Squid Advanced Topics: * Advanced Content Filtering - plugins * URL Blocking - porn/racism/offensive content * Fine Grained ACLs - users and groups * Delay Pools * Authentication Sources * Advanced Authentication Techniques - native Squid-based authentication, filtering and plugins * Advanced proxying using Squid * Performance tuning View the Syllabus in detail Iptables - Firewall Iptables is a linux package for managing IPv4 (and optionally IPv6) packet filtering and NAT (Network Address Translation). Iptables can be configured to function as a firewall, a NAT mechanism, a packet filter or all 3 at once. The diversity of capabilities possible with iptables makes it a secure, stable and economical alterative to hardware based firewalls and routers or costly 3rd party firewall software. Iptables can also serve as a rendundant firewall in conjunction with a hardware firewall, providing you with an extra layer of security. View the Syllabus in detail Implement Samba as a Domain Controller Samba is the de-facto UNIX/Linux-based software for seamlessly integrating UNIX/Linux environments with MS Windows networks via Samba's implementation of the SMB protocol suite. Samba allows your UNIX/Linux system to emulate a Windows workstation/server in the network neighborhood/my network places browse list. Consequently, your UNIX/Linux-based system appears to be a Windows-based system featuring file & print shares. Additionally, Samba adds many features not included with stock MS Windows systems. View the Syllabus in detail NIDS using Snort This Course is for those who want to learn how to build a Snort IDS/IPS from scratch using many of the open source tools and plug-ins available to help manage, tune and deliver feedback on suspicious activity in your networks. Hands-on labs with fully documented instructions help students construct solid, secure Snort installations and understand the inner workings of the premier open source IDS/IPS available today. Students will also learn how to fine tune and configure Snort in addition to creating custom rules and learning techniques for optimizing rules. View the Syllabus in detail Virtual Private Network using OpenVPN OpenVPN is an Open Source, full-featured, SSL VPN solution that accommodates remote access, site-to-site VPN's, and Wi-Fi security. It provides fine-grained access control, support for smart card and 2-factor authentication, load balancing, fail over, and a host of other features found in expensive, high-end hardware. Furthermore, OpenVPN clients are supported under most major operating systems. Our OpenVPN training teaches VPN administrators how to design, implement, manage, and maintain enterprise VPN solutions using OpenVPN. View the Syllabus in detail Clustering: Building High Performance Linux Clusters Linux clustering is popular in many industries these days. With the advent of clustering technology and the growing acceptance of open source software, supercomputers can now be created for a fraction of the cost of traditional high-performance machines. High Performance Computing (HPC) has become easier, and two reasons are the adoption of open source software concepts and the introduction and refinement of clustering technology. This course also discusses parallel programming using MPI and gives an overview of cluster management and benchmarking. It also shows you how to set up a Linux cluster using OSCAR, an open source project for setting up robust clusters. View the Syllabus in detail Network Monitoring using MRTG Network monitoring, review of SNMP. What MRTG does do, what MRTG doesn't do, MRTG architecture, MRTG components. Hands on: configuring SNMP support on network devices, configuring extended SNMP support on Windows. - Installing MRTG - MRTG tasks - MRTG graphs - Using MRTG - RRDTOOL View the Syllabus in detail System Monitoring using Nagios Nagios is an enterprise-class host, service, and network monitoring application. Using a complex system of plugins, Nagios is able to monitor a wide range of different services, hosts, and networks to provide notifications, alerts, and status updates to administrators. Our Nagios training teaches you how to deploy, manage, and maintain Nagios within your enterprise. From basic deployments of Nagios, to the most complex, our Nagios training courses provide in-depth coverage of important topics, with how-to like documentation. This module covering important topics, and even using examples and exercises that allow you to implement monitoring of your services quickly and effectively View the Syllabus in detail Directory Service Integration using OpenLDAP OpenLDAP provides a lightweight, central information directory service for countless applications, including general user authentication services. This results in reduced administrative overhead. OpenLDAP also supports replication and encryption, promoting high-availability and security. Furthermore, knowledge of OpenLDAP prepares you to work comfortably with Open Source and commercial LDAP variants. View the Syllabus in detail Nmap / Nessus Nessus Security Scanner (http://www.nessus.org) for example, is one of the highest rated security/vulnerability scanners as rated by a Network Computing article. It relies heavily on Nmap to perform port scanning. Nmap is Enumeration Tools (Network Scanners). Nmap and Nessus have different types of scanning philosophies and understanding how they work can help you achieve success with your network scanning efforts. The Nessus server includes its own portscanning, service fingerprinting and operating system identification techniques that are similar but independent from Nmap’s. However, you may run into a situation where Nmap was run first and you already have the output from this tool and want to apply the results to your vulnerability scan Configuring Nessus to run batch mode scans based on Nmap results View the Syllabus in detail QMAIL MTA Implementation with Virtual Hosting Environment Linux/UNIX systems are responsible for moving the overwhelming majority of electronic mail across private and public networks. Consequently, savvy Systems Admins. are expected to have a solid foundation in MTAs and ancillary components for general and automated mail-based applications. Students will be shown live demonstration of implementing Qmail as a Corporate Mail Server. Qmail will be taught using sandwich pattern with Qmail-Scanner, SpamAssassin and ClamAV View the Syllabus in detail Postfix Mail Server The course is designed to provide the information needed to set up a Postfix Mail Server, administration covering integration with MySQL database and security based applications. The course addresses the advanced configuration of Postfix mail server. The modular design is described with a focus on how mail is transported within Postfix. SMTP Restrictions will be covered to reduce the amount of SPAM on your mail server. Demonstration of controlling SPAM including client detection rules, forged addresses, non-routable networks, blackholes, and address sender verification. Comparision of Cyrus-Imap and Dovecot. Configuration of web based email using SquirrelMail. Implementing Postfix to host multiple domains. View the Syllabus in detail Tomcat with Apache This course is intended for staff who'll be responsible for the installation, support and maintenance of Web applications written in Java. The course starts with a brief review of the stucture of Java, including the Java Runtime Environment, and a brief review of HTML before leading on to the main topics. Tomcat is Open Source. It provides a container for the deployment of Java based Web applications and can function both as a web server in its own right, and in conjunction with other servers such as Apache and IIS. We start the Tomcat section of this course by overviewing Tomcat, and then move on to sourcing installing and testing it. Tomcat is highly configurable at a variety of levels, and we'll study the deploying of Web Applications through their own directories, through .war files, and through the overall Tomcat configuration files. View the Syllabus in detail Asterisk - VOIP The goal of this course is to familiarize students with Asterisk and the environment in which it operates, both in terms of operating system and telephony (traditional and IP) connections — and to acquaint participants with the installation, configuration and basic operation of Asterisk. This course will take students (who do not need to have previous experience with Linux, telephony or Asterisk) from a freshly installed Linux PC through to a fully configured and working Asterisk implementation. The emphasis is on the practical implementation, and not necessarily a detailed understanding of every element of an Asterisk deployment or the detailed workings of the underlying technologies involved — this can be obtained, if desired, subsequent to the course by further research.
