FIT1047 Introduction to computer systems, networks and

security - S1 2022

Assignment 4 – Cybersecurity

Purpose In Part 1 of this assignment, students will analyse and discuss a recent

vulnerability or cybersecurity attack. The report will demonstrate an understanding

of related cybersecurity topics and demonstrate the ability to research information

on cybersecurity incidents.

For part 2, students prepare a video presentation with slides that shows how a

given set of security controls are used in a medium-sized enterprise scenario. This

demonstrates an understanding of the different security controls and the ability to

assess and explain their use.

The assignment relates to Unit Learning Outcomes 5, 6, and 7

Your task You need to choose one option and submit a report with your findings regarding

the analysis tasks for Part 1. For Part 2, you need to prepare a video presentation.

The instructions below contain concrete questions you should answer in your

report and presentation. All files (a pdf file for Part 1 and a video file along with

slides in pdf for Part 2) have to be submitted via Moodle.

Value 30% of your total marks for the unit

Parts 1 and 2 are 15% of the total marks for the unit each.

Word Limit Part 1: A report with between 500 and 700 words

Part 2: A presentation video not longer than 5 minutes

Due Date Friday, June 10, 11:55 pm

INSTRUCTIONS

PART 1 - Analyse a cybersecurity vulnerability or incident (upload 1 pdf file with the report to Moodle)

Information on security problems, weaknesses and attacks can be found in many places (blogs, newsletters,

experts' pages, etc.). Your task is to pick one item only from the following list (additional other sources can be

added, but need to cover the same vulnerability/incident), read the news item, look up and read the referenced

sources, and finally write a report on the findings.

Follow the following steps to write your report

1. Choose one of the 8 news items above, read the text.

2. Look up and read the articles and information referenced in the news item.

3. Write a short summary of the news item in your own words (max 200 words).

4. Identify which software, hardware or system is affected (max 50 words). The identification should be as

precise as possible. Include exact product names, distribution of the product, version numbers, etc.

5. Describe how the problem was discovered and how it was initially published. Try to find this information

in the referenced articles. The problem might have been found by researchers at a university, by a

professional security company, by some hacker, published in a scientific conference/journal, in a

newspaper on a blog, etc. Was it the result of targeted research, found by chance, were any tools used,

etc? (write 50-100 words)

6. Discuss how serious the issue/weakness/attack is, describe what is necessary to exploit the weakness,

evaluate what the consequences might be if it is exploited, and what reactions you think are

necessary/useful on (i) a technical level, (ii) in terms of human behaviour, and (iii) on a policy level

(between 200 and 350 words).

7. Create a pdf file and upload it to Moodle

Part 2 - Security controls in a medium sized company scenario (upload 1 pdf file with the slides and 1

video with your presentation to Moodle)

For this part you take on the role of a security architect (as defined in the NIST NICE workforce framework) for a

medium sized company. You have a list of security controls to be used and a number of entities that need to be

connected in the internal network. Depending on the role of the entity, you need to decide how they need to be

protected from internal and external adversaries.

Entities to be connected:

● Employee PCs used in the office

● Employee laptops used from home or while travelling

● Company web server running a web shop (a physical server)

● 1st Data-base server for finance

● 2nd Data-base server as back-end for the web shop

● Mail server

● Printer and scanner

● Research and development team computers

● WiFi access point for guests in the office

Security controls and appliances (can be used in several places)

● Firewalls (provide port numbers to be open for traffic from the outside)

● VPN gateway

● VPN clients

● TLS (provide information between which computers TLS is used)

● Authentication server

● Secure seeded storage of passwords

● Disk encryption

● WPA2 encryption

To prepare for your presentation video, follow these steps:

1. Create a diagram of your network (using any diagram creation tool such as LucidChart or similar) with

all entities

2. Place security controls on the diagram

3. For each security control explain what it is used for and why

4. Create slides for the diagrams and the explanation for security controls. Prepare a maximum of 10

presentation slides, excluding the title page, references, and Appendix. Any page beyond the page limit

will not be marked.

5. Record a video presentation (using Panopto, Zoom, Teams or any software of your choice) showing the

slides and you talking to the slides (length maximum 5 minutes)

6. At the start of the video, introduce yourself and show your ID (Monash or others) while introducing

yourself.

7. The video needs to be in a common format (AVI, MOV, MP4, M4V, etc) and should be of high enough

quality to be clearly understood and viewed. The video should be no more than 500Mb in size

8. Upload the slides in pdf and the video to Moodle.
