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<ul>\n<li>Understand the concepts and major constructs of the C programming language,<\/li>\n<li>Master the programming skills of the C programming language,<\/li>\n<li>Be able to analyze the C source code to infer the functionality of a given code segment, C function, C program etc,<\/li>\n<li>Grasp the needed techniques and skills to write a C program in cybersecurity operations such as a network protocol stack,<\/li>\n<li>Monitor and analyze network traffic. Identify and trace the traffic when intrusion is detected in the network,<\/li>\n<li>Identify and evaluate the vulnerabilities in the network and implement effective countermeasures to protect the network,<\/li>\n<li>Master the technologies to exploit the vulnerabilities in a remote system,<\/li>\n<li>Analyze the vulnerabilities in wireless communication network,<\/li>\n<li>Manage data and personal information in a secure manner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!selectors.core.file.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/williamjohnson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39123\/2026\/08\/Lab-Report-CYSE301-Assignment-1.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Lab-Report-CYSE301-Assignment-1.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-88049e97-9805-4d94-acba-b14f8bbbc463\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/williamjohnson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39123\/2026\/08\/Lab-Report-CYSE301-Assignment-1.pdf\">Lab-Report-CYSE301-Assignment-1<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/williamjohnson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39123\/2026\/08\/Lab-Report-CYSE301-Assignment-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-88049e97-9805-4d94-acba-b14f8bbbc463\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cybersecurity Techniques and Operations This course introduces tools and techniques used to secure and analyze large computer networks and systems.
