Description

AAA protocols are critical for strengthening access control in enterprise networks by centralizing identity management and ensuring accountability through activity logging. The case study involves NetBank Ltd., a fictitious financial services company that has outgrown the limitations of traditional local passwords. The organization seeks to transition toward a centralized AAA solution to mitigate risks such as shared credentials, lack of access traceability, and limited administrative control. Students will configure routers to authenticate against TACACS+ and RADIUS servers, verify redundancy through local accounts, and audit system responses under normal and attack conditions.

Steps to reproduce

# Auditing and Configuring AAA with TACACS+ and RADIUS — Dataset This dataset provides configs, logs, and analysis artifacts from a simulated AAA deployment using TACACS+ and RADIUS. ## Contents - `docs/` – Expanded lab description (Problem, Requirements, Guiding Questions, Expected Outcomes) - `scripts/cisco/` – Config snippets for R2 (TACACS+) and R3 (RADIUS) - `data/` – Sample AAA logs (JSON) - `results/` – Test matrix and comparative findings report ## Usage 1. Apply configs to routers in Packet Tracer or GNS3. 2. Simulate login attempts, collect logs, and populate `results/test_matrix.csv`. 3. Update `results/comparative_findings.md` with observations. ## License CC BY 4.0 (data, docs), MIT (configs).
