Introduction to Network Security

 This is the home page for the CS417f Network Security Course. CS417f students should feel free to add any links that you want in the area provided at the bottom of this page. This file is located on \\center\usr\courses\cs417f\common\home.htm (unless you are logged in on Center and have read permission in the appropriate directory clicking on the link to the left won't get you much) Everyone in the CS417f group on Center has write permissions in the COMMON directory.

Note: When you place files on the CENTER server in the COMMON directories the file name should conform to DOS filename conventions. This limitation will go away soon when I have time to get around to adding long name space support to the volume. Thus, any HTML files you create should use htm as the extension not html. There is a subdirectory under COMMON called HTML. If there is a page that doesn't seem to fit anywhere else in the directory structure under common you can stick it there.

The "PITS" Projects.

PITS was a project designed to familiarize students with the task of setting up a server file system with the appropriate permissions structures to model the work relationships that obtain in a large organization. The Class was divided into three groups. Each group constructed a Windows NT Server and Windows NT Workstation. Users and groups were defined in the domain for a mythical university. Summaries of the techniques used by each group are given in the links below.
