It steps through the practical process of defending networking resources. It also reveals various case studies, large and small, to familiarize the techniques that attackers use. An Internet Testbed is facilitated for students to experiment attacks and defenses.
Operating system design and implementation using the specifics of current operating systems. The course covers file, process, memory and Input/Output management; multitasking, synchronization, and deadlocks; scheduling, and inter-process communication. Projects include team system's programming assignments to investigate the kernel interface, files, processes, and inter-process communication for a current operating system.
