NT 325 System Administration ScriptingThis course provides an introduction to automating administrative tasks using scripts. Students will design and implement scripts of moderatecomplexity that automate administrative tasks such as the creation of user accounts, the administration of disk drive and printer, and themanagement of system services and event logs. Scripts may be written using languages such as: Bourne, C, and Korn shells and JScript,VBScript, and Perl. Topics include: tools and utilities; interactive command line programs; shell programming using constructs, variables,commands, and functions; and debugging processes. 4.00 credit hours Prerequisite: IS 103 Programming Logic.NT 341 Mail ServersThis course provides instruction in the implementation, administration, and troubleshooting of e-mail messaging systems. Topics include: thearchitecture and communication abilities of mail servers; installation of mail servers; backward integration and compatibility; client supportand configuration; real-time collaboration; foreign mail system connectors; SMTP and Internet-based client access; security techniques;performance monitoring; maintenance procedures; and troubleshooting issues. 4.00 credit hours. Prerequisites: IS 191 Linux Administration andNT 210 Directory Services Administration.NT 343 Computer and Network ForensicsThis course will provide the student with instruction in computer and network forensics. Computer and network forensics is simply the applicationof computer and network device investigation and analysis techniques in the interests of determining potential legal evidence. Evidencemight be sought in a wide range of computer crimes or misuse including, but not limited to, theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction ofintellectual property, and fraud. This may range from tracing the tracks of a hacker through a client’s system to tracing the originator ofdefamatory e-mails and recovering signs of fraud. Topics covered in this course will include an overview of the field including componentsof PCs, information storage and retrieval, varieties of computer-related crimes, and securing and analyzing electronic evidence. 4.00 credithours. Prerequisite: IS 282 Network Security.NT 350 Designing Network InfrastructureThis course provides instruction in analyzing business requirements for network infrastructures and designing network infrastructures that meetbusiness requirements. Topics include: analyzing business requirements; analyzing technical requirements; designing network infrastructures;Internet connectivity solutions; wide-area network infrastructures; and designing management and implementation strategies for networking.4.00 credit hours. Prerequisite: NT 200 Network Infrastructure Administration.NT 353 Network DefenseThis class will immerse the student into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to scan, test, hack, and secure their own systems.The lab-intensive environment gives each student in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems.Students will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be led into scanning and attacking their own networks; no realnetwork is harmed. Students then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. Students will alsolearn about intrusion detection, policy creation, social engineering, open-source intelligence, incident handling and log interpretation. 4.00credit hours. Prerequisite: IS 282 Network Security.NT 360 Supporting Enterprise ApplicationsThis course is designed to provide internetworked application management and support skills that typically are demanded by large enterprisenetworks and Internet/Intranet application environments. It extends the client/server model and analyzes the requirements and implementationof applications in n-tier enterprise environments running business-critical applications and Intranet/Internet solutions.
