These activities were really engaging and helped me understand how data can move through a network and how vulnerabilities can be detected and addressed.&nbsp;I obtained a lot of exposure to penetration testing concepts as well as cryptographic tools, which in turn gave me a better understanding of how systems can be exploited and protected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Throughout this course, I developed strong technical and analytical skills, particularly in networking, system security, and problem solving. I learned how to evaluate the vulnerabilities within systems, apply security measures, and&nbsp;to think&nbsp;critically. About how attacks may occur and how to best prevent them and defend.&nbsp;These skills are essential for my future career in cyber security as these help provide a foundation for understanding both offensive and defensive strategies in real world environments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;This course was essential to me as it helped prepare me for future roles by giving me the&nbsp;hands on&nbsp;experience with the tools in cybersecurity as well as techniques that are used in this field. It has also improved my ability to view and analyze complex systems as well as respond to potential threats.&nbsp;The knowledge I gained will allow me to approach challenges with a deeper understanding of how the system may&nbsp;operate&nbsp;and how they can be secured.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/arianlovo1289\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37178\/2026\/05\/annotated-assignment202.22028129.docx-1_compressed.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">annotated-assignment202.22028129.docx-1_compressed<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This assignment was an analysis done from wireshark.
