EU Internet and Security - 4PUIISEC

Goal(s)

Study communication network architectures and their security.
Build a strong knowledge foundation in network and security to be able to grasp more complex systems, protocols and attacks.

The goal is to learn about communication network through the TCP/IP and Internet models. The class will be both theoretical and practical. Labs will train practical protocol deployment.

Content(s)

The class will focus on the TCP/IP stack. After an introduction to the basic concepts, we will learn about :

• link layer : Ethernet and LAN
• network layer : IP and routing
• transport layer : UDP/TCP, NAT
• basic network security
• attacks on vulnerable protocols
• general knowledge on recent security events

The labs :

• Building a network
• TCP/UDP
• NAT, firewall
• ARP Spoofing
• Password attacks
• Network traffic observation

Basis in networking
