Creating Windows firewall rules
Submission Format
You should take the screenshot of your computer display while solving the exercises and paste the image in the doc\docx file. You should also write briefly at the end of each screenshot explaining its purpose and finally summarize your understanding of the whole task (what you have done and how) that you completed.
TASK-03: Windows Firewall with Advanced Security Creating Firewall Rules:
www.cdu.edu.au or cdu.edu.au has the IP address of 138.80.10.69. Create an outbound firewall rule in any of the VMs that will allow the VM’s browser to access all other websites except that of CDU’s one.
Name the rule according to your own CDU student ID
Before you initiate the task, change the VM’s Network from ‘intnet’ to ‘NAT’, this will allow access to internet through your host (physical) machine. So also ensure your physical machine is connected to internet.
You must provide all the necessary screenshots up until the creation of the rule as well as results following the submission format. While providing the result, include browser’s screenshot where it shows it can access other websites but not CDU; plus in the same screenshot, include ping screenshot where it shows – within one command box – a ping request to 8.8.8.8 succeeds whereas another request to 138.80.10.69 fails (the format for screenshot is given next page).
8.8.8.8 is a public DNS server used and maintained by Google so it is always up and running.
Now once you are done with the above and taken necessary screenshots for the whole process and result; make required changes to the rule so that this time, Ping requests to CDU goes through but the website still remains unavailable. (hint: ping uses ICMP while Web Traffic uses TCP).
I’ve attached the following screenshot for reference, as you can see, the browser and command box must be present within a single screenshot.
