Introduction
Get to know the “dark side“ of security and how to use “the force“ the right way. In this module, you will learn how to use the computer without exposing it to most of the threats lurking outside, whether this is simple Internet browsing, “innocent“ usage of publicly available Wi-Fi, or usage of a “secure“ corporate network.
About the module
Cyber Security is an ever-evolving field with opportunities waiting for everyone with the interest to learn more and develop their skills in this interesting and demanding topic. This module will show the basic steps most hackers would go through while compromising the victim’s computers and it will define some interesting known and less-known attack vectors and protections against them.
You will not only have a chance to compromise many vulnerable machines by using different attack vectors, but you will also gain knowledge that will help you protect the computers and networks against the attacks covered in this module. The module will also cover some of the latest attacks and methods used in the wild.
The prerequisite for this module is an understanding of the basics of operating systems, networks, and web applications. Nevertheless, the important concepts will be delivered during the class as a refresher. Everyone brave enough to step into this class will be rewarded with the knowledge that is heavily sought after not only in the military/government sector but also in any security-aware corporation/company.
