This lab manual is suitable to accompany any security textbook; an appendix maps the labs specifically for easy use with McGraw-Hill textbooks. This lab manual is organized in four sections, each corresponding to a key question associated with networks and computer security. These questions act as a structured framework designed to build upon each previous section to develop a hands-on understanding of computer security principles. The four sections and questions are: 1. How does the network work? 2. How is the network vulnerable and what are the threats? 3. How do we prevent harm to the network? 4. How do we detect and respond to attacks on the network? Most lab exercises have suggestions for further study. In addition, the appendix has a project related to each section that can serve as a culminating activity. These projects are designed to integrate the concepts and tools covered in that section. Flexibility. There is flexibility in regards to equipment and setup, as both Windows and Linux environments are addressed. There is also flexibility in regards to equipment quantity, as both stand alone networks and virtual networks can be employed.
