Security and Privacy

The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the conceptual and practical bases of Information Security and Privacy, placing a certain emphasis on the more implemented aspects of the discipline. The reference domain will be represented by the systems with particular emphasis on the Linux system and networks.

At the end of the course the student will be able to: evaluate the main vulnerabilities present in a given system; exploit some of these vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to information or systems; identifying the best countermeasures to be adopted in the face of the most common attacks, assessing the main threats to privacy deriving from the use of specific IT technologies, designing a computer security system for small realities.
