewall software in protecting a computer or computer network from infiltration. Please keep in mind that any hardware firewall protection that exists surrounding the Anderson virtual network, as well as the firewall protection attached to the user’s machine outside of the virtual network, offers an additional layer of protection in these exercises. As you complete the exercises, please use Addendum A, located on the last page of the lab, to record the "Score" for each of the tests.

Requirements:
The requirements include using VMWare with Microsoft Windows XP. The software and tools required for this tutorial(s) are open source, freeware, shareware, trial version or a combination thereof.

Windows 2003 Router Defenses (IPSec and Logs)

Windows 2003 Router Defenses (IPSec and Logs)
Author: Anna Nusbaum, Spring 2006
Revised: Joel Nunes and Alessandro Seazzu, June 2007

CNSS/NSTISSI Mapping: n/a

Abstract:
This lab is designed to primarily expose students to the weaknesses and utility of router system (internal) defenses and router firewall defenses against external attacks on clients "behind" the router in a Windows environment. Since initializing and configuring a router is a prerequisite for this lab, they will also receive hands on experience with elementary network and routing design principles. Finally, they will use open source tools to probe and defeat router defenses.

Requirements:
The requirements include using VMWare with Windows XP, Windows 2000, and a Microsoft Server 2003 configured as a router. The software and tools required for this tutorial(s) are open source, freeware, shareware, trial version or a combination thereof. As such, some tools or software might expire or will be outdated by the time this lab is executed. If the executables accompanying this lab do not work, please download the latest version from the website provided in this lab.
