This repository showcases my university networking coursework completed as part of the BSc (Hons) Computing (Networks, Cyber Security & Forensics) degree at Edge Hill University.
It demonstrates my practical skills in Cisco Packet Tracer, Wireshark, and secure network design.
This portfolio includes two major coursework projects from the CIS2706 Computer Networks module:
Focus: Practical lab-based tasks covering fundamental networking principles.
Highlights:
- Packet sniffing and protocol analysis using Wireshark
- Router configuration and ping/traceroute verification
- Subnetting and IP addressing
- Setting up DHCP, DNS, Web, and Email servers
- Network security fundamentals (firewalls, honeypots, bastion hosts)
