Contents: This security course is based on material found in the textbooks on the right and articles posted on the bulletin board. The course is divided into four parts:

1. Common vulnerabilities and attacks
2. WiFi security
3. Public-Key Infrastructures
4. Risk management

Recommended qualifications: A basic understanding of wired networks, including the TCP/IP protocols and the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) reference model.

Ethics: The course staff may demonstrate attacks to give you a better understanding of how to protect systems. We will only demonstrate attacks that are known to the security community. In no way should these demonstrations be seen as an encouragement to carry out a real attack. Any such activity is a violation of the trust the course staff have shown you by accepting you as a student.
