ASSIGNMENT COVER SHEET
Unit code and title 6G7V0031- Advanced Network Security
Assignment set by: Dr Ali Kashif Bashir
Assignment ID: 1CWK80, 1CWK
Assignment title: Network Security Policy
Assignment weighting: 100%
Type: (Group/Individual) Individual
Hand-in deadline: See Moodle
Hand-in format and mechanism:
1CWK80: A single pdf file via Moodle 1CWK20: A short video via Moodle
Support:
Labs are designed to support the assignment. Unit staff will provide additional support via e-mail or during office hours (stated) on their office door and email.
Learning outcomes being assessed:
- Critically analyse and evaluate the current and emerging trends in network security and its deployment in an organisation.
- Identify and conduct the high-level design of secure network applications.
Note: it is your responsibility to make sure that your work is complete and available for marking by the deadline. Make sure that you have followed the submission instructions carefully, and your work is submitted in the correct format, using the correct hand-in mechanism (e.g., Moodle upload). If submitting via Moodle, you are advised to check your work after upload, to make sure it has uploaded properly. Do not alter your work after the deadline. You should make at least one full backup copy of your work.
Penalties for late hand-in: see Assessment Regulations for Undergraduate/Postgraduate Programmes of Study on the Student Life web pages. The timeliness of submissions is strictly monitored and enforced.
All coursework has a late submission window of 7 days (i.e., 5 working days), but any work submitted within the late window will be capped at 40%, unless you have an agreed extension. Work submitted after the 7- day late window will be capped at zero unless you have an agreed extension. See below for further information on extensions.
Please note that individual tutors are unable to grant extensions to coursework.
Extensions: For most coursework assessments, you can request a 7-day extension through Moodle. This
will not apply to in-class tests, presentations, interviews, etc., that take place at a specific time. If you need a longer extension you can apply for an Evidenced Extension. For an Evidenced Extension you MUST submit 3rd party evidence of the condition or situation which has negatively impacted on your ability to submit or perform in an assessment.
Plagiarism : Plagiarism is the unacknowledged representation of another person’s work, or use of their ideas, as one’s own. Manchester Metropolitan University takes care to detect plagiarism, employs plagiarism detection software, and imposes severe penalties, as outlined in the Student Handbook (http://www.mmu.ac.uk/academic/casqe/regulations/docs/policies_regulations.pdf and Regulations for Undergraduate Programmes (https://www.mmu.ac.uk/academic/casqe/regulations/assessment/docs/ug- regs.pdf). Bad referencing or submitting the wrong assignment may still be treated as plagiarism. If in doubt, seek advice from your tutor.
If you are unable to upload your work to Moodle: If you have problems submitting your work through Moodle you can email it to the Assessment Team’s Contingency Submission Inbox using the email address [email protected]. You should say in your email which unit the work is for, and ideally provide the name of the Unit Leader. The Assessment team will then forward your work to the appropriate person. If you use this submission method, your work must be emailed by the published deadline, or it will be logged as a late submission. Alternatively, you can save your work into a single zip folder then upload the zip folder to your university OneDrive and submit a Word document to Moodle which includes a link to the folder. It is your responsibility to make sure you share the OneDrive folder with the Unit Leader, or it will not be possible to mark your work.
As part of a plagiarism check, you may be asked to attend a meeting with the Unit Leader, or another member of the unit delivery team, where you will be asked to explain your work (e.g., explain the code in a programming assignment). If you are called to one of these meetings, it is very important that you attend.
Assessment Criteria: Indicated in the attached assignment specification.
Formative Feedback:
You will receive formative feedback during your lab sessions. The aim of formative feedback is to help you complete each assessment task.
Summative Feedback Format:
You will have the opportunity to discuss your work in support sessions scheduled for this purpose.

Task 3 – Visualising Network Based Attacks (Programming)
Develop and document python scripts to analyse the packet captures and explain network
behaviour including malicious behaviour, IP address of victim and source, and other
information like port number, protocol, etc. Include short relevant code snippets in your
report and submit the video separately. Your report should be brief and include at least one
screen shot of the visualisation of an attack. Describe how your script could be used to identify
trends in network attacks over time. Include your full source code in the appendix.
300 words Maximum [20]

Analysing Network Traffic 30
Visualizing Network Traffic 20
See the accompanying marking scheme below for a more detailed breakdown of the
allocation of marks.
4. What to hand in
You will need to submit your individual report through Moodle submission inbox, which is
highlighted at the top of the unit Moodle area. In 1CWK80, you will need to submit your
report as one PDF file for all three tasks. Please use the following naming structure for your
report before uploading it to Moodle (“your lastname-firstname-studentID.pdf”). In
1CWK20, you need to capture a video of your code running and producing visualization
successfully and submit it through Moodle.
In terms of formatting, the report must follow font “Times New Roman, size 11 or 12” and the
citations must follow the IEEE Reference Citation (https://ieee-
dataport.org/sites/default/files/analysis/27/IEEE%20Citation%20Guidelines.pdf )
