The ENSA program is designed to provide fundamental skills needed to analyze the internal and external security threats against a network, and to develop security policies that will protect an organization's information. NA CY 6042C Network and Packet Analysis This course teaches the student the fundamental concepts, methodologies, and tools necessary to analyze network traffic for the purposes of intrusion and threat detection, network defense, and low profile offensive operations. The hands on course begins with discussing the role of network packet analysis in computer network operations (CNO). After a detailed discussion of the TCP/IP protocol suite and ethernet network operations, the student practices using the command line tools tcpdump and tshark to capture and analyze self generated network traffic. Students then are asked to examine actual packet captures which illustrate various exploits, network reconnaissance techniques, and more advanced network attacks. The course concludes with an extensive real world exercise in which the student must utilize all of the concepts and tools learned in class to analyze and fully characterize the various network threats and breaches. 4 days CompTIA Network+, working knowledge of TCP/IP fundamentals, or equivalent experience is required. CCNA is recommended but not required. Students should have at least one year of work experience with TCP/IP networks. Students should have experience with the Linux command line and basic Linux command line functions. $ 2, CY 6043C Network Defense This hands on class will empower students to understand the basics of network defense and introduce them to the fundamental tools and techniques used.
