Access Control Firewall Assessment

In this assignment, students will perform a security assessment on a firewall.

Using the networked VMs from the Access Control Environment Installation assignment, perform a port scan of the PFSense firewall system using the Kali VM. Create a screenshot showing the results.

Using the scan results, choose five open/closed ports and determine the applicable protocol/application.

For each port, research and explain why it is good (or bad) that the default configuration is standardized.

Research and implement the basics of PFSense post-installation configuration.

1. Update to the latest stable version.
2. Set HTTPS to port 8443.
3. Include the traffic graph on the dashboard.
4. Disable port traffic for World of Warcraft.
5. Disable port traffic for torrent applications.
6. Disable inbound ICMP protocol.
7. Choose a social media website and disable all domains for that website.
8. Choose a video streaming website and enable all domains for that website.

Using the Kali VM, run another port scan. Note the differences against the original scan.

As a follow-up, research and explain the common vulnerabilities associated with the standard installation of this PFSense firewall.

Create a 700- to 1,200-word step-by-step instruction guide for the post-installation configuration. Make sure to include all required explanations and at least eight screenshots.

It is expected that your report will be in the region of 1500 words.

You are expected to conduct an analysis of this network packet capture— (will provide) using Wireshark. You are required to present your findings in a factual manner, to convince decision makers of a large corporation on business strategies.

Software engineering tools for soft computing: MATLAB, R Tool and DTREG.  Comparison should focus on how they are able to model neural networks.  Also, pick criteria that compares things they all have in common. 

PS: The outline should look like the sample attached

 We want you to read at least one article or view a video about hardware (not software). Then write a brief summary (or create a short presentation) summarizing the article using MS Word or PowerPoint. Brief means no less than 10 sentences but not more than one page. Make sure to cite your source properly.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Part 1

Top management of a large company has told you that they would like to be able to determine what the impact of years of service at their company has on workers’ productivity levels, and they would like to be able to predict potential productivity based upon years of service. The company has data on all of its employees and has been using a valid productivity measure that assesses each employee’s productivity.

What is a possible way to answer management’s question, and how does the analysis work? Reference the section on bi-variate linear regression from Green & Salkind.

Part 2

After reviewing the results of the analysis in Part I, the company found they are significantly related. However, a statistician reviewed the output and said that the results really do not explain much of what is happening in the total relationship.

What information is the statistician referring to from your output, and why is it important? Reference the section on bi-variate linear regression from Green & Salkind.
