Firewall penetration testing

Description:Scenario Attackers are always hunting for clients that can be easily compromised and they can enter such networks with IP spoofing to damage or steal data. The attacker can get packets through a firewall by spoofing the IP address. If attackers are able to capture network traffic, as you have learned to do in the previous lab, they can perform Trojan attacks, registry attacks, password hijacking attacks, etc. An attacker may use a network probe to capture raw packet data and then use this raw packet data to retrieve packet information such as source and destination IP address, source and destination ports, flags, header length, checksum, Time to Live TTL , and protocol type. Therefore, as a network administrator you should be able to identify attacks by extracting information from captured traffic such as source and destination IP addresses, protocol type, header length, source and destination ports, etc. You can also check the attack logs for the list of attacks and take evasive actions.
