- Synopsis:
-
The goal of the course is to introduce students to the field of penetration testing and ethical hacking. The course deals with cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and their possible exploitation in computer networks, web applications, wireless networks, operating systems, and others like the Internet of Things or cloud. The focus is on hands-on experience with vulnerabilities testing and the following process of penetration test documentation.
- Requirements:
-
Entry knowledge: OS Linux, web applications, database systems (SQL), basics of computer networks, and cryptography. It is an advantage to have the following courses completed or take them together with BIE-UOS, BIE-DBS, BIE-KAB, BIE-PSI and BIE-TWA.1
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. Introduction to penetration testing area.
2. Network traffic analysis and services discovery.
3. Vulnerability of network infrastructure.
4. Web applications - authentication and session management.
5. Web applications - code injection.
6. Web applications - scripting and request forgery.
7. Attacks on security of Wi-Fi systems.

- Study Objective:
-
Upon completion of the course, the students will:
* be introduced to (both theory and practice of) common computer and information security vulnerabilities in their interdisciplinary nature
* be able to perform basic penetration testing tasks (as defined by pentest-standard.org) using software tools and their own program code
* understand the broader context of cybersecurity (macro level), the wide range of related topics for further self-driven education and/or professional /academic specialization, and become savvier ICT users and developers (micro level)
* perceive ethical hacking as a 'problem-discovery' and 'problem-solving' tool (as opposed to 'problem-creating' tool)
