- in-depth knowledge about a limited number of attacks and how to prevent them
- general knowledge about the different types of attacks and how to prevent them
Learning objectives - Skills
Having completed the course the successful student will be able to:
- plan and execute penetration tests on various systems
- prevent or mitigate the effects of attacks on the vulnerabilities revealed from penetration testing
Learning objectives - Competences
Having completed the course the successful student will be able to

Content
The purpose of this course is to give the student a general understanding of security as well as an in-depth understanding of the tools for evaluating security. The topics range from general methods for analysing and managing security over penetration testing of networks to security for embedded objects like cell phones or robots.
The principle of the course is to give the full treatment in a few examples rather than trying to cover this enormous field in its entirety. During the course the students will work practically with different attacks on a cluster of compromised machines. The students will complete an individual project demonstrating the skills achieved throughout the course. The oral exam consists of a presentation of the project followed by questions about the curriculum to demonstrate competencies and knowledge respectively.
