QUESTIONS

Instructions

Based on the given block data below, answer the following questions.

Hint: First do Google search for ‘packet dump decode’. Then cut and paste the block of data below into the input data section. Then press decode. You will be able to find the answer from the decoding result.

For the payload of the application layer, take the last few bytes in ASCII. It’s not in the packet dump, because it is not a part of header. You can use the ASCII character table to manually convert them. If you understanding the layer 4 destination port #, you understand what it is asking for. There is only one kind of information for the port #.

Data block to be decoded:

2. Research Paper:

 Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack against a computer or network that checks for exploitable vulnerabilities. Pen tests can involve attempting to breach application systems, APIs, servers, inputs, and code injection attacks to reveal vulnerabilities. In a well-written, highly-detailed research paper, discuss the following:

• What is penetration testing
• Testing Stages
• Testing Methods
• Testing, web applications and firewalls

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 4-6 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
