Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

KI430 (P222-0041) Computer Science and Communication Systems, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2014 , semester 4, mandatory course
PIB423 (P221-0040, P610-0528) Applied Informatics, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 4, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 120 hours (equivalent to 4 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 75 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
KI260 Mathematics 2
KI320 Computer Networks

Lab:
IT-security lab (5103/2)
Learning outcomes:
After completing this course, students will be able to act as system administrators for networked Unix systems. They will understand how to configure and operate such systems reliably. They will be able to protect the network from random errors or from deliberate hostile attacks and be able to respond to critical system states.

Module content:
1. The UNIX philosophy
2. Files and inodes
3. Shells
4. Processes
5. User IDs
6. File systems
7. Bootstrapping
8. The operating system kernel
9. System messages
10. Network configuration
11. Status and statistics of the system state
12. Security aspects
13. System protection
14. Local security
15. Network security
 
In the problem-solving sessions, students will have the opportunity to modify the operating system, the network configuration and the user management system, as well as simulating local and network attacks. The configuration of typical security measures such as firewalls and virtual private networks will be studied both theoretically and in practice, and the capabilities and limits of currently available network tools discussed and examined.
