This will give you a path that the data travels from starting locations in North America Europe, and Asia to the Zurich City Government servers. Click the tabs for the three starting points and look at the corresponding map to observe some of the hops that the data made in its journey. Be sure to scroll down to see the list of the hops (do not just rely on just the maps). Comment on what you see. ls there anything surprising in the results? d. [3 marks] For each of the three paths, find the LAST IP address given in the list of hops (not from the maps). To find the IP address, let your cursor hover over the name of the hop. Then go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and in the grey box at the top right of the page, enter the IP address. Look at the result to find the geographical location (scroll down to see a map).

A) we see the info about the site when created, its expiry and last modified, its origin and its contacts while in making and the servers used. Good guys can use it to inform to the contacts about technicalities while bad guy can server as a spam to attack the contacts and also to hack on the servers.

B) I can see whether the site is functional or not and the time taken to recieve back the packets. Good guys can work on network efficiency while the bad guys can use the data to predict the way to hack on the packet sent.
