The Complete Cyber Security Course: Network Security!

About Course

Learn about cyber security and network security with this comprehensive course. This free course from Udemy will teach you everything you need to know to become a cyber security specialist. You will learn how to discover security vulnerabilities across an entire network, by using network hacking techniques and vulnerability scanning. You will also learn how to architect your network for maximum security and prevent local and remote attacks. This course covers the use of custom router firmware to provide you with better network security services, as well as the various types of firewalls that are available and what threats each help mitigate. You will also learn about wireless security, the configurations that are required for maximum security and why, how Wi-Fi is hacked and how to mitigate those attacks. You will master network monitoring to discover and identify potential hackers, malware and other adversaries that might be lurking on your network. This course will teach you how to use tools like Wireshark, Tcpdump and Syslog. This course also covers the details of how we are tracked online by corporations, nation-states your ISP and others. You will understand the techniques used like zombie super cookies, browser fingerprinting and how browser profiling works so third parties can establish who you are online. You will also learn about search engine privacy – and how to mitigate the tracking and privacy issues of search engines and their associated services. The course covers browser security – one of the largest risks online – and how to best reduce the attack surface of the browser and harden it for maximum security and privacy. Finally, you will fully understand how to best use methods of authentication including passwords and multi-factor authentication – soft tokens and hard tokens. This course will teach you the best password managers to use and why, how passwords are cracked, and how to mitigate the cracking. This is volume 2 of 4 of your complete guide to cyber security, privacy and anonymity.
