TDDD17 Information Security, Second Course

Labs


There are two mandatory labs in the course.

The rules are as follows:

  • The hard hand-in deadline for labs is March 15 (at 23:59). No lab reports, additions, modifications or corrections will be accepted after this deadline. You should hand in your lab reports well before this deadline so that you have time to correct any minor problems there may be in the reports.
  • If you want to do the labs you must register in Webreg. The deadline for lab registration is January 23.
  • You must work in pairs.
  • Only the first two hours of each lab session is supervised (but the lab room is reserved for TDDD17 students for the remaining two hours for those who, for example, cannot work from home).

Lab1: Firewalls

In this lab you will set up a Linux-based system as a firewall, according to a network security policy provided to you. The implementation will be done using a virtual Linux network designed to mimic a fairly typical corporate network scenario.

Goals of this lab:

  • Get hands-on experience implementing a network security policy
  • Get hands-on experience testing a firewall

Prerequisites: This lab assumes that you know how to use a Unix-like operating system from the command line, and that you know the TCP/IP protocols.

Lab2: Snort

In this lab you will set up a network intrusion detection system (NIDS) for a small network. You will be working with the open-source NIDS Snort, and get practical experience on writing rules to detect attacks.

Goals of this lab:

  • Get hands-on experience with writing simple NIDS rules.

Prerequisites: Same as the firewall lab.
