Prove | Network Fundamentals | Task 3

Something is wrong with the Network Fundamentals Skill Test lab:

Question 3 I’m pretty sure I have correct, because i have no life ;), but it continues to be marked incorrect. The task asks for the largest object downloaded from the web, including the file type, its size in KB, and the web server name. The format hint indicates the answer should include a 3-character file type, a 3-digit size, and a host with an 11.8.3 character structure (e.g., ..).

Using Wireshark, I filtered for http.response and http.content_length, then sorted responses by content size. The largest object had a Content-Length of , bytes (which rounds to *** KB), and it was a ZIP file served from c********r*.o******4.**g—the only host in the capture that matches the 11.8.3 format required by the hint. I verified this through both the HTTP stream and TCP stream views, as well as by exporting HTTP host statistics and matching the domain with a regex.

This answer (**p, ***, c********r*.o******4.**g) meets all criteria but is still marked incorrect. I also tested other values (like html and text) but these return the same score of 80%, suggesting the entire question is being scored wrong. I believe there may be a grading issue or misalignment in expected rounding or answer format.

Any pointers?

Try removing the space before each comma. Keep the space after.

xxp, xxx, cxxxxxxxxrx.oxxxxxx4.xxg

Hi Joseph,
I believed I tried everything you mentioned and more. I still get scored wrong for that lab task. based on the hint: xxp, xxx, cxxxxxxxxrx.oxxxxxx4.xxg, am I most likely looking at the correct file?

Send me the answer over private message.
