Task:
1. Perform a formal risk assessment of a computer network of
your choice (A sample network architecture will be provided for your
reference). You must seek my approval of the network architecture before
proceeding. Locate references that assist in these assumptions and have a
minimal architecture of dimensions equivalent to the provided sample;
2. You must model the expected network traffic between each
and every pair of network devices i.e., links, in your network;
3. Download and install the R binaries from : R Binaries
4. Based on the network traffic model from Step 2 above,
generate a dataset of network traffic values with the following TCP/IP header
content: {Sequence ID, Source IP address, Destination IP address, Source Port
number, Destination Port number, Protocol} - The dataset should have a minimum
of 10K rows (data samples)
5. Run statistical analysis on the generated dataset using
the R language. Common statistics collected on data include: Mean, Median and
Variance of Occurring values for each header component of the dataset.
6. Using R, plot Source IP address vs Protocol, Destination
IP address vs. Protocol, Source Port number vs. Protocol, Destination Port
number vs. Protocol.
7. Write up an analysis of the data based on the results
obtained above.
8. Recommend improvements to the architecture to help
mitigate the effects of a network traffic-intensive attack.
