==Ten Goals for the Quarter==
+
==Goals and Documentation==
−
1) Set up test lab using a minimum of three computers connect to a hub or switch
+
:*[http://paulbui.net/wl/index.php?title=Willie_Stehm_1st_Quarter 1st Quarter]
−
:*After doing a bit of research we settled on using the Xubuntu operating system.  Xubuntu is a streamlined version of the Ubuntu operating system that is less memory intensive and thus better for older computers such as the ones used in our test lab.  It also cuts out some of the unneeded bundled applications that come with Ubuntu, allowing us to add on only what is useful to us.
+
:*[http://paulbui.net/wl/index.php?title=Willie_Stehm_2nd_Quarter 2nd Quarter]
−
:*While comparing hubs and switches we decided to use a hub.  Hubs unlike switches broadcast packets out to all ports.  This enables us to easily intercept packets, learn to analyze packet data, and learn about network security as a whole.

−
2) Research and use packet sniffers to intercept packets sent by other computers through the network
+
:*[http://paulbui.net/wl/index.php?title=Willie_Stehm_4th_Quarter 4th Quarter]
−
:*Under the recommendation of Mr.Bui we started using a program called [http://www.wireshark.org/ wireshark] (formally known as ethereal) to start capturing packets sent over our test lab network.
 
−
:*Using the im client [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin], we were able to capture packets containing everything from log-on info to messages contents, buddy info, and even password hashes.
 
−
3) Research and document findings on how to crack password hashes
 
−
:*The password algorithm used in the aim protocol is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5 MD5].  MD5 turns the password into a one way 128-bit hash before sending it AOL for verification.  Since MD5 is designed to be a one way algorithm it makes it very difficult to reverse and thus recover the password from the hash.  Two ways we found that this could be done are through the use of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table Rainbow table] or through a password cracker such as [http://www.oxid.it/cain.html Cain and Abel].  Password crackers use vast word lists and compare individual words to the password hash hoping to find a match.
