Requirements for Success:
:* '''All of the software used in this course is ''open source'' software, so you are free to use, modify, and redistribute it'''. This means that you can install it as many times as you want on as many different computers as you would like. It also means that you can tinker with it -- you can take it apart, see how it works, and put it back together in the same or a different way, limited only by your time and ambition. '''You are encouraged to experiment and question liberally'''.|}
:* '''The notes that you make during the labs and assignments are your reference material for the quizzes, tests, and assignments'''. Take really good notes, and if you have questions, experiment and consult with your professor.
:* '''Carefully read ALL lab instructions and check your work regularly'''. The labs have been designed with backup safeguards to prevent the student from losing their work. On the other hand, '''students may lose their work if they fail to follow lab instructions or accidentally forget their removable hard disks in the workstation's hard disk bay drive!'''

!SATA Hard Disk in Removable Drive Tray
|Hard Disk Size: at least '''160GB'''.<br />'''Please buy the tray from ACS or the bookstore''' as not all trays are compatible.<br /><br />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).<br /><br />Hard drives are currently expensive due to flooding in Thailand. 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.<br /><br />Please tighten the drive screws securely to prevent the tray from jamming in the holder, or leave the screws off.<br /><br />

{{Admon/important|If you get a message about the gnome-power-manager configuration at the login screen, you may have run out of disk space. Switch to a character-mode virtual terminal (for example, switch to VT2 by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2). Login and take a look at the available space (with the command: <code>df -h</code>). If the <code>/</code> filesystem is full, delete some files (such as unused VM images in <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images</code>) and then reboot the system.|}}

== What This Course is About ==
This subject explores issues surrounding '''web site construction''', '''operation''', and '''maintenance''' from a '''security point of view'''. Student 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 serversfrom 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.

{{Admon/caution|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'''.<br /><br />'''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'''.}} {{Admon/important|Share / Collaborate Problems and Solutions with Others (non-evaluation issues only)|Use the "lounge" section is Moodle to post concerns or solutions with other classmates regarding labs. The ability to collaborate with colleagues to solve problems instead of always asking your boss (or professor) is a very useful skill-set!}}{{Admon/important|Place your Full Name and Contact Information on the hard disk tray cover and directly on the disk drive.|Use an adhesive label and permanent marker, or a white marker on the black cover.}}<br /><br />
{{Admon/important|Always "double-check" that you have removabled your hard disk tray prior to exiting the lab room.|You may have your hard drive tray stolen which will result in lost work!}}
{{Admon/important|Do not share your OPS235 SEC520 disk drive with another course.|The work you do in this course will render your other work inaccessible and may erase it.}}
{{Admon/important|Earlier labs become the foundation for later labs.|Seemingly "small errors", or "skipping instructions" in earlier labs can have negative consequences when performing other dependent labs. Make backups when requested at the end of labs for "restoration points" in case something goes wrong while performing a lab.}}
{{Admon/important|Always shut down your system under software control, rather than using the reset or power buttons. You can shutdown using the GUI or with the <code>poweroff</code>, <code>reboot</code>, <code>init</code>, or <code>shutdown</code> commands. Shut down your virtual machines before shutting down your main system.|}}
