Assessment Item: Introduction
assessment has been designed with the objective of using Kali Linux to expose vulnerabilities in a Windows PC. The vulnerabilities that Kali Linux will expose are the open services and port addresses that intruders can easily exploit to gain access to a Windows system, thereby posing a security threat.
You must use the Kali VM and Windows 10 VM configured in Session 5 with open ports to complete this assessment.
Use the nmap in Kali tool to analyze the vulnerabilities and the open ports from the Windows 10 VM, and make a report about the following:
A detailed Scan report of Kali and your view about the report.
What are the services related to the opened ports in Windows VM? You must give the usage of those services as well.
Vulnerability of every port/service mentioned in Step 2. Moreover, you must explain what the threats to an organization are due to those open ports.
How to mitigate those vulnerabilities.
The report should be 1000 words and should contain all the necessary screenshots taken from your VMs. Note that the screenshots should show the username of your PC as your student ID. (refer to labs 1 and 2)
Introduction
In this individual assignment, you are expected to install a commercial proxy server along with an online virus guard. The main objective of this assignment is to have students install a commercial proxy server to filter traffic based on its authenticity and intention. Specifically, students will install the Squid proxy server into the pfSense virtual host and configure it as both a proxy server for the LAN environment and an online virus guard.
To accomplish this, students should use pfSense, which was installed in session 5, to install Squid and the CLAM antivirus. The installation process, including configurations such as Windows proxy configurations, should be recorded via screen recording.
The activities the students should perform in this assessment.
Install pfSense and log into pfSense using either Kali Linux or Windows 10 VM.
Install Squid on pfSense.
Configure firewall rules in pfSense to enable the Squid proxy. The firewall should allow the local network for port address 3184.
Configure Squid, including local cache and remote cache, and enable the proxy to work.
Disable the NAT interface of the Windows PC and configure the local network of both Windows and pfSense. Set the IP address of the Windows VM as 192.168.1.100/24 and ensure the pfSense IP address is set to 192.168.1.1/24. Ping from the Windows VM to pfSense and ensure the connectivity between pfSense and Windows 10 VM.
Configure the Windows 10 virtual machine to use the proxy server as 192.168.1.1 and port 3184 and go to the Internet. You can do that by editing Windows 10 network settings to use a Proxy.
Enable and configure the "CALM" Antivirus guard in Squid.
