Description

A series of Flash presentations showing (1) how a packet sniffer works, (2) how Kerberos authentication works, and (3) security issues related to wireless networking.

Evaluation

There are a number of problems with navigation. The controls on the Kerberos and Wireless demonstrations are confusing. It is difficult to tell which controls drive the current animation and which take you to the next scene. It is hard to tell if you have missed anything. I could only get one of the scenes from the packet sniffer tutorial to run. All of the "demonstrations" are static animations. There is no user interaction. The presentations themselves are attractive in terms of the graphics. However, the content is fairly high-level, and one is left hoping for more details.
