ETH assignment questions

hmm... some of the questions inside the assignment are not too clear... so some parts are explained here...


Right before 1a, the following can be found:
"Note: Show how you derive your findings by attaching details in an Appendix and provide references. "

This means that we have to include the tools used for each part and briefly explain how the answer is derived
(eg format:
Question: [question number]
Tool(s): [tool name(s)]
Step(s): [important steps taken]
)


For 1b,
For answers, no specific tool to use, hint is to find and read their websites for such info...


For 1f,
Domain name=
host names(eg. dns.mediaservice.net and other [something].mediaservice.net and [something].blackhats.it)
(not very sure about this...)

These 3 are more confusing questions... if got others can post in cbox


extra tip...(added 28/11/2007):
for 1f, 12 marks question should not have too short answers... and the answer really is quite long... lol...

so... tip is... use their mail server to find more answers...
happy trying!


extra tips again... (added 29/11/2007):
For 1b, subsidaries and diaster recovery etc should be given for mediaservice.net also

For 1f, domain names should include web domain names(eg. www.mediaservice.net)
For ppl who found alot of domain names and deciding if they should be included... this is a quote from mr lai...
"Pls include them in the report if you can quite confirm it's relevant"

"hidden" ip range and domain names(added 4/12/2007 7:30):
Hmm... assignment already submitted... so here is how to get ip range...
1. find mail server(mail2.mediaservice.net)
2. "host mail2.mediaservice.net" and get 213.254.20.2
3. you can see that the third bit is different from 213.254.16.* block
4. "whois 213.254.20.2" and get the "hidden" ip range(213.254.20.0-213.254.20.255)
5. write a script to host each of the ips inside this range and you should get 11 new domain names...
