NETWORK SECURITY MONITORING AND BOTNET DETECTION TRAINING

Botnets are a serious threat.But how do we identify them, and how do we know if our systems are compromised? Are our IDS/IPS, web proxy, firewall, etc, detecting and blocking these threats? Are the latest web drive-by attacks penetrating the infrastructure security? This course will help network and system administrators to implement mechanisms that will help to ensure that malicious İnternet activity, especially botnets, are detected through effective network monitoring and analysis.

To understand these threats and learn techniques to track botnets, students will conduct hands-on exercises using our proprietary VMware lab consisting of 11 VMware images to create and investigate botnets from both a host and network perspective.

Students will set-up and analyze network flow analysis systems using the popular tools nfsen, nfdump, and Scrutinizer. Students will also learn how to make effective use of IDS technologies using the snort and Bro IDS platforms for botnet identification. Students will also learn critical host-based monitoring techniques on Windows and Linux systems and learn why host-based monitoring alone is not necessarily sufficient. Basic client and server-side honeypot malware collection and basic malware analysis techniques for botnet identification will also be covered.
