About this course
Cyber threats are growing more sophisticated every day, and organizations need layered defenses to detect, prevent, and manage attacks. Core technologies like Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), honeypots, and firewalls (FWs) form the backbone of modern network defense strategies. Understanding how these tools work—and how to configure and deploy them—is essential for any cybersecurity professional.
Honeypots, IDS, and Firewalls is a beginner-friendly yet practical course designed to teach you the fundamentals of perimeter security and intrusion detection. You’ll begin with IDS concepts and progress into hands-on learning with Snort, one of the most widely used intrusion detection platforms. From there, you’ll explore advanced IDS configurations and dive into honeypot technologies such as Honeydrive and Kippo SSH Honeypot—tools that allow defenders to lure, detect, and study attackers in controlled environments.
The course also covers the foundations of firewall technology, from basic configurations to advanced perimeter security strategies, before expanding into LAN security, DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC), and broader threat management techniques. Each module includes exercises that help you immediately apply what you’ve learned in practical, real-world scenarios.
By the end of this course, you will understand how to build multiple layers of defense using IDS, honeypots, and firewalls, as well as how to manage threats within enterprise and small business environments. These skills not only prepare you for entry-level cybersecurity roles but also lay the foundation for advanced certifications and specialized security positions.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
1. Explain the role of IDS, honeypots, and firewalls in network security.
2. Configure and analyze Snort IDS for intrusion detection.
3. Differentiate between basic and advanced IDS deployment strategies.
4. Set up honeypots using Honeydrive and Kippo SSH.
5. Describe firewall types, configurations, and best practices.
6. Implement advanced perimeter security techniques.
7. Apply LAN security principles to protect internal networks.
8. Use DNSSEC to strengthen domain security.
9. Integrate threat management strategies into security operations.
