Introduction: Can we spy on an insecure protocol? chat example from networks class I can do this easily on Linux or FreeBSD But we're on Windows! What can we do there? Somehow we're lacking a Windows expert... A (maybe) interesting question: Why do switch ports have MAC addresses? Let's play with a real switch for a minute A layer 2 switch, since that's what I have around Can we observe its MAC address? I don't think I own a hub anymore Alright, traffic from one lab computer to another: What mac addresses do we see? Routers, by contrast: We can use isoptera, since I can access it Interlude about working remotely: Network admins don't always sit in front of the computer they're using Obviously...routers, etc. Server rooms are inhospitable Remotely-forwarded GUI: My cousin and his mouse pad Even Microsoft is getting away from this GUI in a web browser: Much better, because the cursor isn't slow You can forward the GUI through an SSH tunnel easily My router has one...let's pull it up! Command line: Really fast if you know what to type Super confusing and slow if you don't Sort of biased toward fast typists Keep using it and you'll become one Latency can actually be a bit of a pain For text editors, etc Can usually copy config files locally if you need to Visual Studio Code has some nifty features for this This is a latency issue Not normally a bandwidth issue, although X forwarding has one Back to it: Wish I had wireshark in packet tracer Or tcpdump For your information: Quick explanation "tcpdump" Maybe it's actually there, and I've never clicked the right place I think it's called "network collector" More switch configuration! Let's add more computers this time No computers We'll look at how the MAC address tables come out Might end up with more than one IP per interface Maybe we'll learn something: What if you connect a switch to itself? What if you put a few of them in some kind of loop? How about trying this with fiber? Hopefully, I'll do this once before class and make sure it works... Lab: How much latency does this stuff add? Test 1: Two computers, one switch between them Test 2: Two computers, 2 switches between them Test 3: Two computers, 5 switches between them Test 4: Two computers, 1 router between them Test 5: Two computers, 2 routers between them (you'll need RIP or something) Test 6: Two computers, 5 routers between them (again, need RIP)
