Task
The main task is to conduct a penetration test of a network. You will be required to write a report of your penetration test results. The assignment network will contain several host machines and on the machines there will be flags (text strings) that you will need to identify. Each flag starts with the characters FLAG. For each of the flags you locate you should write up the process that you used to access and find the flag. Note that some flags are encrypted, and you will need to decrypt them.
You should set your Kali machine’s local IP address to 192.168.45.1.
Link to the virtual machines:
Host 1: https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/8rSLVAGdjioEPkM
Host 2: https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/gnqWo8XqNl6eYIX
Host 3: https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/s/IK5bDjmgrHzKh3O

Host 3: 3 flags. Difficulty: Inferno.
Host 4: 3 flags. Difficulty: Nightmare.
Submission
Please submit your assignment on the Learning@Griffith website under the Assessment section. The submission involves two documents:
- Each group leader should submit a group report via the “Assignment Report” link. (Please note only the group leader needs to submit this report. Please avoid submissions from other group members.)
- Every student should submit an individual reflection/peer-review document via the “Reflection-Peer-Review Report” link. (Make sure you submit the correct assessment items to the corresponding submission links).
Your assignment will be assessed on:
- The text of both documents should be in 12-point Times New Roman or 11point Arial font or something equivalent, and in single space.
- Page size is A4 with 2cm in margins on all sides.
- The body text of your group report should be no more than 10 pages in length excluding appendices.
- The group report is suggested to be organised with cover page, executive summary within one page, declaration of contributions of each of your group members (within one page), table of contents, body text, and appendices. The presentation of your report is worth 2 marks.
- The body text consists of your overall analysis (open ports, associated services, operating system) of each host and network map of the network (2 marks, 0.5 marks per host), description of how each flag was found and obtained(24 marks, 2 marks per flag), and recommendations on how to protect the network against the attacks (2 marks, 0.5 marks per host).
- The peer-review document should include the contributions of your group members from your point of view. You should give each of the group member a grade out of 10. Your self review is worth 3 marks, and the reviews you get are worth 7 marks.
An example network map is given below, you need to discover the IP addresses (and other useful information) of the target hosts using Nmap (note that it may not resemble the exact network structure of this assignment):
