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.

Assignment is due June 16th, will accept the 17th at the latest. Whoever accepts the assignment, I will send you example files. If you do not think you can finish the assignment, please give me what you have and I’ll finish the rest the best I can. 

Objectives:

To practice programming cooperating, synchronized multiple threads of execution.Description:In  this  programming  assignment  you  will  simulate  the  deposits  and withdrawals made to a fictitious bank account (I’ll let you use my real bank account ifyou promise to make only deposits! J).  In this case the deposits and withdrawals will be made by synchronized threads.  Synchronization is required for two reasons –(1) mutual exclusion (updates cannot be lost) and (2) because a withdrawal cannot occur if the amount of the withdrawal request is greater than the current balance in the  account.   This  means  that  access  to  the  account  (the shared object)  must  be synchronized.  This application requires cooperation and communication amongst the various threads (cooperatingsynchronizedthreads).  (In other words, this problem is similar to the producer/consumer problem where there is more than one producer and more  than  one  consumer  process  active  simultaneously.)   

If  a  withdrawal  thread attempts to withdraw an amount greater than the current balance in the account–then it must block itself and wait until a deposit has occurred before it can try again.  As we covered in the lecture notes, this will require that the depositorthreads signal all waiting withdrawal threads whenever a deposit is completed. 

There is much discussion regarding Data Analytics and Data Mining.  Sometimes these terms are used synonymously but there is a difference.  What is the difference between Data Analytics vs Data Mining? Please provide an example of how each is used.

Note: Should be in APA format
