o successfully complete the Computer Network Security Lab course, you should focus on learning the

following:

*1. Fundamentals of Computer Networks:*

- Understand the basics of networking including protocols, addressing, routing, and switching.

*2. Network Simulators:*

- Familiarize yourself with network simulation tools like Packet Tracer.

- Learn to configure routers for:

- Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

- Access Control Lists (Standard & Extended).

- Network Address Translation (Static, Dynamic, and Port Address Translation).

*3. Routing Protocols:*

- Configure routing protocols such as:

- Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP).

- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).

- Understand neighbor-ship requirements, metrics, and calculations for these protocols.

*4. Socket Programming in C/C++ on Linux:*

- Learn TCP and UDP client-server programming.

- Understand how to implement basic communication protocols using sockets.

*5. Server Administration:*

- Study server administration commands and their applications.

- Configure servers like FTP and Web servers.

*6. Network Security:*

- Learn about basic cryptographic techniques, including:

- RSA cryptosystem for encryption and digital signatures.

- Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm.


- Diffie-Hellman key exchange method.

- Understand authentication, access control, and intrusion detection methods.

- Use the Snort intrusion detection package to analyze network traffic and create signatures for
identifying problem traffic.

*Programming Languages and Tools:*

- Python: Understand socket programming and cryptographic libraries for implementing network
security protocols.

- C/C++: Required for socket programming on Linux.

- Network simulation tools like Packet Tracer.

- Server administration commands for configuring FTP and web servers.

By mastering these concepts and tools, you'll be able to design and implement secure computer
networks, understand various networking commands, apply basic cryptographic techniques, and
implement methods for authentication and intrusion detection.
