CYB 100 Week 1 Individual: Protocols Lab

Cyberspace and the Internet (the Web) are closely related. The term “Internet” refers to a series of protocols which represent actual methods of access and transfer of digital assets.

Most Internet users are familiar with the protocol of HTTP and the multimedia part of the Web called the World Wide Web (WWW). Other protocols are included in the TCP/IP protocol suite. IT and Web specialists are aware of these other protocols and their uses. Knowledge of these protocols is important in recognizing risks in cyberspace.

This lab will employ one of these additional protocols and demonstrate the “reach” and scope of cybersecurity and the cyber domain.

An internet-connected browser-enabled device is required for this lab.

Complete the following:

  1. Research HTTP, TCP/IP, and FTP protocols and accurately describe each.

  2. Launch a browser and go to ftp://ftp.swfwmd.state.fl.us/pub/out/ (When prompted, specify “anonymous” for username and your email address as the password to login into FTP Directory Listing) **if you have trouble accessing the site, please try another browser.

  3. Review the column “Date Modified”

    • What is the date of the oldest file?

  4. Review the column “NAME”

    • What is the name of the first file?

    • What function does the FTP protocol do?

    • Is there a risk involved related to the ease of access to such files?

Write a 90- to 175-word Q&A paper using Microsoft® Word that addresses each of the questions.

Submit your assignment using the Assignment Files tab.
