Network Forensics — Week 11
Week 11
This session we learned about switches, routers as wells as firewalls.
Switches are in OSI Layer 2. This contains the MAC address in hexa code. This MAC address identifies the device that is being used as it is unique. However, this MAC address can be easily faked. ARP allows users to convert the MAC address into IP address.
On the other hand, routers are in OSI layer 3. Unlike switches, routers can make routing, meaning it can make a connection between different network whereas switches can’t.
Firewalls have the details on successful or failed connection attempts, protocols , and applications in the network.
