modules

Even if systems have been developed with security in mind, their security needs to be assessed regularly, as, e.g., new attacks might be developed. Thus, assessing and validating the security of systems, e.g., penetration testing is an important part of cyber security. In this module you will learn the theory and practice of assessing the security of systems and applications both using manual techniques as well as automated approaches. The module focuses on offensive security that might be used by “red teams.”
