Cybersecurity Bootcamp

• OSI Model and TCP/IP Model
• Hubs, switches, and routers
• Perform Subnetting
• Cisco IOS and Router Configs/ACLs
• Firewall Use and Placement
• Server/Client Relationships
• Common Network Services and Ports

• Internet Routing Protocols
• Network Protections and Security Models
• Virtual Private Networks
• Wireshark Proficiency
• TCP and UDP Header Analysis
• Wireshark Filters and Data Carving

The Networking Foundations module will cover the theory and practical application of how computers communicate. We will cover the OSI model, routing and switching technology, as well as network security models, and important network services. The module will also take an in-depth look at subnetting. Finally, the module will cover how to capture and analyze network traffic with Wireshark.

• Software Development Lifecycle
• Software Security Models
• Common Languages and Uses

• Interpreted vs Compiled Languages
• Sequential Statements, Branching, Looping
• HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python basics

The Programming Literacy module will give students a general understanding of how software gets developed, and some of the common mistakes that get made along the way. It will cover the Software Development Lifecycle, software security best practices, and the different types of programming languages that students might encounter. Lastly, students will gain familiarity with basic web development technologies, including HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

• Kali Linux Platform
• Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)
• Passive Enumeration using OSINT techniques
• Active enumeration using nMap
• Identify and Categorize Exploits
• Identifying System Vulnerabilities
• Common Misconfigurations

• Proficiency with Metasploit Framework
• Hashing Algorithms and PW 'Cracking'
• Common Post-exfiltration Activities
• OWASP Top Vulnerabilitie
• SQL Injection Attacks
• Social Engineering Techniques
• Burp Suite, Nikto, ZAP Enumeration Tools

The Offensive Security module covers the "red team" offensive tactics and strategies employed by ethical hackers and penetration testers. Students will take a hands-on lab approach to computer exploitation methodology, learning how to think outside the box to gain access to remote systems. To successfully defend against attacks, it's important to be able to understand and think like an attacker, so students will learn the tools and techniques needed to search for and report on vulnerabilities in secure environments.

• Importance of 2FA and secure cryptograph
• Understand firewalls, IDS's, SIEM's
• Proficiency with Splunk
• Analyze malicious traffic in Wireshark
• The zero trust security model
• 6 steps to incident response
• Forensics with memory and disk capture tools
• behavior analysis of malware samples

• Harden systems using CIS benchmarks
• Vulnerability scans using Nessus
• Group Policy Management
• Configuration Management and Patch Management
• Defence in Depth Principle
• NIST risk management and controls framework
• Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
• Vendor Risk Management
• Contractual, legal, and regulatory compliance

The Defensive Security, or "blue team" module will cover the defensive concepts and techniques that students will need to be successful in Cybersecurity careers. While entry level "red team" positions do exist, many junior Cybersecurity roles will require a more defensive focus. We will cover secure cryptography, access control models, the threat landscape, network monitoring with Splunk, incident response and forensics methodologies, vulnerability scanning with Nessus, risk and threat assessment, and regulatory compliance auditing.

• Understand concepts and techniques covered by the exam
• Understand test taking strategies and best practices
• Demonstrate preparedness by completing practice tests
• Exam voucher (plus retake) included at no extra cost

The CompTIA Security+ certification is the first and most important accolade rising Cybersecurity professionals should earn. Certifications tend to be more important in some industries than in others, and there's no doubt that most Cybersecurity employers like seeing them on incoming resumes. Other programs often claim to "align" their curriculum with industry certifications, but DigitalCrafts is unique in dedicating two weeks towards test preparation, leveraging official CompTIA study materials, labs, and practice tests available to CompTIA Training Partners. Each student will receive a test voucher (with one retake), and you can expect to graduate with the exam on your calendar.
