COS 430 SPRING 2009 HW #6  DUE TUESDAY 2/24/09

In general, for the "Activities", be sure to provide enough information 
about what you saw to convince us that you actually did it. For example, 
if an activity says that you look at a title page, you should write down 
the title that you saw there. If the activity says that there is something 
humorous on a page, you should tell us what was humorous about it. 
Alternatively, you can provide images from your sessions if that is easier 
for you. Thus, you can include a screen shot or printout from a webpage, 
etc. Remember, the key idea is that you convince us that you did the 
activity.

SYSTEM HOMEWORK

Write and submit your weekly report following our guidelines. You should 
omit any parts of the report dealing with attacks since you are still in 
the process of setting up the server. You should focus on explaining what 
you have accomplished so far, the current state of the services that you 
are running, and any problems of special interest that you ran into so 
far.You should discuss what you saw from your server being connected to 
the Internet. Document attacks that were made against your server and 
discuss whether the attacks were successful or not. When we get to the 
Cyberwars you will lose points if your services stay down -- not running 
services is not an acceptable defensive strategy in this class. Be sure to 
create a good report.

BE SURE TO SUBMIT YOUR SYSTEM HOMEWORK ON 2 CDs.
