Question-1

Network administrators hide the IP addresses of the internal workstations and servers from the Internet by enabling Network Address Translation (NAT) on perimeter devices. Does this mean that these internal endpoints are secure? Does NAT contribute to the security of the networks? Explain and justify your responses. Please review existing literature for the security implications of NAT.

Share the screenshot of the result like below. Summarize the discovered weaknesses of the TLS certificate. If there is no weakness discovered, please summarize the top-notch security features of the TLS certificate.

Question 3 – Weekly Learning and Reflection

In two to three paragraphs of prose (i.e., sentences, not bullet lists) using APA style citations if needed, summarize and interact with the content that was covered this week in class. In your summary, you should highlight the major topics, theories, practices, and knowledge that were covered. Your summary should also interact with the material through personal observations, reflections, and applications to the field of study. In particular, highlight what surprised, enlightened, or otherwise engaged you. Make sure to include at least one thing that you’re still confused about or ask a question about the content or the field. In other words, you should think and write critically about what was presented and what you have learned through the session. Questions asked here will be summarized and answered anonymously in the next class.
