Network Games

Part of Assignment 2.

In this part of the assignment you need to play the BlueTeam game created by a prior Masters student of Dr Vaniea’s. The game content is considered examinable on the final. For those with less familiarity with networking and firewalls, we also provide two games that may help you better understand the topics.

  • CS4G Netism - teaches the basics of networking. Highly recommended for anyone that has not taken a Networking course.
  • Permission Impossible - teaches the basics of IP Tables firewall rule construction. Game has extensive explaination and slowly steps through how one creates IP Tables firewall rules. If you are struggling with the BlueTeam game below, try this game first.

Required

The game below (levels 1-7) is considered examinable content for the final exam.

  • BlueTeam - Firewall game where the player sets up one or more firewall for various situations and network setups.
    • Known bug/feature: Levels 4 and 7 where the outer firewall is expected to take a least-permissive strategy, but that is not clearly stated in the game.
    • Level 8 has some incorrectly stated IP addresses which may cause confusion.
