Micro Project Fundamentals of Network Security
Micro Project Fundamentals of Network Security
of Network Security
Objective
To understand and implement basic network security measures that help protect data and
devices from unauthorized access and cyber threats.
Tools/Software Required
- Wireshark (for network traffic analysis)
- Antivirus/Firewall Software
- VirtualBox or any virtual lab environment
- Operating system with basic network tools (e.g., Kali Linux, Windows)
Project Scope
To simulate and analyze common network threats and apply basic security mechanisms like
firewalls, encryption, and secure communication protocols.
Project Tasks
1. Identify common network threats such as packet sniffing, spoofing, and DoS attacks.
3. Implement a basic firewall setup using Windows Defender or UFW (on Linux).
Expected Outcome
Students will gain hands-on experience in identifying and mitigating network threats using
basic security tools and configurations.
Conclusion
This project provides foundational knowledge in network security, emphasizing practical
skills to detect and prevent basic cyber attacks.
