1. The DNS, web and NTP servers should be accessible
from the Internet on the standard ports for the applications that
run on these servers. Are these servers
accessible?
2. The IT department network should be allowed to access
the www server on the unencrypted HTTP port for troubleshooting
purposes. Does the current firewall rulebase allow this
traffic?
3. The HR server should only be accessible by the HR
network. Is access to the HR server appropriately
restricted?
4. The files.nozama.com server should only be accessible
by anyone on the internal network. Is access to the
files.nozama.com server appropriately restricted?
5. The IT department network should be allowed to access
any host on the internal network via the Microsoft Remote Desktop
Protocol. Does the current rulebase allow this
traffic?
6. Any host on the internal network should be able to
access the DHCP server to obtain network address information.
Does the current rulebase allow this traffic?
7. The server, rnd.nozama.com, should only be accessible
by the R&D network. Does the current rulebase
appropriately restrict access to this sever?
8. Are there any rules in the rulebase that would never
be used based on the current configuration? If so, which
rules? How would you fix the rulebase so that these rules would be
used?
9. What rule is missing from the rulebase?
**If question is to big, answer what you can. Thank
you!**
