Description
When it comes to open-source, the sky is the limit! In a nutshell, you learn networking and network defense in one go using only open source tools. You will build up a secure network from scratch, entirely on Linux, from switches to endpoints, clustered firewalls, servers incl. Network Access Control, shortly NAC server, are all built on a flavor of Linux OS such as openSUSE, AlpineLinux, Debian, Ubuntu, etc., or a Unix-like OS such as FreeBSD.We do not care much about vendors and logos, but practical concepts. For example, TCP/IP, networking fundamental concepts, and core network security principles using open-source, yet industry-proven products.We aim to teach you how standard networking concepts are "designed" and are also "applied" in work environments. Why a pure Linux-based network? well, besides the fact that Linux runs the world, if you learn the secure networking using Linux, Unix, and open-source tools, you will feel pretty confident when it comes to their commercial equivalents. For example, if you learn network firewalling using iptables and nftables, you won't have any issues with Cisco FirePower, FortiGate, or Juniper firewalls. As said, we are not into vendors, we are interested in standardized theoretical concepts and practical technics. This method will give you a firm conceptual understanding of underlying technologies and ideas about how finished products like Cisco switches, Fortigate Firewalls, Cisco ISE NAC, HPE Aruba Clearpass, and so on, actually work behind the scene.In the end, you will run the most common network attacks against the network you built up yourself.Your Learning Key-Terms:VirtualizationGNS3 Lab (with Hyper-V & VirtualBox Integration)TCP/IPOSI ModelNetwork TopologiesIP SubnettingVLANTraffic TaggingTrunkingNIC TeamingLAGG (Link Aggregation)MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation)Bond Modes: Active-Backup, 802.3ad (LACP)BridgingSpanning TreeInter-VLAN RoutingRouting & ARP TablesMAC FloodIEEE 802.1X & MAB (MAC Address Bypass)Network Access Control (NAC)PacketFence (Open Source NAC)Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) (EAPoL)RADIUS (FreeRADIUS)Linux Open Source NetworkingNvidia Cumulus Linux SwitchopenSUSE LinuxUbuntu LinuxAlpine LinuxFreeBSD (for pfSense & TrueNAS)Open Source Storage (FreeNAS)Linux Shell Command LineFirewallsNetfilter FrameworkPacket FilteringiptablesnftablesPacket SniffingWireshark, TShark, Termshark, and TCPDumpLinux ClusteringkeepalivedConnTrackVirtual Private Network (VPN)OpenVPNstrongSwan IPSec (swanctl)pfSense Firewall (FreeBSD)pfSense ClusterNext-Gen FirewallDemilitarized Zone (DMZ)Ethical Hacking Network Attacks and TechnicsSSH/Telnet/SMB/ BruteForce AttackMITM with Mac Spoofing AttackMITM with DHCP Spoofing AttackDOS Attack (POD, SYNFLOOD, BPDUs, CDP)VLAN Hopping Attack (Yersinia)STP AttackContent Addressable Memory (CAM) Table Overflows AttackARP spoofing, ARP cache poisoning attackNetwork Hardening Solutions
