Suggestions for a pc networking term project, please.
Hey guys. I am finishing up my bachelors degree in computer networking and for my last year I have to work on a project related to my major. I am allowed to make something up, which I have already done and started on.
Currently I decided to build a basic network to simulate a real world situation which I could then be the "administrator" of. I have configured a Debian Linux gateway and firewall (with iptables) as well as DHCP for my internal network. I have also configured things like DNS, email and webserver. These things are all pretty general and basic; and I am realizing that I lack a bit of specific focus for this whole thing. The good part is that I am re-learning how to do basic things and putting to use a lot that I have learned about networking over the years. The bad part is that its only been a few weeks and I will run out of things to do long before the end of this year-long course.
What I am asking you guys for are some suggestions for what else I could do for this... perhaps something more technical and focused on network security or something...
I am having trouble thinking of stuff, so any input will be of use to me. I need to try to do something that can benefit me in the field.
Thanks!
