ITN 261 Network Attacks, Computer Crime, and Hacking
Question Description
Project: Threat and Vulnerability Analysis, Incident Response, and Security Design – 20 points. Students will be required to install VirtualBox (or VM Player) onto either a classroom PC or their own PC (note: no support is provided if students are using their own PCs, and students are encouraged to work out their own problems anyway even if using the classroom PC). Students will then work either independently or as a team of no more than 2 individuals to select standing up 2 operating systems as prescribed by the instructor, including Metaspolitable (a vulnerable server you will scan to find vulnerabilities). At the end of the semester, you or your team will complete network discovery (NMAP), complete vulnerability scan (Nessus), and prove penetration of 1 of your virtual machines (Metasploit). Your project will be graded as follows:
Scanning Project Scoring Criteria |
Points |

1 – 4 points |
Installed and successfully ran Nessus – Identify vulnerabilities |
1 – 4 points |
Installed and successfully ran Metasploit (or equivalent) – Demonstrating penetration into machine. |
