IMT2282 Operating systems

Forventet læringsutbytte

 The course will address the methodology of penetration testing, learning how penetration tests are constructed and experimenting with penetration testing tools in the laboratory. The course will look at vulnerabilities in software both at server and client side, with a high focus on network applications.

 The students should after the end of the course have a good overview of how an effective penetration test should take place and of the threats that exists towards software, networks, and network services. A deeper analysis and a set of practical exercises will be the foundation for a deeper understanding into some specific security vulnerabilities that exists.
