This course explains the science and art behind offensive security techniques used in penetration testing of networks and systems. A review of networking concepts is given. Students will utilize low-level programming through network interfaces, in executing a variety of network attacks, while learning to use essential auxiliary tooling for both recon and active attacks. An introduction to cryptogpahy for pentesters is provided. An understanding of python programming, C programming, and basic computer architecture is recommended. Programming experience is required. Familiarity with x86 Assembly (or some assembly language) is recommended. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder鈥檚 Masters of Science in Computer Science (MS-CS) degrees offered on the 糖心vlog官网观看 platform.
