About Network Security: Linux Iptables Firewall vs Attacks.
Learning doesn't have to be boring ! And even the most difficult technical issues can be presented in an interesting way. Let's move to outer space, and with the heroes of our story, let's learn the secrets of the
Iptables Firewall
, learn to configure the
VirtualBox
virtual environment for network testing purposes, get knowledge about
networks
and
protocols
from scratch
so that we can properly manage our firewall. Let's subject our firewall to a series of
network
attacks
,
scans
,
analyzes
using the
Nmap
,
nping
,
hping3
,
Wireshark
,
Dsniff
and other tools. Let's configure a firewall to prevent them. Together, we will discover the secrets of the attack on one of the AGRO planets and prevent a catastrophe. . . . Our main goal is to learn the Iptables Firewall, but in-depth knowledge of the subject requires knowledge of Networks, Network Devices, types of Network Attacks, and problems related to the functioning of the network. This knowledge was
also included in the course
. This course contains a number of
solutions that make it easier for you to learn
. Starting with
presenting solutions to problems
that you meet on your way during system configuration, through problems related to Nmap and Wireshark running on the same machine. Ending with the presentation of iptables commands. The commands in this course are additionally presented on the
COMMAND BAR
in a
very large magnification
so that you will never miss an error while reading them and copying them to your system. The course also includes many
useful tips
on the blue boards that appear throughout the course.
