Let’s build a foundation in cyber security with a strong focus on networking, privacy and anonymity, malware, email security, backups and encryption, and Windows 10 Hardening.
The course begins with an overview of the networking basics, including TCP/IP and DNS. With the networking basics mastered, you will learn about privacy and anonymity, how advertisers and websites track you online, and how to prevent it. You will then move on to more advanced topics such as anonymizers, working with proxy servers, and setting up/configuring a VPN. Explore Tor to access the dark web and learn about malware, viruses, rootkits, and ransomware and how this malware affects you and various anti-malware software.
Then, learn about backups and encryption, cloud backups, and use this to back up and encrypt your hard drive and sensitive files. Look at exciting aspects of cybersecurity, social engineering, the tactics used to extract vital information, and how hackers exploit human psychology to dupe their targets. Explore email security and track emails and use mail services such as Guerrilla and Proton. Finally, learn to harden the Windows 10 OS against malware and make it secure.
Upon completion, you will have acquired vast knowledge about cyber security and how to implement it in your daily work and lives for better cyber safety.
