Computer Security

This course was a very good lesson for end-users. As apparent with PDP5075's review, system administrators are already aware of the risk and threats and take action to prevent attack as a matter of course. If the end-user can be educated to become aware of the threats and solutions then we as system administrators and the IT vendors will reap untold benefits from such endeavors.

Security Network Configurations

There are a few things to keep in mind when configuring your network boundaries (e.g., packet filtering routers and firewalls).

Sites should ensure that they carefully design their network topology so that effective traffic boundaries exist between systems that offer distinct levels of service. For instance, a site typically has an anonymous FTP service, web service, and an incoming electronic mail hub. The site uses good security practice by separating the machines that provide these external services from those that perform internal services. It is important to have strong network boundaries (preferably using firewalls) between these two sets of machines. In this way, even if an FTP server is vulnerable internal machines can be protected at the intervening network boundary.

For example, sites that have an FTP server that allows the PORT command to establish connections to third-party machines should block traffic between the FTP server and machines that offer services relying on hostname or IP address for authentication. Examples of such services are rlogin, rsh and NFS. While a firewall or filtering router should always prevent direct external access to such services, it should also filter traffic from an internal FTP server that behaves in this way. This prevents the FTP server being used as a relay machine to attack protocols with weak authentication mechanisms based on hostname or IP address.

Practical, comprehensive and easy to understand

If you work from a computer connected to the internet and are concerned with the security of your connection and/or the integrity of your equipment, this class is for you.

Covers all the basics with no geek speak. Also gives a few really good/free resources for maintaining the security of your system and integrity of your data.

Solid education on basic digital security.
