Network security
Access your computer over internet in a secure way
Accessing you own data is getting more and more important.
Part of it is already accessible from "everywhere", when stored with your emails. But "the cloud" is not that advanced yet and so there are documents you only have on your computer.
Imagine you switch place for a couple of days, and still want to be able to look something up.
One possibility was to create a backup and store all documents you might need on an external drive - a tedious process, and will forget the <em>one important</em> document.
You could also open a port for Windows' Remote Desktop connection, but for security reasons this is not a choice.
There should be a secure way to access the data.
Taggings:
Test MAC authentifaction of a WiFi access point.
When a new WiFi access point is set up several security relevant configuration options have to be changed.
First password authentication through WPA/PSK is enabled.
Additionally MAC address authentication can be enabled to provide access only to certain machines which have thir MAC address entered in a list of known MAC addresses.
The goal is to test if this feature was correctly enabled.
Capturing network traffic with Python
<p>
It is necessary to capture the traffic on a specific network-interface between a server and a client. Most of the messages can be ignored, but some of them should be filtered and evaluated.<br /> This depends on the message-body.
</p>
<p>
Other requirements:
<li>The network-interface should be choosable from a list of all available devices.<li>The body should be readable by a human-beings. <li>only SYN-Packages, no ACKs<li>specific IP-Adresses
</p>
It should run on Linux.
