Computer Information System: Comprehensive Network and Data Analysis

This document presents a detailed solution to a Computer Information System assignment, focusing on network analysis using tools like Wireshark. The solution includes a thorough examination of 'ping' requests, detailing IP addresses, request counts, data sizes, and response times. It further explores HTTP protocol analysis, identifying IP addresses, URLs of password-protected websites, incorrect login attempts, usernames, passwords, and binary data responses. The analysis extends to big data concepts within the captured packets, noting IPv6 network configurations, HSRP implementation for fault tolerance, secure TLS connections, and neighbor solicitation protocols. The document concludes with a bibliography referencing key resources used for the analysis. Students can find similar solved assignments and study resources on Desklib.

1. The ping was sent to the IP address – 138.80.92.2
2. The ping was sent from the IP address – 224.0.0.2
3. 7 requests are made in total
4. The size of the data sent in each request is 106 bytes
5. The average response time for the ping request is 59 ms
PART B: HTTP
1. The IP address and the port number of the password protected website is 128.119.245.12 and
PORT - 80
2. The URL of the password protected website is

been put in is 5.
4. The username and the password for all the wrong attempts are
i. wireshark: students
ii. wire: shark
iii. students: network

PART C: Big Data
From the captured packet the following observations are made
i. The network is a Ipv6 network and the source and destination address are
fe80::d148:bd39:f8ec:d065 and fe80::d9ea:702a:3dba:9aa5.
ii. The router is configured with HSRP for establishment of fault-tolerance and the
router is virtualized to ensure that the traffic is immediately recovered from the first
hop failure.
iii. A secure connection is established with the server and is secured by the TLS protocol.
iv. Then hosts connected in the network finds each other using the neighbor solicitation
as there are no ARP in IPv6.
