Description

Objective:

The course objective is to provide a comprehensive level of technical concepts in computer network operations. Students develop technical competencies through the application of investigative skills and analytical knowledge to develop situational awareness within the digital networking environment.

Learning Outcomes:

  • analyze a Windows machine in order to gain and/or obtain situational awareness
  • triage a Windows machine to gather relevant information
  • prosecute the gathered information on a Windows machine to collect additional information and/or take action
  • analyze a UNIX machine in order to gain/obtain situational awareness
  • triage a UNIX machine to gather relevant information
  • prosecute the gathered information on a UNIX machine to collect additional information and/or take action
  • evaluate a network in order to troubleshoot problems/issues
  • perform packet capture analysis to identify anomalous issues
  • analyze on-machine network configuration to differentiate normal and abnormal behavior
  • remediate identified issues using data from a previous analysis
  • triage a machine to which access has been gained using exploitation through tunnels
  • configure forward and/or reverse tunnels and other redirection techniques to facilitate remote system access
  • analyze a machine for threats to operations, including endpoint security products and malware
