Running a public network internet connection can be a heavy risk since it allows a number of unknown and anonymous devices to come into the organization and potentially cause havoc on the network. How would you control access to such a connection?
ANSWER:
GIVEN THAT:
(A). It becomes easy to fetch the details like the user name and password when connected to the public network internet. Even when many routers which are wireless has firewall to protect but still stealing becomes easy when one is connected to a public network and the data is at risk.
(B).There is another risk called as HoneyPot where the hackers use their own password or wifi to connect which will help them grab the data which are confidential.
(C).Brute-force/ cracking attack, war driving, karma attack and Wifi-Sniffing are some of the common attacks when connected to public network.
TO PREVENT FROM BEING HACKED AND CONTROL THE ACCESS OF SUCH CONNECTION:
1) Check the network that one is being connected to
2) Automatic connect to the any public network should be set to off.
3) Connections should be made via HTTPS which would encrypt the data if send or received. Use of VPN is advisable over HTTPS.
4) Use of two factor authentication services which would need password and code is a good way to secure the information from getting hacked.
5) Turning off the public network sharing while one is connected to an unsecure network
6) Keeping the firewall enabled is advisable
7) For any sensitive operation using a secure website is needed.
8) One must keep the Wi-Fi turned off
9) Updating and patching is necessary
10) An updated antivirus would help.
11) Securing the browser before one goes online

please write about your computer network/internet access security system. Write a one to two page reflection on your experience in this week's lab. Were you surprised by any of the results? In what way? How do you feel about your information passing through a number of devices on the way to its destination? Would you feel differently if you knew some of those devices were not properly secured?
Question 2 (20 marks) – Improving network design Jim is
impressed by your report and asks you to write a proposal to
improve the network, although his budget is limited he tells you
that if you can justify your design choices you may be able to
purchase some more equipment. You will need to provide a new
network design diagram in PowerPoint format, thankfully Jim has
included a couple of slides with various network equipment elements
that you can use...

(1) Computer hosts usually have two addresses, an Internet Protocol (IP) address and an Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) address. For the benefit of humans, the IP address is normally represented as a dotted decimal notation, such as 192.168.10.2. Each of the decimal octets in the address or a mask can be converted to 8 binary bits. Remember that the computer only understands binary bits. If all 4 octets were converted to binary, how many bits would there be? (2)...
1. Data management, device management and network management of IoT is crucial to data integrity and transmission. T F 2. An IoT application is a set of wireless devices that act together to perform some sensing and control function. Most applications also provide a user interface, such as a mobile app or cloud-based service. In general, each application is deployed independently of any other applications that may be operating in the area and forms its own separate, cryptographically isolated network....
