Comaparison of Raw Packet VS TCP packet To send the raw packet I will be using hping. First create a small file, say a file with just one line “ABCDEF”. Send this file to another host on raw-IP. I create a file called task2a.txt and wrote the text “ABCDEF”. I then sent this file twice using hping to the host 192.168.0.116 in raw IP format using -0 switch in a packet with 80 bytes of data.

Payload of a Linux Ping(ICMP) VS Windows Ping Linux Ping In this capture I am filtering for traffic with the ubuntu server IP and for ICMP traffic. I am also filtering out SSH traffic as I remotely access all my Linux boxes via SSH and do not want to be bombarded with SSH packets in the TCPdump output.
As you can see the linux(Ubuntu Server) ping contains special characters and numbers.

Introduction NOTE: all files can be found here
This post will detail the configuration of a multi network topology that is shown below. This topology incudes multiple subnets and Frame Relay.

Creating and Administrating Users/Groups In this blog I will make user’s and groups. I will then show how we can add users to groups. Since we usually have many services running on the server’s we will need add a layer of security to the services. This layer of security is called the principle of least privilege. To add this layer, we will add each user to an alias and give members of that alias only the privileges they require.
