Riassunto

Practice the Computer Security Skills You Need to Succeed!

• 40+ lab exercises challenge you to solve problems based on realistic case studies
• Step-by-step scenarios require you to think critically
• Lab analysis tests measure your understanding of lab results
• Key term quizzes help build your vocabulary
• Labs can be performed on a Windows, Linux, or Mac platform with the use of virtual machines

In this Lab Manual, you'll practice

• Configuring workstation network connectivity
• Analyzing network communication
• Establishing secure network application communication using TCP/IP protocols
• Penetration testing with Nmap, metasploit, password cracking, Cobalt Strike, and other tools
• Defending against network application attacks, including SQL injection, web browser exploits, and email attacks
• Combatting Trojans, man-in-the-middle attacks, and steganography
• Hardening a host computer, using antivirus applications, and configuring firewalls
• Securing network communications with encryption, secure shell (SSH), secure copy (SCP), certificates, SSL, and IPsec
• Preparing for and detecting attacks
• Backing up and restoring data
• Handling digital forensics and incident response

Instructor resources available:

• This lab manual supplements the textbook Principles of Computer Security, Fourth Edition, which is available separately
• Virtual machine files
• Solutions to the labs are not included in the book and are only available to adopting instructors
