Essay Instructions: This is not a general paper. Someone with knowledge of computer networks and network security should take it up... Please let me know which topic you will decide to work on and a brief outline just so i can check with my instructor if it is fine.... I dont want you writing a paper on a topic which he doesnt accept ...


Here are the instructions:


The paper should be ~7-8 pages or so. I have two general topic areas to suggest. You can pick one...

Network security

Here are some sample topics to write about

* buffer overflow vulnerabilities
* spambot networks
* concealing email senders
* virus propagation
* web-browser vulnerabilities & malicious websites
* cross-site scripting attacks
* others (but check with me first)
* Loyola-scale firewalls, and how to probe and validate them

The mostly social-engineering issues, like phishing attacks, are only incidentally network related, and I'd prefer that networking issues receive more attention.





Backbone routing

Your paper should address some *technical* issues that medium-to-large-scale ISPs must address. Here are some options:

* cisco router configuration
* BGP configuration, and interaction with a site's internal routers
* provider business models
