SNS S583 Crafting Packets
 
Course Description
This course focuses on low level network packet creation and manipulation to understand how network protocols operate and how attackers exploit protocol behavior. Learners gain deep insight into packet structure transmission and interpretation across networks, enabling advanced analysis of reconnaissance evasion exploitation and detection techniques. The course emphasizes practical experimentation to strengthen both offensive testing and defensive tuning capabilities.
 
Participants develop the ability to manually construct and analyze packets to observe how network devices security controls and applications respond to unexpected or malformed traffic. The curriculum bridges protocol theory with hands on application to improve troubleshooting investigation and security validation skills.
