Title: Lesson 11: Discussion
Course: RITA MC - ITNW 1308 > Section: Lesson 11: Configuring and Maintaining Network Security

You are a desktop technician in the IT department of a small corporation. Today is the day of the company picnic and, as the junior member of the department, you have been left in charge of the entire corporate network while everyone else is out of the office. Shortly after 2:00 PM, an email arrives from the company’s biggest customer, complaining that they can’t access the web server they use to place their orders. After checking the web server logs, it seems clear that the server is undergoing a denial-of-service attack, because there are suddenly hundreds of Internet computers repeatedly trying to access it. What temporary modifications could you make to Windows Firewall on the Windows 8 computer that stands between the web server and the Internet that would allow customers to access the web server while blocking the attackers?

You will post your response to this discussion and respond to at least two of your class members posts. If you do not post your response and respond to two of your class members posts you will not receive credit for any of the work in this discussion. Your post must address all points, be clear and well thought out. It must contain at least 50 words to be considered for grading. You will cite a source for each post or comment that you provide. It is great to say that it is your personal opinion, however that opinion was gained by something that you read or saw. You will need to cite that source.

Note: Your discussion board will have two different deadlines. The first deadline is to have your initial post completed that way your class members will have plenty of time to respond to your post. That deadline is always the Tuesday before the posted due date. The second deadline is your reply to two of your class members post. Missing either of these deadlines will result in an immediate zero. This is the guidelines for all discussion boards.
