Julius Osagiede Assignment 01
For this assignment, you will require to install three software on your personal computer.
1. Latest version of Virtual box
2. Latest version of wireshark
3. Install Latest version (16) Ubuntu linux onto the Virtual box
For virtual box, connect your network using network options using Bridged Adapter, NAT and Host only Adapter and show whether your can connect to the internet with all of the network option. Take snapshot for each output.
For linux, go to any website and search for citytech. Take snapshot of the search output.
For wireshark do the following:
1. Click Capture, then Interfaces from the main menu. The Wireshark: Capture Interfaces window opens. It should list your NIC(s) and the IP addresses associated with each. For example,if you have a wireless network card and a Gigabit Ethernet card, both will appear.
2. Click the Options button that corresponds to the NIC for which you want to capture data. The Wireshark: Capture Options window opens.
3. Notice that the “Capture packets in promiscuous mode” option is checked by default. This means that anything passing through your NIC will be captured. In other words, no type of traffic will be filtered out.
4. For now, leave all the options at their defaults and click Start to begin capturing traffic.
5. Before you can examine the frames and datagrams on a network, you must first generate traffic. To generate traffic, open your Web browser and connect to a Web page, and then connect to a different Web page. Watch Wireshark’s capture window to see how many frames it has captured. Notice how many of these frames rely on TCP, UDP, or ARP in the Transport layer.
6. Next you’ll generate a different type of traffic. To open a Command Prompt window, click the Start button, select All Programs, select Accessories, and then select Command Prompt.
7. At the command prompt, type ping www.cengage.com and then press Enter. The ping command should generate replies from that Web site.
8. Now that you’ve generated different types of traffic, return to the Wireshark window, click Capture on the main menu and then click Stop.
9. The Wireshark window displays a list of all traffic captured on the top third of the screen and more detailed information about the selected frame in the middle and bottom thirds of the screen.
