CIS150_U5_Project_Final/Unit 4 Course Project: Designing for Security

Designing For Security Network access itself is controlled by controlling the router which is the entry point onto your network. We accomplish this by following these steps in setting up a new router: 1. Change the default username/password provided with the router. 2. Enable WPA2 encryption protocol 3. Set a strong passphrase that includes upper/lowercase letters, numbers, special characters and be a minimum of ten characters long. 4. Turn off SSID broadcasting 5. Enable Mac filtering to allow only the authorized devices within the household access to the network [Luc16]. The services that can be found on my network include:  DNS  HTTP  Email  Printing  DHCP Within my network, the two desktop computers are hardwired into the router using RJ45 connectors on CAT6 cable.
