What to hand in
The goal of this first lab was primarily to introduce you to Wireshark. The following questions will demonstrate that you've been able to get Wireshark up and running, and have explored some of its capabilities. Answer the following questions, based on your Wireshark experimentation:
- List up to 10 different protocols that appear in the protocol column in the unfiltered packet-listing window in step 7
- How long did it take from when the HTTP GET message was sent until the HTTP OK reply was received? (By default, the value of the Time column in the packet- listing window is the amount of time, in seconds, since Wireshark tracing began. To display the Time field in time-of-day format, select the Wireshark View pull down menu, then select Time Display Format, then select Time-of-day.)
- What is the Internet address of the gaia.cs.umass.edu (also known as www- net.cs.umass.edu)? What is the Internet address of your computer?
- Print the two HTTP messages displayed in step 9 above. To do so, select Print from the Wireshark File command menu, and select "Selected Packet Only" and "Print as displayed" and then click
- Lab Report
Write a minimum of two type-written pages with a minimum of 12-point font describing what you learned in the lab. Do NOT simply repeat the steps you performed, summarize the purpose of the lab by explaining the concepts covered.
Your lab report will be submitted automatically to turnitn.com (Links to an external site.) when you submit it to Canvas. You do not need to do anything besides submit the assignment to Canvas. Be sure you write your report in your own words. If you don't I will know it and you will receive zero points for the lab and face possible other consequences. Although you may work with other to compete the lab procedure, your report MUST be your original work.
