Wired vs Wireless Network Security Analysis

This document summarizes a study that compares the security of wired and wireless networks using the OPNET simulation tool. It discusses the use of VPNs and firewalls to secure computer networks. The study implements six scenarios in OPNET: wired and wireless networks with and without firewalls, and with and without VPNs. It involves four workstations, including an HTTP client, FTP client, and three ethernet servers connected to either a LAN or WLAN. The document provides references used in the study about securing WLANs, analyzing firewall policies, and trends in firewall configuration errors.

Security comparison of wired and wireless

network using opnet

ABSTRACT:
Computer netwoks are protected using the vpn and firewall.
VPN:
A VPN provides controlled connectivity over a public network such as
the Internet.
VPNs utilize a concept called an IP tunnel-a virtual pointto-point link between a pair of nodes that are actually separated by an
arbitrary number of networks.
Firewall:
A firewall is a specially programmed router that sits between a site and
the rest of the `
network. It is a router in the sense that it is connected to
two or more physical
networks and it forwards packets from one network
to another, but it also filters the packets that flow through it.
Deals with:
opnet,vpn,firewall,wireless and wired network.
NETWORK TOPOLOGY:
LAN and WLAN
Four workstation:
[Link]
[Link]
3. Remote-Custom_Application_Client
4. three ethernet server and three ethernet workstation

Wired and Wireless parameters:

Workstations:
They are used in the whole of the simulations follow the model OPNET
"ethernet_wkstn. A Workstation has 1 CPU, the Ethernet group characteristics
are Full-duplex mode, the promiscuous mode is disabled and the MTU is
Ethernet. The TCP group characteristics are: the MSS has 1, buffer at
reception has 8760 bytes, and the maximum delay ACK is 200 ms.
Implementation:
In this research, work for six different scenarios is simulated.
Scenario 1: This scenario contains with Wired Network with firewall.
Scenario 2: This scenario contains with Wireless Network with firewall.
Scenario 3: This scenario contains with Wired Network with VPN.
Scenario 4: This scenario contains with Wireless Network with VPN.
Scenario 5: This scenario contains with Wired Network without firewall
Scenario 6: This scenario contains with Wireless Network without firewall.
