Course
Description: This extremely popular class focuses on network security,
and makes an excellent companion class to the GL550: Host Security course.
Protocols used in Linux, UNIX, and Windows 2000 are examined. After a
detailed discussion of the TCP/IP suite component protocols and ethernet
operation, the student practices using various tools to capture, analyze,
and generate IP traffic. Students then explore the tools and techniques
used to exploit protocol weaknesses and perform more advanced network
attacks. After building a thorough understanding of network based attacks,
course focus shifts to the defensive solutions available. Students
install, configure, and test two of the most popular and powerful NIDS
solutions available. Finally, students create a Linux based router /
firewall solution, including advanced functionality such as NAT, policy
routing, and traffic shaping. |
