BIT206: Network Design Assignment 1 (20%) Total: 20 Marks Due Date: Week 8 Assignment Overview For this assignment you will observe network performance, restrictions with a production firewall. In a virtual environment with at least 3 virtual machines including a virtual firewall. Implement and demonstrate five (5) firewall rules. Marks will be awarded based on the sophistication and the difficulties the demonstration explored. Your task is to complete and make a 6-8 min video presentation on the following: 1. Download and install a Hypervisor with Virtual Machines and legally available virtual firewall (e.g. untangle). 2. Demonstrate (narration of your actions recorded by video) five (5) tasks the software can perform. (15 Marks) 3. Summarize your findings. (5 Marks) 4. Present the results in a video presentation. (15 + 5 = 20) You may use any of the legally available software. Additional marks may be gain by using advance techniques not taught in the laboratories. The following are suggested: • Untangle (www.untangle.com) • PFsense (www.PFsense.org) • Any Linux Distribution (distrowatch.com) • Sophus Free Firewall – UTM Essential Firewall. The following resources may be of use: • Textbooks • Youtube Videos: CBT Nuggets, HakTip, SeurityTube Plagiarism All used sources must be properly acknowledged with references and citations, if you did not create it. Quotations and paraphrasing are allowed but the sources must be acknowledged. Failure to do so is regarded as plagiarism and the minimum penalty for plagiarism is failure for the assignment. The act of given your assignment to another student is classified as a plagiarism offence. Copying large chucks and supplying a reference will result in zero marks as you have not contributed to the report. Copying from Youtube or other videos is also plagiarism (including transcripts). Citation in a video can be included as credits at the end.   Due Date & Submission The video is due at Week 8. See MOODLE for exact times. By the due date, you must submit: 1. Name your file with your student number and name. 2. Upload Video on Youtube (or Dropbox) 3. Video Link to MOODLE. 4. Fail to submit the video will result in a fail. To upload on Youtube, you must create your account on youtube. If you have a google account (gmail), you already have one on youtube. Videos must be of one of the following formats: .MOV, .MPEG4, MP4, .AVI, .WMV, .MPEGPS, .FLV, .3GPP, and .WebM. Once you have an account, to upload your video, click on the 'upload' button located at the top right-hand corner of your youtube.com webpage. To keep your uploaded video unsearchable by people so that random people cannot view your video(s), you have to select the privacy mode from the drop-down menu on the upload screen to be ‘Unlisted’. This way, your video is viewable by only those who have got the URL of your video. Make sure you copy+paste your video URL in MOODLE for your marker to be able to watch and mark it! Late submission of assignments will be penalised as follows: • For assignments 1 to 5 days late, a penalty of 10% (of total available marks) per day. • For assignments more than 5 days late, a penalty of 100% will apply. Your submission must be compatible with the software (PDF/Word/Video) in Melbourne Polytechnic, Computer Laboratories/Classrooms. Extensions: Under normal circumstances extensions will not be granted. In case of extenuating circumstances—such as illness—a Special Consideration form, accompanied by supporting documentation, must be received before 3 working days from the due date. If granted, an extension will be only granted only by the time period stated on the documentation; that is, if the illness medical certificate was for one day, an extension will be granted for one day only. Accordingly the student must submit within that time limit. Penalties may apply for late submission without an approved extension. Penalties: Academic misconduct such as cheating and plagiarism incur penalties ranging from a zero result to program exclusion.   Marking criteria: Marks are allocated as indicated on each question, taking the following aspects into account: Aspects Description Analysis (if appropriate) Investigation, comparison, discussion Explanation/justification Description/answer to the question Presentation Inadequate structure, careless presentation, poor writing Reference style Proper referencing if required Plagiarism Copy from another student, copy from internet source/textbook, copy from other sources without proper acknowledgement Marking Rubric for Exercise Answers Grade Mark HD 80%+ D 70%-79% CR 60%-69% P 50%-59% Fail < 50% Excellent Very Good Good Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Analysis Logic is clear and easy to follow with strong arguments Consistency logical and convincing Mostly consistent and convincing Adequate cohesion and conviction Argument is confused and disjointed Effort/Difficulties/ Challenges The presented solution demonstrated an extreme degree of difficulty that would require an expert to implement.

On the LAN machines Make sure the gateway is set to the PFSENSE/Untangle IP address. When downloading other Virtual Machines, please use their Virtual Machine version (comes pre-configured with compatible settings such as screen configuration). Setting up and IP Address e.g. XP -> Network Connections -> set IP address, subnet, gateway e.g. Ubtuntu Termainal For dynamic (PFSense is doing DHCP) >ifconfig eth0 dhcp >dhclient >route add default gw 192.168.1.1 For static >ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 >route add default gw 192.168.1.1 *Virtual Box Ubtuntu/XP->Settings->Network-> Internal Network *Virtual Box PFSense -> Setting-Network->Adapter 1-> NAT OR BRIDGE *Virtual Box PFSense -> Setting-Network->Adapter 2-> Internal Network Recommend Untangle over PFSense.

As the connection will still be active. Log into PFSense Web Interface Firewall->Rules Floating Add new rules (+ icon) Action: Pass Interface: highlight WAN and LAN. Protocol: ICMP Save Apply Changes Close the web browser (e.g. close firefox) Open the command prompt Ping www.google.com Ping should respond. Open PFSense Web Interface (E.g. 192.168.1.1) Firewall->Rules Floating Add new rules (+ icon) Action: Block Interface: highlight WAN and LAN. Protocol: ICMP Save Apply Changes Close the web browser (e.g. close firefox) Open the command prompt Ping www.google.com Ping should NOT respond (time out error). Your LAN Virtual Machines are not accessing the ICMP protocols through the firewall. Useful link: http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/setting-pentest-lab-pfsense-virtualbox/
