Instead of just defining what a firewall is, the course requires students to configure one. You will analyze packet captures using Wireshark to identify malicious traffic patterns. This module transitions the learner from "knowing" networking to "seeing" network attacks.

This is where the course separates itself from generic "hacking" tutorials. Students learn how to defend against the attacks they just learned to launch. This blue-team perspective is vital for anyone looking to land a Tier 1 Analyst job.
