- Please assist with this lab: 2.16 LAB: Port Scan (Modules) In network security, it is important to understand port scanning. Hackers use tools to scan a network and determine if there are open ports and if they contain some sort of vulnerability. To scan ports, you first have to find active hosts on a network. Once you find active hosts and discover a list of IP addresses for those hosts, a port scan can be performed to gather information about open ports and analyze services running on those ports. A port scan is the process of sending packets to an active host's ports and learning details that can help you gain access to that host or to discover open vulnerabilities on your network. Some common ports are: Port 20 - File Transfer Protocol or FTP Port 22 - Secure Shell protocol or SSH Port 23 - Telnet protocol for unencrypted transfer Port 80 - HyperText Transfer Protocol or HTTP Port 443 - HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure or HTTPS The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through…arrow_forwardNetwork security is needed as servers on a flat network conduct most of the company's activity.

- implementing NAP using different types of enforcement points.NAP or Network Access Protection is a Windows Server security mechanism, which enables you to control how computers gain access to network resources. The main functionality of NAP is to verify and ensure that only healthy computers will be marked as compliant and will receive network access. As a Technology Specialist, you have been tasked with automatically bringing client computers into compliance by using Network Policy Server, creating client compliance policies and configuring a NAP server to check computers’ current health. There are four main enforcement types available with NAP as follows: IPsec, DHCP, VPN and 802.1X. Within a network you can configure one or multiple enforcement types and these technologies should be chosen according to the network’s infrastructure and requirements. In you project you need to discuss the enforcement technologies available with NAP and you are asked to implement at least 2 enforcement…arrow_forwardNETWORK SECURITY COURSE: Come up with a series of rules which seems to protect the network from all attacks. Be sure to watch the legitimate traffic denied and malicious traffic permitted. That should tell you how well your rules are working. How many rules did you have to write to secure your network?
