Find methods to measure the security level of a computer network setup and/or demonstrate ways that security can be breached:

Creating and/or using network sniffers

Testing the effectiveness of antivirus software to detect network worms (and the performance of this software)

Background

A security breach is any incident that results in unauthorized access of data, applications, services, networks and/or devices by bypassing their underlying security mechanisms. A security breach occurs when an individual or an application illegitimately enters a private, confidential or unauthorized logical IT perimeter.

A security breach is also known as a security violation.

Research

Research various methods security could be breached and write a report on it.

List the different methods you identified in your search. (Information must be included: Name, type of attack, how it works, and what did it affect).

Project Deliverables

Projects reports are expected to be 5 pages long. Don't stretch the report just to meet a particular page number, nor feel constrained if it needs to be longer to get your key points and results across.

A good report must answer the standard questions about any research project.

Prepare a class PowerPoint Presentation and DEMO. (50% of your grade is based on successful DEMO with documentation)
