Port scanning

Assignment 2 – Port scanning

Submission: When: See blackboard! (fixed deadline, late submission results in -2pts) How: Please upload your result to Blackboard (no E-Mail!). What: one PDF-file (details see Syllabus). Description: Use a port-scanner and scan 1-2 websites on the Internet.

- Do not scan Google, Newhaven.edu and Facebook. - Describe at least 8 different ports.

If the port scanner provides an “extensive” scan (e.g., scanning for the operation system), use this mode. Make a screenshot of your result and describe / summarize the output, e.g., what are the open ports, why are they needed on this server, … . Most popular scanner is nmap (available for Windows/Mac/Linux). However, you are allowed to use any scanner you want. Grading: It is possible to obtain up to 10 points (rough overview):

10 - clearly exceptional; went far beyond expectations in amount and/or quality of work 8 - very good; exceeded some requirements of the assignment 6 - good; met all expectations for assignment 4 - fair; missed some requirements 2 - poor; missed most or all requirements 0 - fail; work was unacceptable or not submitted in time

Your final points are based on the following criteria:

• Content • Grammar • Style/format

Remark: An assignment is individual work (no teamwork!) and thus you are supposed to work on your own. If you copy and paste text from the Internet, it must be quoted. More information about “Academic Integrity Policy” is provided in the syllabus. If you have any questions, check the syllabus or ask the TA or the instructor.

Good Luck!
