This set of labs aligns with the domains of the CompTIA Security+ certification. The learner explores aspects of Network Security (secure remote access), host hardening (host-based firewalls, security policies on Windows and Linux), social engineering, exploits (remote access trojans, wireless), cryptography, traffic analysis, and incident response procedures.

      This set of labs maps to the domains of the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).  It employs an ethical hacking methodology to introduce the learner to various techniques and tools to include, but not limited to: reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, exploitation, and post-exploitation.

     This set of labs aligns with the domains of the CompTIA Network+, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), and Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) certification exams. The learner will manage and troubleshoot networks, work with various TCP/IP protocols, and implement Network Security measures (port redirection, firewalls, remote access).

      This set of labs introduces the student to the technical aspects of Digital Forensics, including general forensic processes, imaging, hashing, file recovery, file system basics, identifying mismatched file types, reporting, and laws regarding computer evidence.

This set of labs maps to the domains of the CompTIA Linux+ certification exam (XK0-004). It provides students with the fundamental concepts of Linux/UNIX operating systems. It covers such topics as installing the operating systems, working with a package, manager, displaying hardware and adding partitions, managing the filesystem, working with a shell (bash), monitoring processes, and creating/manipulating files.

This set of labs maps to the domains of the CompTIA Linux+ certification exam (XK0-004). It introduces the student to the fundamentals of system administration using Linux operating systems. Topics covered include: creating and managing groups and users, scheduling tasks, working with email, basic network configurations, hardening host techniques, and an introduction to shell scripting.

     This set of labs offers an in-depth introduction to scripting languages including basic data types, control structures, regular expressions, input/output, and textual analysis.

This set of labs maps to the domains of the Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS) exam (210-260). It focuses on the security principles needed to secure a network, including: secure remote access, virtual private networking (VPN), secure routing and switching, border and host firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and endpoint security.

     This set of labs exposes the learner to various Linux-based security tools and techniques: configuring a host-based firewall, analyzing log files, cracking passwords, exploiting vulnerabilities (Shellshock), scanning for vulnerabilities, and auditing/implementing file/group/user permissions.

      This set of labs covers all sides of security to give the student full understanding of not only the vulnerability, but also the consequences of exploitation. The labs will introduce Alice the admin/developer and Bob the hacker. Alice introduces vulnerabilities into the system and Bob exploits each one. The attacks are taken full circle. The labs are equipped with multiple mirrors, email server, DNS server. and web server.

     This set of labs aligns with the domains of the Cloudera certifications and prepares the students for managing a Hadoop cluster. The labs demonstrate many command options (awk, grep, etc.) and automation using Bash. The students will learn the evolution of Hadoop architecture, starting with Hadoop version 1 and ending with version 3. They also introduce other components of the Hadoop ecosystem such as ZooKeeper and includes tasks and solutions.

      This set of labs is also maps to the domains of the CompTIA A+ certifications exams: Core 1 (220-1001) and Core 2 (220-1002). It explores the fundamental principles of hardware and operating systems and prepares the learner for further study in IT-related work roles. Topics include: hardware, operating systems, networking, mobile devices, virtualization and Cloud Computing, security, troubleshooting hardware/software/networking problems, and operational procedures.

     This set of labs is designed to provide an introduction to and basic technical understanding of the functions and operations of various desktop, server, and mobile operating systems, and focuses on operating system features, broad concepts, and diagnostic tools that allow the learner to rapidly determine the condition of a system and how best to rectify a fault. This set of labs is also intended for those preparing for the CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) certification exam.
