Internet Security for Beginners

Offered by Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel

Welcome to week 4

Dear course participants,

Welcome to the fourth week of our online course "Internet Security for Beginners". In this week, we will explain how data is transmitted in the Internet and why Wi-Fi networks are especially exposed to attacks. Furthermore, we will discuss various attack techniques, such as eavesdropping, spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks. Besides this, we also talk about more concrete attack approaches and corresponding protective measures. Additionally, an excursion will take a close look to so-called Advanced Persistent Threats.
