Network 101

Purpose

Configure and test common network services (HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, SMB) for penetration testing lab environments. Enable hands-on practice with service enumeration, log analysis, and security testing against properly configured target systems.

Inputs/Prerequisites

• Windows Server or Linux system for hosting services
• Kali Linux or similar for testing
• Administrative access to target system
• Basic networking knowledge (IP addressing, ports)
• Firewall access for port configuration

Outputs/Deliverables

• Configured HTTP/HTTPS web server
• SNMP service with accessible communities
• SMB file shares with various permission levels
• Captured logs for analysis
• Documented enumeration results
