Hope Center Monday September 15, 2003 Thomas Watkins

Harry Harshaw
Meeting Place: Hope Center Wood stock Georgia
Meeting time: 6:00pm to 11:00pm
Hours of meeting: 5 hours

Goal:
1. Configure added Security on the network
2. Ensure network integrity by placing my laptop on the network to act as an
unwanted guest

Notes:
Today was to enhance the amount of Security on the network up until this point
we only configured the Router firewall. Norton firewall was also configured to allow
access to the whole IP range of 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254. We placed the Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Harry placed the key on to the network and we attempted to
access the network through the wireless network. We choose to use a pass phrase for the
network instead of a raw Hexadecimal address for the members of the hope center. It was
easily chosen it contained the first three letters of three different names.
Another aspect of the security that had to be addressed was to configure Norton
on each individual machine to only allow traffic in and out from certain IP addresses this
was to combat traffic in the situation that someone was able to hack into the network past
the WEP key. Since all of the network shares use server-based storage and no individual
PC has a share of their own. It was configured to allow traffic in and of 192.168.1.10,
which is the server address. After these two things, where configured the WEP key was
turned off so I could access the network. I was able to obtain an IP address but was
unable to connect to any network resources with out a Windows 2000 server password. In
essential there are three levels of security first is the WEP key, second is Norton security
then network passwords.
Setbacks:
No identifiable setbacks security is functioning, as it should be.
