This course introduces tools and techniques used to secure and analyze large computer networks and systems. Students will systematically learn C programming in the first part of the course, which forms a foundation for many cybersecurity operations, such as malware analysis, understanding network protocol stack, etc. In the second part, students will explore and map networks using a variety of diagnostic software tools, learn advanced packet analysis, configure firewalls, write intrusion detection rules, perform forensic investigation, and practice techniques for penetration testing. The objectives are:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Understand the rules and laws involved in real-world cyber operations,
\n\u2022 Understand the basic components of the model computing networks, and take different
\ntechniques to identify and trace the network traffic if an instruction is detected inside a
\nnetwork,
\n\u2022 Identify and evaluate the vulnerabilities in the network and implement effective
\ncountermeasures to protect the network from possible attacks,
\n\u2022 Understand how to plan, organize and perform penetration testing on a network,
\n\u2022 Understand different cryptographic protocols, tools, and mechanisms used for different
\nsystems, and exploit their weaknesses accordingly,
\n\u2022 Manage data and personal information in a secure manner<\/p>\n
