Assignment Description (50 marks)
Assignment 1 is a formative assessment and students must submit the assignment by the end
of week 3. Constructive feedback will be provided. Each student should apply learning from
these feedback in Assignment 2.
You are a Network Analyst at iSecurity Solutions Ltd, located in Sydney, Australia. Your new
client is trying to implement a network security application which requires Wireshark for
network traffic monitoring. As a Network Analyst you will study the suitability of Wireshark
as a network protocol analyzer. Finally, you will prepare a report that should include topics
outlined in the following.
Assignment 1: Network Analysis using Wireshark
Identify potential vulnerabilities on the following topic:
• Your first task is to analyse a Wireshark packet capture. To do this you will access
http://info.cern.ch/ through your browser. The following instructions should be
followed:
o Close any open links/pages that are being displayed by your browser.
o Clear your browser cache.
o Access http://info.cern.ch/.
o Capture and isolate the packet regarding http://info.cern.ch/. Take a screen
shot and analyse different HTTP packets.
o Next you will use Wireshark filter to isolate specific HTTP packet. Firstly, you
will isolate HTTP ‘GET’ request. Take a screen shot and analyse the HTTP ‘GET’
packet clearly. Secondly, you will use another filter to isolate the HTTP ‘POST’
request. Take a screen shot and analyse the HTTP ‘POST’ packet clearly.
o Now that you now about GET and POST request, do online research to answer
the following question.
▪ Which HTTP request do you need to analyse for finding SQL injection
attack?
▪ Briefly discuss about SQL injection attack.
▪ What role can Wireshark play in Network Security Monitoring (NSM) as
a network protocol analyser?
o Ace my homework – Write a summary by discussing the structural differences between the two
requests.
Additional instructions:
• Do not use Wikipedia either as a source or as a reference.
• Read articles from the books or the ones published in journals and conferences, or
internet articles for each topic and then rewrite those using your own words.
• Use IEEE style referencing, and make sure to properly reference any diagrams/
graphics.
