Week 6 Lab Projects

Q Week 6 Lab Report You are expected to do the labs assigned this week and to post your observations using this Word document in Blackboard. • Indicate what you did to achieve the desired goal, problems encountered, problem resolution, and lessons learned. • Include references that facilitated your understanding and problem solving. This Week’s Assignment has two parts (at least 750 words for the whole report – that includes Part One and Two) Part One: Use the attached the Week 6 Lab Projects document to guide you with this week’s lab. Submit this document in Blackboard showing the work you did to complete the assignment. As you conduct the lab exercises, provide clear screenshots with comments describing what each screenshot displays. After completing the labs, please describe any problems that you encountered, how you resolved these problems, and what you learned from the labs. Be sure to include references that facilitated your understanding and problem solving. Part Two: Research the following bulleted items below, using the relevant reading resources for this week and supplementary ones you may come up with: • What are various measures that can be employed to prevent hackers from taking over computer networks? In what ways would those measures, for instance, prevent hackers from defacing a website or stealing confidential information? • What industry standards exist to specify best practices for configuring firewalls (hint: PCI)? How do those standards stack up to the reality of properly configuring firewalls to protect networks from intruders? Do those standards really help administrators better secure their networks? Explain.

I found the instructions to be skipping steps which meant that the lab took a little bit longer than I probably should’ve. After setting up the VPN the Windows 10 machine was not able to connect. I disabled the domain zone of the firewall on the windows server and was able to connect immediately. As a fix I enabled the VPN access in the firewall. Once I set up the HTTPs access on the windows IIS server, I was getting the Untrusted SSL certificate message. I repeated the steps several times and had no luck resolving the problem.
