• 🐻 Phishing: Discover the tactics attackers use to trick users into giving up sensitive information.
• 🚀 DoS (Denial-of-Service) & DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service): Explore how to overload a system’s resources, rendering it unavailable for its intended use.
• 🠷 Malware: Uncover the different types of malware and their purposes.
• 🔄 Injection Attacks: Understand how data can be manipulated at its source to compromise systems.
• 🤪 Cross-site Scripting (XSS): Learn about exploiting web applications through client-side scripts.
• 🧬 Social Engineering: Delve into manipulating individuals into divulging confidential information.

Network and Application Security:

• ⚛️ OSI Model: Grasp the seven-layer framework for understanding network architecture.
• 🔫 TCP, UDP & HTTP: Learn about the communication protocols that underpin the internet.
• 🛡️ Web Application Firewall (WAF): Discover how to protect applications from web attacks.
• ☑️ OWASP: Explore the Open Web Application Security Project and its impact on application security.

Organizational and Design Concepts:

• 🔄 Defense in Depth (DiD): Understand the principle of layering defense mechanisms to protect assets.
• 👑 Least Privilege & Separation of Duties: Learn how to limit access rights to the bare minimum required for specific tasks.
• ✅ Fail Securely: Explore the concept of securing systems in a default state.

Cryptography:

• 🔫 Symmetric and Asymmetric Algorithms: Understand encryption methods and their applications.
• ⚗️ Keys & Hashing: Learn about cryptographic keys and data hashing techniques for secure communication and integrity checks.

Vulnerabilities, Threats, Exploits, and Threat Actors:

• 🕵️‍♂️ Understand the various types of vulnerabilities, threats, and exploits that cyber attackers use.

Identity and Access Management (IAM):

• 🔐 Protocols (SAML, OAuth): Dive into security assertion markup language and open authorization protocols.
• ⌫ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Explore the additional security layer that protects access to systems.

Digital Forensics:

• 🔎 NIST SP 800-86: Learn about the guidelines for computer security incident handling.

Attack Techniques and Methodologies:

• 📖 MITRE ATT&CK: Understand the matrix of tactics and techniques used by adversaries.
• 🔬 CEH Attack Methodology: Explore the methodology used in the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification.
