Designed and implemented a Router-on-a-Stick network topology to enable inter-VLAN communication between segmented networks.
This lab demonstrates how Cisco networking can be practiced using Linux-based tools such as Dynamips, Dynagen, and VPCS without requiring physical hardware.

Key concepts demonstrated:

• VLAN segmentation
• Inter-VLAN routing
• 802.1Q trunk configuration
• Router subinterfaces
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity troubleshooting
• Cisco router and switch configuration in a Linux environment

Performed network traffic analysis on a compromised host using Wireshark to identify suspicious communications and potential Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).

The investigation focused on analyzing encrypted HTTPS traffic, inspecting TLS handshake metadata, reviewing DNS query behavior, and identifying command-and-control communication over the MQTT protocol.

Key findings included suspicious traffic associated with the Wikiloader malware family, including connections to potentially malicious domains and repeated DNS queries indicating persistent external communication.

Skills Demonstrated

• Network Traffic Analysis
• Wireshark Packet Inspection
• Threat Hunting
• DNS and TLS Analysis
• Identifying Indicators of Compromise (IoCs)
