  • how to use vulnerability scanner and exploit common vulnerabilities, perform online and offline password attacks,
  • how to analyze working and non-working operation systems,
  • what are the artifacts that can be examined and how digital forensic evidence can be sought,
  • common errors in programming that lead to security vulnerabilities
  • the importance of proper software design to maintain integrity and immunity to security attacks

Have the ability to:
