CS 262Introduction to Practical Security Assessment1098

This course focuses on learning about an area of cybersecurity called practical security assessment (in the industry terms, “penetration testing”). It is an art of offensive security where your primary goal is to evaluate the defense mechanisms of the network, identifying vulnerable points, exploiting them, exfiltrating information, setting up persistence, and most importantly, writing a report about it that will help the company to better prepare for a real-world cyberattack. Moreover, a typical security assessment includes not only network assessment but also social engineering and physical security. In this course, the students will focus on learning about the major steps in this field: intelligence gathering, initial foothold, network enumeration, privilege escalation, persistence, lateral movement, password (hash) cracking, data exfiltration, and reporting. The students will learn social engineering aspects as well as how to evaluate networks from a perspective of offensive security. No knowledge of security is required.
