Description

The world of information security consists of a multitude of complex issues and techniques on how to deal with the many environments that can be vulnerable to global cyber-attacks. The groups that get stronger are not only the hackers who try to hurt you but also the defense groups in the organizations, the more known the attacks, the more definite their defense.

The course offers participants advanced levels of attack to evade the many defense mechanisms available in the market today with the help of independent tools and Python programming capabilities .

How to make the most of this course?

In order to succeed in the course, the following requirements must be met:

  • Participation in all practical laboratories
    Self-work at home between lessons;
  • Repetition of materials, self-learning, performing tasks, etc …

In addition to regular classroom studies, the participant is required to practice at least 10 hours a week in order to gain practical experience in the field.

Real cases studies

Case study #1 (OP001)
According to the latest revelation from the "whistleblower" Edward Snowden, British spy agency GCHQ hackers are using NSA search engines similar to Shodan in an attempt to exploit them. Your team was selected to mitigate the case; most of the engines running on Python. Use your automated tools to solve the case.
Reference
Case study #2 (OP002)
Recently, the Internet witnessed a record-breaking, most massive DDoS attack of over 1 Tbps against France-based hosting provider OVH. Following the recent attack, a special team was hired to track the attack.
