Part I:
We survey in class a wide range of computer and network attack (see handout
#1). In this assignment, you are asked to do research to identify at least two novel
system or infrastructure attacks that were not discussed in class. The
identified attacks should not a variation of one of the attacks but it could
have a similar affect like DDOS or others. Examples of suggested attacks to be
searched includes attacks on security devices, VoIP, Quality of services,
skype, overlay, P2P, new protocols (SIP, IGMP), wireless, sensor networks,
mobile networks, cellular, palm/handheld devices, Grid, and multimedia services
..etc. For each of the identified attacks, you must
show the following: clear description of the attack (including figures if
necessary), the impact of the attack, detection mechanism(s) for this attack
(proposed by you or others) and your references. Cite your references clearly
(max 2 pages).
The grading will be based on the novelty of the attack and the quality of
your description.
Part II:
In this lab exercise, you will use the some vulnerability analysis tool to
accomplish the specified tasks below:
A- Use Nmap to do IP scanning using
B- Use NeWT or Nessus
and show examples of vulnerability you discovered on a real network
All submissions are through DLWEB.
Submission Guidelines:
Submit your assignment as a Word document into DLWEB. Late submission will
have 10% deduction per day.
