Overview
The module covers various techniques of network and application security analysis. Apart from the straightforward approach, when we try to achieve maximum security of our system, we will take an opposite route: learn how security problems can be identified and used by motivated people. During this course we will learn how to find and exploit common vulnerabilities, how model risks of networked applications work and use it to plan and prioritise our countermeasures. This course is very practice-oriented, all assignments are based on real-life scenarios, and all the techniques discussed may be used not only for security analysis, but to deal with many other problems.
