Students will build and secure a Linux virtual machine using virtualization technology. They will also create complex networks using Cisco Packet Tracer, implementing routing, NAT, port forwarding, DHCP, DNS, and packet sniffers. As well as troubleshooting and resolving complex network problems.
Students will design a relational database to contain customer data and security incidents and create queries to analyze the data. Then they will create a format a multiple page web site that includes graphics, video, and audio and a consistent theme with image maps, columns, tables, and animation. The web site will include forms for collecting user data and authenticating users.
