Assignment

Cyberspace and the Internet (the Web) are closely related. The term "Internet" refers to a series of protocols which represent actual methods of access and transfer of digital assets.

Most internet users are familiar with the protocol of HTTP and the multimedia part of the Web called the World Wide Web (WWW). Other protocols are included in the TCP/IP protocol suite. IT and Web specialists are aware of these other protocols and their uses. Knowledge of these protocols is important to recognizing risks in cyberspace.

This lab will employ one of these additional protocols and demonstrate the "reach" and scope of Cybersecurity and the Cyber Domain.
