Course Title: UNIX System & Network Security
Course Code: SDI-USS1




     
     
Course Description: This course discusses system and network security and how system managers and administrators can identify potential security problems and implement security measures on a system. The focus of the course is on the inherent security vulnerabilities commonly found on Unix-like operating systems and in network services and how to correct them. Examples are presented which illustrate how to insure a high level of security confidence against unauthorized users from accessing the system. The common methods used to attempt to gain access to a system, gain unauthorized root access permission, become another user, plant trojan horses or spoofs, and other ways of circumventing the normal system protection are disclosed. A detailed discussion with examples is provided on how the network is exploited. Methods for detecting and securing network security problems are discussed and the attendees are shown how to correct potential problems with web services.

Each attendee will receive detailed audit checklists and sample programs programs which will assist in performing security auditing and risk analysis and implementation of security measures.

Note: This course is applicable to Solaris, Linux, AIX, HP-UX, and other Unix-like operating systems. Throughout the course it is noted where there are operating system specific differences.
