3. Course module “Secure software development”

  • Ievgen Duravkin (course module leader)/ KHNURE, Ukraine
  • Tomasz Surmacz/ WrUT, Poland
  • Andrey Krasov/ SpB SUT, Russia
  • Alexander Lukyanov/ YSU, Russia

Purpose of the course
The purpose of the course is to teach students about the process of developing software which is secure, reliable and easy to maintain. The whole System/Software Development Life Cycle process will be described in detail with special attention given to security issues of software development process. Common programming errors and typical vulnerabilities will be discussed as well as testing techniques. Highlevel approach will be also included,
focusing on various stages of SDLC, such as software specification, development, testing and maintenance. Labs accompanying the lectures will give students opportunity to test their newly gained knowledge in practice. The course is addressed to students who may become programmers/system developers in future, as well as those, who will not develop the software by themselves, but rather manage the process as team leaders or managers.

Relevance of the course
The computer software developed currently becomes more and more networked and accessible through different hardware platforms. The shift from a selfcontained programs to a clientserver model or a webbased queryresponse programming requires even more strict standards for proper programming techniques to maintain the required level of reliability and security of the final result. This applies not only to software related to security issues, but also to commonly used applications. Inadequate programmer experience or lack of foresight in some seemingly unrelated simple functions may have major consequences to the overall system security by making the application vulnerable to various kinds of network attacks and exploit scripts.

4. Course module “Malware”

  • Alexander Adamov (course module leader)/ KHNURE, Ukraine
  • Anders Carlsson/ BTH Sweden
  • Volodymyr Obrizan/ KHNURE, Ukraine
  • Dmitry Komashinskiy/ SPIIRAS, Russia
  • Katja-Verena Koenncke/ BKA, Germany

Purpose of the course
The purpose of the course is to provide knowledge in malware analysis for Windows, Android and iOS platforms. The students will obtain practical skills in reverse engineering as well, as in static and dynamic analysis of malicious applications designed for both: ARM and x86 architectures.

Relevance of the course
The course is aimed to provide students with the skills of real-world threats analysis as the majority of modern cyber attacks are performed using malware or, so called, “cyber weapon”. Nowadays, an analysis of such threats requires a special type of education, practically oriented in malware and antivirus technologies.

5. Course module “Web security”

  • Victor Petrikin (course module leader)/ KSTU, Russia
  • Yuriy Lakh/ LPU, Ukraine
  • Farit Muzipov/ PEIS, Russia
  • Iryna Sokolianska/ BTH, Sweden
  • Ivgeniia Kuzminykh/ KhNure, Ukraine

Purpose of the course

The purpose of the course is to provide knowledge in Web security. The students will obtain practical skills in architecture of web applications protocols, vulnerability databasessecurity aspects of PHP, JavaScripts, SQL languages, web authentication mechanisms and techniques for authentication bypass, attacks modeling and risks evaluation, IDS and IPS systems.

Relevance of the course
Modern web-resources have become an integral part of the information assets of the absolute majority of today’s organizations, regardless of what they do. Web applications more other assets susceptible to security threats because available from the Internet at the same time users and hackers. The relevance of protecting Web applications only growing because develop and improve methods and techniques for hacking attacks. Ensuring an adequate level of protection of web-based systems requires highly skilled developers in the field of information security.

6. Course module “Pentest and ethical hacking”

  • Alexander Dorofeev (course module leader)/ TCE, Russia
  • Anders Carlsson/ BTH, Sweden
  • Andrian Piskozub/ LPU, Ukraine

Purpose of the course
Ethical hacking or penetration testing is a process of attempting to penetrate a computer system or network on behalf of its owners for the purpose of finding security vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could potentially exploit.
This course should go in-depth into the techniques used by malicious, black hat hackers with attention getting lectures and hands-on lab exercises. While these hacking skills can be used for malicious purposes, this class should teach students how to use the same hacking techniques and tools to perform an ethical hacking for any organization.
The purpose of this course is to help students master a repeatable, documentable penetration testing methodology that can be used in an ethical penetration testing

 

7. Course module “Digital forensic”

  • Anders Carlsson (course module leader)/BTH, Sweden
  • Andrey Chechulin (course module leader)/ SPIIRAS, Russia

  • Victor Völzow/ Policeacademie Hessen, Germany
  • Dr. Martin Mink/ Policeacademie Hessen, Germany

Purpose of the course
The purpose of the course is to provide knowledge in digital forensic. The students will obtain practical skills in general evidence collection process and forensic tools usage. Also, during this course the students will apply and enhance their knowledge of the operation systems, network interactions, hardware, etc.

Relevance of the course
The course is aimed to provide students with the skills of real-world cases investigation by various aspects of digital forensic. Nowadays an analysis of such cases requires a special knowledge in both theoretical and practical areas of operation systems architecture, security software, network services, hardware analysis, etc. The presence of such kind of experience will help the students in their future life not only if they work in digital forensic area, but for preventing the traces from unpremeditated damage for their further analysis by forensic specialists.

  • Vida Ahmadi/ BTH, Sweden

Purpose of the remote lab

The purpose of the remote laboratory give students posibilitys to experiment with insecure protocols, test vulnerable services and harmful software, e.g. viruses, in a safe and isolated environment. The remote lab also speed up the time for a teacher to develop a new set of “VM’s” and deploy and test the VM instantly. It also   provide knowledge in Cloud based operatingsystem like Open Stack.  During this remote lab the teachers and students have a remotely access tothe  laboratory thrue VNC, RDP or thrue a per student privat VPN connection.
