Computer networks miscellaneous

  1. An IP machine Q has a path to another IP machine H via three IP routers R1, R2, and R3.
    Q—R1—R2—R3—H
    H acts as an HTTP server, and Q connects to H via HTTP and downloads a file. Session layer encryption is used, with DES as the shared key encryption protocol. Consider the following four pieces of information:
    [I1] The URL of the file downloaded by Q
    [I2] The TCP port numbers at Q and H
    [I3] The IP addresses of Q and H
    [I4] The link layer addresses of Q and H Which of I1, I2, I3, and I4 can an intruder learn through sniffing at R2 alone?
    1. Only I1 and I2
    2. Only I1
    3. Only I2 and I3
    4. Only I3 and I4
Correct Option: C

Sniffing at R2 alone, an intruder can learn the TCP port numbers and IP address of Q and H.
