Learn how hackers attack computers and networks, and how to protect Windows and Linux systems. Legal restrictions and ethical guidelines will be taught and enforced. Students will perform many hands-on labs, both attacking and defending, using port scans, footprinting, buffer overflow exploits, SQL injection, privilege escalation, Trojans, and backdoors.

Wilson/Simpson/Antill's HANDS-ON ETHICAL HACKING AND NETWORK DEFENSE, 4th edition, equips you with the knowledge and skills to protect networks using the tools and techniques of an ethical hacker. The authors explore the concept of ethical hacking and its practitioners -- explaining their importance in protecting corporate and government data -- and then deliver an in-depth guide to performing security testing. Thoroughly updated, the text covers new security resources, emerging vulnerabilities and innovative methods to protect networks, mobile security considerations, computer crime laws and penalties for illegal computer hacking.
Nicholas D. Antill is a seasoned information security professional with over 10 years of specialized cybersecurity experience. Nicholas specializes in penetration testing, proactive security controls, and network defense. He holds many industry certifications, including the OSCP, GWAPT, GPEN, GCIH, CISA, CISSP, and GCFE. Nicholas currently manages the ethical hacking program at a large U.S. financial institution. He started his career at a small grocery chain in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he developed a fascination with network attack and defense techniques. He worked in support of both the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Defense before returning to the private sector.
No prerequisites for COMPSCI and ECE graduate students; however, knowledge equivalent to the undergraduate pre-requisites listed above is expected of any student graduate enrolled.
All participating students are expected to have a very good and detailed knowledge of computer networking and the TCP/IP protocol stack and some level of knowledge in socket programming.
This course trains students to detect and analyze weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems as a method of assessing the security of a system. Such techniques have various names, including penetration testing and ethical hacking. We focus on tools and techniques that an attacker would employ but from the perspective of an ethical system administrator. Broad topics include: tools and techniques for penetration testing and attacks, information gathering, social engineering, and defenses. Specific topics include malware, denial-of-service attacks, man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, SQL injection, buffer overflow, session hijacking, and system hacking, network sniffing and scans, wireless encryption weaknesses and other Wi-Fi issues, IDS/Firewall evasion, Metasploit tools, physical security, and setting up honeypots.
Assignments will include practical experience setting up defenses and launching attacks on real systems. The systems will be on a private network -- students in the class cannot attack systems owned by others. The class and its assignments may involve group work. There will also be readings and in-(virtual) class discussions, and written assignments will include creating write-ups of attacks and defenses performed on systems. Students will also participate in a lively class discussion. Students will be asked to express an opinion on many topics and challenge the instructor's views and analyses.
The class is conducted through UMass' Blackboard site. All homework and supporting materials are available on Blackboard as well. There are weekly lecture sessions during which students can participate.
In addition to assignments, there will be a semester-long project, the topic of which should be chosen and selected by student. Depending on the availability of time, students might be required to make a short project presentation at the end of the semester.
We plan to invite guest speakers from practitioners of the field. Participation in these talks, either in person or virtually via Zoom, is mandatory. Students are asked to provide a short report of their understanding of the talk.
In this course, students are required to complete number of labs experiments. The labs are in a virtual network environment. Additionally, students are asked to propose and work on a project of their own which they should complete by the end of the semester.
There will be a time-limited lab that students complete as their final exam. It is expected that students take the final exam/lab in a room which we reserve for this purpose. However, if a student, because of logistical reasons, cannot be in the reserved room, we will provide the student means to take the final remotely, at a limited time.
A tentative list of labs is provided below. Please note that this list may change in the course of the class. For each attack or strategy listed below, the corresponding defense will also be covered. Each week's topic and possible assignment follows.
1 Learning the Environment. Windows and Unix systems overview.
Possible assignments: Allocating, installing, and launching virtual machines on a personal system and in a private cloud. Starting, configuring, and stopping services. Installing patches. Recovering from backup. Learning Kali-Linux.
2 Network Reconnaissance. Using search engines and social networking sites, WHOIS and DNS records. Port scans. Network mapping, system identification (Nmap).
Possible assignments: Running network scanners and reconnaissance tools. Using Recon-NG. Using Shodan. Other tools: DMitry, Sparta, Netdiscover, Zenmap.
