Goals for First Quarter
- Set up a small network
- Install Server OS.
- Set up Mail Server.
- Make Network work, computers working together and commutating.
- Set up firewall.
- Experiment with Network Security.
- Research packet sniffing.
- Install talk, or some other commutation means.
- Find and install a program to sniff packets.
- Successfully intercept a packet.
- Try to reverse a password hash.
- Try to 'hack' into the firewall.
First Quarter Goal Completion
- Setting up our Network
- I installed the server version of Ubuntu on my computer then got an xubuntu GUI to make it easier.
- While my computer has the capiblity of being a mail server, it hasn't been set up yet.
- We have Set up a Small network with three computers. Two running Xubuntu and my computer is running the server edition of ubuntu with an xubuntu GUI.
- We are still waiting on a Network card to set up our fire wall.
- Experimenting with Network Security
- We researched packet sniffing and found a program Wireshark that sniffs packets.
- We all had pidgin install already on our machines. Pidgin is an instant messaging service that can use AIM, MSN messenger or other hosts.
- We found Wireshark in our research and installed it on Willie's and Nick's computers.
- We successfully intercepted many packets. This long list included an e-mail, multiple g-mail chat messages, AIM messages, and a password hash.
- Once we intercepted a password hash we tried our best to reverse it. As of yet we are unable to reverse the hash.
- We have not tried an attack on a firewall yet.
Goals for Second Quarter
- Research Magnetic strip cards.
- Understand Low coercitivity and High coercitivity.
- Understand The difference between the three tracks and how they are separated.
- Build Magnetic strip reader.
- Connect cat5 wire and db-15 connector
- Modify track reader to read the 3rd track, enabling multi-track reading.
- Find or create software to read and write code on magnetic cards.
- Swipe cards such as credit cards and drivers licenses to see what is stored on them
- Learn to Program Magnetic strips
- Find out if metro cards are Low or High coercitivity.
- Research the code for metro cards.
- Put money on metro cards
