Helps you to trace out a path to the target host in the network

Allows you to understand the position of firewalls, routers and other access control devices

Better management of the network

Assignment

Download software of choice (I recommend a free one) from the list on slide 3

Build your network you are on--using the software

After you get your diagram built, write at each point on the network about how an attacker can attack that piece of equipment/software and what damage it could cause to the network (how serious it is or could be).  You'll have a paragraph or two for each of these pieces of equipment:

Firewall

VPN

Proxy

Router/Switch

Gateway

If your network doesn't have all these pieces of equipment (or software), then just write from experience and what you learn from the book about that piece of equipment.  

Instructions for jNetMap

Create a new file (Menu: File > New).

Scan your network for devices (Menu: Tools > Network Scanner).

The Network Scanner will automatically use the IP-Range of your first active network-connection. Change IP/Subnet if necessary. (Hint: Use CIDR-Notation in the first field and hit enter).

Click “Scan”, wait for a moment, then click “Add”.

jNetMap will try to find the best ping-method, name and other settings for the devices and add them to the map.

Drag the devices to an appropriate position on the map or choose a layout from View > Layout.
