CRN 38558 Sat 2-5 SCIE 215 Catalog Description Advanced techniques of defeating computer security, and countermeasures to protect Windows and Unix/Linux systems. Hands-on labs include Google hacking, automated footprinting, sophisticated ping and port scans, privilege escalation, attacks against telephone and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems, routers, firewalls, wireless devices, Web servers, and Denial of Service attacks.



Prerequisites: CNIT 123.



Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: Use Google and automated footprinting tools to locate vulnerable Web servers, passwords, open VNC servers, database passwords, and Nessus reports Perform sophisticated ping and port scans with several tools, and protect servers from the scans Enumerate resources on systems using banner-grabbing and specific attacks against common Windows and Unix/Linux services including FTP, Telnet, HTTP, DNS, and many others, and protect those services Use authenticated and unauthenticated attacks to compromise Windows and Unix/Linux systems and install backdoors and remote-control agents on them, and protect the systems from such attacks Enter networks through analog phone systems, defeating many authentication techniques, and defend networks from such attacks Penetrate PBX, voicemail, Virtual Private Network (VPN), and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems, and defend them Perform new wireless attacks, including denial-of-service and cracking networks using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA-2 Identify firewalls and scan through them Perform classical and modern Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and defend networks from them Locate Web server vulnerabilities, exploit them, and cure them Describe many ways Internet users are attacked through their browsers and other Internet clients, and the protective measures that can help them Textbooks Hacking Exposed, Sixth Edition by Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, and George Kurtz -- ISBN-10: 0071613749 Buy from Amazon
