Computer Networking Lab

This lab is divided into four clusters. Each cluster has two sub-clusters with three adjacent PCs. A cabinet with at least one server, firewall, two routers, and four switches is dedicated for each of the four clusters. UTP and Console cables are available for students to connect these devices into a LAN, WAN and they can connect the event to the internet to install any additional required software or tool. This lab service mainly some courses such as CSEC 244 routing the switching, CSEC network security, and forensics as well as many other courses.

  • Building and configuring local area networks.

  • Building and configuring wide area networks with VLSM subnetting.

  • Experience a MAC overflow attack and then follow the recommended measures of configuring the switches in order to mitigate this attack. 

  • Experience an ARP spoofing attack and then follow the recommended measures of configuring the switches and routers in order to mitigate this attack.

  • Experience a DHCP Starvation attack that could be used to conduct a MITM attack to facilitate some sort of Phishing attack. Students then follow the recommended measures of configuring the switches and routers in order to mitigate the root cause of these attacks
