Then log in to '''users.isi.deterlab.net''' through [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Putty.] For help on logging onto Putty check out [https://trac.deterlab.net/wiki/DETERSSH this] tutorial. 

=== Setting up apache ===
We need to generate traffic in our network and one of the easiest ways to do that is with HTTP traffic, so we need to set up a server and a web page.  Connect to Server 1 and use the command: `sudo /proj/DeterTest/runme.nodeA` This will run a script with Apache 2 which sets up the server and web page and displays the users IP address on the Server 1 node.  When prompted "Do you want to continue [Y/n]?" select `Y` Once the script is done running, the server is now set up and we can generate traffic!  You can check this by typing `w3m http://localhost/cgi-bin/ip.cgi` which should display your IP address.

It should look like this. Repeat this process on Server 2

=== Setting up the proxy node ===
Log onto the proxy node and use the command: `sudo /proj/DeterTest/runme.proxy` this will run a script which installs and sets up [https://banu.com/tinyproxy/ tinyproxy] on the node. The proxy is now set up!  We'll get to using it in a little while.

== Step 2 Viewing Network Traffic ==
We are now ready to begin learning!  One person needs to connect to either Alice while another person logs into the server1 node (or server2 if you choose).   From the server node type the command `ifconfig` This will show the ethernet links that the node is using.

Find the one that shows an inet address of 10.x.x.x In the example above it is eth0. Yours may be different, but that is still ok.
Then type the command `sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -x -w /tmp/tcpdump.pcap` This will begin listening to the traffic that comes through this node and that specific ethernet link, eth0 in the example, and write the data out to the file tcpdump.pcap in the tmp diretory.  At this time, the person connected to Alice will enter the command `wget http://server1/cgi-bin/ip.cgi`  This saves a local copy of the web page set up on the server, and by doing so generates HTTP traffic to examine.
