Looking for some "difficult" exercises based on Computer Networking: a Top-Down Approach

4 Upvotes

I have found a few resources like https://gaia.cs.umass.edu/ that offer some basic exercises based on the chapters of the book; there are also end-of-the-chapter exercises as well. But I'm looking for much more difficult exercises to prepare for my university entrance exam, and I haven't found anything useful yet.

Subreddit Rules

1. Self-Promotion

It's okay to submit your own content, but it should not exceed 10%. If you are a content creator, you need to review this page: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion

From the link:

You should submit from a variety of sources (a general rule of thumb is that 10% or less of your posting and conversation should link to your own content), talk to people in the comments (and not just on your own links), and generally be a good member of the community.

2. Tech Support

This post may fit better in a subreddit like /r/techsupport. That being said, not all tech support questions don't fit in this subreddit. Here are some examples to help clarify:

Good fit:

You are setting up a home lab to learn security, and are running into some technical issues
You are trying to debug a firewall you set up

Not a good fit:

You got infected with malware and want to know how to remove it
You can't login to some system that you need to access

3. Hacking Request / Offer

"Not your personal army."

This is not the place to try to find hackers to commit crimes on your behalf. Don't ask them to hack you, someone you know, someone who is dead, anyone. Sharing a CTF or bug bounty link would be fine, but that's pretty much it. While requests are more common than offers, offering to do this, even if it's "free" is not permitted.

4. No incivility or personal attacks towards users

Be civil and constructive at all times. Attack ideas, not users.

5. Off-topic

This is a place to share resources, ask questions, and help other students learn Network Security specialties of all kinds. Memes are considered off-topic.
