ISBN#: 9781785888427

Workbook(s) and/or Lab Manual:

J.	Course Description: One way to achieve sound defensive security is through an offensive mindset. This course introduces open source security tools with a focus on Kali Linux. Students will learn about open source security tools and how to exploit these technologies effectively–both offensively and defensively. A variety of open source tools will be demonstrated covering topics such as: Vulnerability Analysis, Wireless Attacks, Forensic Tools, Stress Testing, Sniffing & Spoofing, Hardware Hacking, and more. Through a series of progressively more difficult labs, students will utilize open source security tools to defend and attack both simulated and actual networks.
