The initial phase, “Übung 10: Einrichten eines WLAN-Netzwerks,” guides students through provisioning a WLAN. This involves configuring an Access Point (AP), planning channel usage, setting up Network Address Translation (NAT) and a DHCP service, and ensuring full connectivity between wireless and wired clients. Students configure a router with NAT, establish a DHCP server, and set up the AP with WPA2 security, assessing password strength and measuring channel utilization. Connectivity tests confirm communication within the network and to the internet. Access Point Isolation is also explored, with a bonus task involving its configuration and demonstration of its effects. ...

Capturing Network traffic

Note: this was converted using from LaTeX to Markdown using Chat GPT 4.1 the original pdf can be found here along with the bibliography Laboratory protocol Exercise 10: Capturing of network traffic in the local network Figure: Grouplogo Subject: ITSI Class: 3AHITN Name: Stefan Fürst, Justin Tremurici Group Name/Number: Name here/12 Supervisor: SPAC, ZIVK Exercise dates: 11.04.2025 | 25.04.2025 | 09.05.2025 Submission date: 16.05.2025 Table of Contents Task definition Summary Complete network topology of the exercise Exercise Execution Building the Topologies Mirroring traffic in RouterOS v7 Comparing the traffic before and after the configuration Packet Sniffing on the Local Device Capturing a Ping Between Two Targets Capturing Plain Text Passwords Capturing a VoIP Call References Task definition This task focused on the passive interception of network traffic in a local network using either a hub or a managed switch with mirror ports. The objective was to analyze unaltered communications using Wireshark on both attacker and victim machines. Two topologies were tested: a hub-based setup, which allowed full traffic visibility, and a switch-based setup, where traffic was mirrored from victim ports to the attacker’s port. Devices were assigned static IP addresses from a private range, and VoIP communication was simulated using either software-based or physical IP phones. ...
