This course introduces an array of architectures available for implementing secure extranets. The basis of this course is derived from 14 years of external connectivity experience from a large aerospace defense contractor that has always been required to maintain a high degree of security over its access-controlled intranet, while providing for partner connections. Phil is a superb teacher with a huge wealth of experience. The 'gotchas' alone will save months of duplication of effort. Perimeters inevitably disturb network traffic.
Misconfigured firewalls can be the perfect security filter where nothing gets in or out.
Students who are diligent and apply themselves to learn this material will be equipped to troubleshoot firewalls and VPNs with free tools like tcpdump for UNIX and Windump for Windows. Throughout the class, key concepts are illustrated with tcpdump network traces. This course has been cancelled. Credits See FRI-7 for course description.
