Overview
Wireless technologies are ubiquitous in modern systems yet pose unique challenges. This technical course looks at the security issues of a broad range of wireless devices from wireless computers, mobile phones and operational technologies. The course takes an in-depth look at the types of different protocols, technologies, contextual considerations as well as practical approaches to attack and defence.
Topics covered include:
- 802.11 Wi-Fi
- common attacks and defences for individual devices and IoT
- software defined radio
- Bluetooth, ZigBee, DECT and a library of other lab exercises individually tailored to the class.
This course assumes knowledge from Cyber Security Boot Camp. While this is a technical course, it's instructor-led and designed so non-technical students can further understand how attacks are carried out and better comprehend defence techniques.
