Reference no: EM133818514

To prepare:

Install Apache HTTPD. web server with OpenSSL.

Review all tasks to complete for the Assignment this week. Note: Screenshots are required for all major steps.

Assignment Tasks:

Part 1:

Generate self-generated root keys for the HTTPD server.
(Optional) Alternatively, obtain a trusted certificate for your server

Configure the Apache server with strong cryptography. You are only allowed to use an RSA key with at least 2048 bits with corresponding cryptographic primitives, such as DH-2048, SHA-256, and AES-128.

Ensure you can connect to your Apache HTTPD server with https.

Test your Apache server using the test from either
Note: In order for you to use ssllabs.com to test your server, you need to use names like "ec2-54-71-23-43.us-west-2.compute.IBMcloud.com" instead of the numeric IP addresses.

Use the OpenSSL command line to connect to your SSL server.  Do You Need Help?

For example, use a command such as:openssl s_client -connect yoursApacheHttpsServer:port -cert xxxx.pem -key yyyy.pem.Submit a 3- to 5-page report in Microsoft Word and APA format that includes the following:

Describe in detail the steps you have taken to complete the Assignment, including screenshots for all major steps. Your report should contain:

All the steps and commands that you used to install OpenSSL

All the steps and commands that you used to install your secure Apache server

The process (including screenshot) that you used to generate the root keys

A screenshot showing what kind of cryptographic algorithms are supported in your Apache server

A screenshot to show that you can connect to your Apache HTTPD server with https

The report on testing your Apache server using the test from

A screenshot of the successful connection using the OpenSSL command line to connect to your SSL server

Part 2:

To prepare: 

In the Amazon AWS Ubuntu machine, download memory images from NIST CFReDS project located here:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu 1065246720 Apr 14  2006 boomer-win2003-2006-03-17.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 1065246720Feb 27  2006 boomer-win2k-2006-02-27-0824.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 1065250816May 26  2006 vista-beta2.img

-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu  536715264 Oct 19  2005 xp-laptop-2005-07-04-
You need to analyze these images using the vol command. For help, run
# vol.py -h

After you are familiar with the vol command, try to analyze these images to find valuable information. For example, you may try the following command to see whether there is any openvpn password in the memory image xp-laptop-2005-06-25.img.
# vol.py openvpn -f xp-laptop-2005-06-25.img

After analyzing these five NIST images, you need to analyze the honeynet banking trouble image "Bob.vmem". for the detailed case description.

Lastly, you need to analyze the image "0zapftis.vmem" that contains malware R2D2

Submit a report of 3-5 pages in Microsoft Word and APA format that contains the following:

Major valuable information that you find in these images and the significant screenshots showing that you found the evidence.

Note: To indicate to your Instructor that you found the evidence on your own from your computer, please include in your screenshots the computer name/timestamps, etc. For example, before you take the screenshots, you may run the following commands to show the time and your IP addresses:
ubuntu@siftworkstation:~$ date

Your document should be 3-5 pages (including screenshots but not including the title page and list of references), but it is the quality of the work that is important, not the number of pages. Cite and reference all sources using APA 7 format and style guidelines and submit in a single document.
