You want to perform a DoS attack against some host with a known IP address. You have become aware that a mis- configured sub- network, corresponding to the range w.x.y.z/24, allows for external access to its broadcast address, i.e., traffic sent to w.x. y.255 reaches all hosts simultaneously on that sub - network. Note that neither you nor your target are on this sub - network. Describe as clearly as possible how you can take advantage of the sub- network to perform a denial- of service attack on the target.

In IEEE 802.11, two-way communication is used to authenticate an open system. In order to authenticate the client, the server must give the station ID (typically the MAC address). Response to the client's previous request is either a successful or failed authentication response from the access point/router. An error may arise if, for example, an AP/router configuration does not include the client's MAC address.In what ways is it advantageous to use this kind of authentication scheme?In what ways does this authentication technique have security vulnerabilities that might be mitigated?
The scenario includes one DHCP server in an Active Directory domain. The server is configured to provide IP addresses to DHCP clients on two different subnets. The subnets are separated by a router that has DHCP Forwarding enabled. In this scenario, you use ten of the excluded IP addresses to configure servers and other devices with static IP addresses and five additional IP addresses are left available for static configuration of new devices that you might want to add in the future. Write up the Powershell script for the following according to scenario IP configuration: Installing DHCP role (DHCP1) Creating DHCP security group (your Arid Number) in DHCP1 Note: Security Group should create with your arid number.

Let's pretend Host C is running a Web server on port 80. Suppose this Web server allows both Hosts A and B to make persistent connections. Is it possible that Host C is sending several requests over the same socket? Does port 80 exist in each of these connections if they are being sent through separate sockets? You should discuss and elaborate on this.
HostA has established a TCP connection with HostB in a remote network. HostA is sending segments to HostB. Assume we have configured TCP, somehow, to ACK every segment (no ACKing every other segment). Assume that the timeout is the same for all packets. HostB's “window size" is 20000 bytes. HostB has already received and acknowledged everything sent by HostA's application up to and including byte #3,091. HostA now sends segments of the same application data stream in order: P: 489 bytes Q: 217 bytes R: 222 bytes What is the sequence number on segment R?

In this question, you will help Mallory develop new ways to conduct denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. (1) CHARGEN and ECHO are services provided by some UNIX servers. For every UDP packet arriving at port 19, CHARGEN sends back a packet with 0 to 512 random characters. For every UDP packet arriving at port 7, ECHO sends back a packet with the same content. Mallory wants to perform a DoS attack on two servers. One with IP address M supports CHARGEN, and another with IP address N supports ECHO. Mallory can spoof IP addresses. Is it possible to create a single UDP packet with no content which will cause both servers to consume a large amount of bandwidth? If yes, describe the header (i.e., source IP, destination IP, source port, and destination port) of your UDP package; otherwise, explain why? Assume now that CHARGEN and ECHO are now modified to only respond to TCP packets (post-handshake) and not UDP. Is it possible to create a single TCP SYN packet with no content which will cause…
Let's say Host C is a Web server that listens on port 80. Assume that this web server allows persistent connections and that it accepts requests from hosts A and B. Is Host C using the same socket to transmit each request? If they're broadcast over different sockets, do they both have port 80? You should talk about it and provide an explanation.
When running a scan on your computer, you find that a session has been established with a host at the address 208.85.40.44:443. Which protocol is in use for this session?
Your task is to extend TCP server file and allow multiple client connections (and chats). At present, the ports are hardcoded in the programs. For ease, you can make port input as part of the command line arguments for the clients so that you can avoid hard coding port numbers for each newly created client. At the minimum, two clients should be able to connect with the server (you can test more than 2 for robustness). Please upload your TCP server and client .cpp (or .c) files and write your answers with screenshots in your report. Your report can indicate a brief description of what parts were extended in the code to allow multiple clients and what is your output (with the help of screenshots). For multiple client examples, please refer to the bulb activity that was uploaded in the Week 8 folder.
When you do a scan on your system, you discover that there is a session with a host that is connected to the address 208.85.40.44:443. Could you please tell me the protocol that is being used for this session?
Assume that a Web server is running on port 80 on Host C. Assume this Web server supports persistent connections and is presently accepting requests from Hosts A and B. Is Host C sending all of the requests over the same socket? Do both sockets have port 80 if they're being sent via separate sockets? Talk about it and explain it.
Suppose a Web server is running on port 80 in Host C. Assume that this web hosts, A and B. Are all requests sent through the same Host C socket? If server uses permanent links and that requests are sent from two eparate sockets are passed through, all sockets have port 807. Discuss and justify
