We have been discussing different aspects of the Network, however, we should also give consideration to Network Security. In fact, this should be part of your thinking when designing any network, not an after thought.

In this presentation/lab, we'll give a brief Introduction to Network Security and some basic pen testing tools.

Bring a laptop or similar device with Wireshark installed and we'll explore live Pen Testing in our "lab" network.

Afterword, we will go out for a beer/coffee.

NetSIG is a Special Interest Group focused on computer networking. Building networks for Today and Tomorrow! We will be meeting virtually and in person at the Quality Foods Small Boardroom at Eagle Ridge in View Royal.
