CYSE 301 Project

Wifi Password Cracking

Cybersecurity Assignment

In the course, it involved many activities. A few activities that I would like to mention would be such as cracking the Wi-Fi password activity. In this project, we did the following:

Reported on how to block ICMP traffic from an external Kali machine to an Ubuntu VM using pfSense firewall rules.

Blocking ICMP from Kali to Ubuntu: created a rule on the WAN interface of pfSense to block IPv4 ICMP packets from Kali’s IP address (192.168.217.3) to Ubuntu’s IP address (192.168.10.10).

Blocking all traffic from Kali to LAN: modified the rule to block all IPv4 packets from Kali’s IP address to the entire LAN subnet (192.168.10/24).

Allowed FTP from Kali to Windows Server 2008: added another rule on the WAN interface of pfSense to allow IPv4 FTP packets from Kali’s IP address to Windows Server 2008’s IP address (192.168.10.11).

Testing the firewall rules: performed ping and FTP tests from Kali to Ubuntu and Windows Server 2008 and observed the results. I found that the firewall rules work as expected, except for HTTP traffic, which is blocked by default.
