This course provides an overview of the concepts and fundamentals of computer networks. Topics include an overview of network architectures and topologies, IP addressing and subnetting, congestion mechanism CSMA/CD, troubleshooting commands and methods, switching and routing devices and their related decisions, TCP/IP layers and their protocols (FTP, HTTP, SMTP, DNS, DHCP, UDP, TCP, IP, ICMP etc...), security measures and how to secure your network using Access Lists and Firewall.

Web applications are the front door to most organizations, exposing them to attacks that may disclose personal information, execute fraudulent transactions, or compromise ordinary users. This practical course has been completely updated and revised to discuss the latest step-by-step techniques for attacking and defending the range of ever-evolving web applications. You'll explore the various new technologies employed in web applications and review the latest attack techniques that have been developed, particularly in relation to the serverside.

Our course objectives are structured to cover three main areas: First, the students should understand the basic concepts of a simulator, second, they should understand how the TCP/IP protocol suite is modelled in OMNeT++ and third, they should understand how to analyse a TCP/IP based communication network. After the completion of exercises, the students are expected to have a sound knowledge of using OMNeT++ with the INET framework to analyse a communication network. Finally, the student will learn how to model different IoT networks in SimuLTE modeler.
