Physical Network
All cabled up, the network looks like this:
VLC Streaming in a Browser
After creating VLC stream, I was wondering if there was a simpler way to offer streaming to users. Entering an IP address & port may be simple for someone familiar with computers, but for a casual user it may not be practical. To solve this, I decided to research and create a basic webpage to do so.
On the host machine, all I required a VLC plugin to be installed on to each computer being used.
<html>
<head><title>Faculty Video Stream</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Our currently streamed Video</h1>
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
name="stream"
autoplay="yes" loop="no" hidden="no" width="640" height="360"
target="[IPaddressVideoServer]:[Port]" />
</body>
</html>
By going to this webpage I created, a small window on the screen would automatically open the stream that is currently going through the network.

DOS attacks & LOIC
For my security testing, I decided to use Low Orbit Ion Cannon. A Denial of Server tool.
Firstly, using a portable mobile version, I was able to connect to the web server [faculty.school].
It was then able spam the web-server with false TCP traffic.
On to the server, I installed a network interface traffic tool, IPTraf. This showed the traffic being created to the Ethernet connection. Although the traffic isn't that much, around 2Mb of traffic. Without being stopped, this has the potential to add up vary quickly.
I passed this on to the security person of the network, Nathan, who was able to prevent this by applying storm control.

DNS & Web Server working together
As shown in the screen shot below, entering the web address [http://faculty.school] it's able to create a connection to the web server via [10.0.2.66]. It also works with the FTP server, but changing "http" to "ftp".
