Welcome to SEC520 - Internet Security

What This Course is About

This subject explores issues surrounding web site construction, operation, and maintenance from a security point of view. Students will learn how to:

  • List basic rules regarding Internet Security.
  • Identify attack types from both internal and external sources.
  • Conduct safe authorized Penetration Testing (creating and using Virtual Machines).
  • Build secure servers from Penetration Testing Results ("hardened" servers).


Major topics will include document encryption, server protection, and defense strategies.

Demonstration web servers for both Windows and Unix/Linux will be investigated during this one semester course.

SATA Hard Disk in Removable Drive Tray

There are a few different methods of setting up for the SEC520 lab:
  1. Use removable SATA/SSD Removable Hard Disk (Kali Linux host, VMs for other vulnerable OS
  2. Setup VirtualBox on existing Notebook/Netbook, and create VMs for Kali Linux, vulnerable Windows (TBD) server, and vulnerable Linux server
  3. Full dedicated install on a Notebook/Netbook for Kali Linux, VMs to be installed for other vulnerable OS


Specification for SATA/SSD Hard Disk in Removable Drive Tray:

Hard Disk Size: at least 160GB (250 - 500 GB preferred).
Please buy the tray from ACS or the bookstore as not all trays are compatible.

Mechanical shock from dropping a hard drive causes drive failure for several students each semester. If you use a mechanical hard drive, be careful not to drop it, and transport it in a padded container (e.g., a neoprene netbook sleeve, available from some dollar stores).

Solid state disks (SSDs) are becoming competitive in price, are faster, and are less susceptible to shock, so you may want to look for a deal on an SSD instead of a hard drive -- but check to ensure that your SSD will fit properly into your drive tray.

Please tighten the drive screws securely to prevent the tray from jamming in the holder, or leave the screws off.

You are Playing With Fire!
"A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing". You MUST carefully read and follow instructions in your SEC520 labs as well as heeding warning from your SEC520 instructor. Failing to use caution when learning in this environment can cause damage to computer systems and cause your computer account(s) to be taken away.

Students will be required to "sign waivers" to promise to follow these rules carefully, and only perform certain operations in the computer lab indicated at the college.
