Assignment 2: Securing system using IPTable firewall

Due Week 8, Worth 25%

You are required to set up, configure, and test your firewall. You need to do research and reading to
be able to complete this assignment.

You have to discuss the main use, limitations, and possible security holes of your firewall and write it
in your report. You should test that following packages areinstalled on your machines: SSH and
Webserver. Start the services and ensure that they are available for you to do experiment with
IPTable Firewall. You should include screen shots in your answers to show the output of your results.

Important:
You need to save copies of all different configurations (for each part) that you have done.(You
should include your firewall rules and the results in the report)

Configure your firewall to:

1. Reject all ssh packets.

2. Allow ssh remote connections.

3. Deny ping.

4. Reject all traffic coming to port 80.

5. Block incoming traffic connection to your IP address of your virtual machine.

6. Allow traffic coming to port 80 (inbound) but reject traffic going out (outbound) through port 80.

You then have to:

a. discuss the advantages and disadvantages of firewalls with iptables and make suggestions
to overcome the disadvantages in your report.

b. discuss the role and significance of circuit relay firewall in securing communication
byreflecting on the SOCKS package specified in RFC1928 (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1928.txt) in
