Course Work
The below images are a few examples of some hands-on lab work that I enjoyed learning about in this class.
This image represents a type of Network Topology. There are many different topologies such as a Tree, Star, and Ring topology just to name a few. This topology is similar to the tree topology because each item is then branched off into other items.
Nmap is another assignment that I learned about in class. Nmap is an open-source network vulnerability scanner used to discover hosts and open ports/services.
Zenmap is the GUI interface to Nmap. This image shows the GUI for Zenmap.
