Advanced Security In UNIX

Length: 32 hours (4days)

Overview:

It is a theoretical -practical course that intends to show with a high depth degree the most relevant security aspects in operative systems UNIX-type. The course is presented in two scenarios: the first one shows the attack techniques that could be used to infiltrate a server with this type of operative system, and the second one shows the correction and secure strategies that permit mitigate the IT security risks initially presented. It will be worked on Linux and Solaris.

Who should take this class:

• Server Administrators with UNIX operative systems.
• IT security officers that have UNIX within their networks.
• UNIX application programmers.
• Technical and/or Support staff for UNIX environments.

Prerequisites:

• Basic UNIX Knowledge (comma

nds, file system, users).
• Network and Communication Knowledge
• IT Security Basic course

What will you learn:

• Basic and advanced concepts of UNIX security
• Common attack techniques: back doors, exploits, buffer overflow
• Protocol, ports and services vulnerabilities
• Weaknesses associated to UNIX architecture
• Advanced attack techniques to the Operative system and applications (dns, mail, etc.)
• Users and permissions, monitoring and alerts setup
• UNIX Security parameters, attack detections
• UNIX Secure setup for operative system and applications
• Users management, passwords and permissions
• Third party tools use for the security management
• Commands and tools commonly used

About the Labs:

Each participant has a desktop assigned where as each topic is reviewed, he/she can review its associated aspects in Solaris and Linux platforms.

Special labs have been designed for the following topics:

• Common and advanced attack techniques
• Weaknesses associated to UNIX architecture
• Users and permissions, use of critical files
• UNIX advanced security setup
• Commands and tools commonly used
