Language :  French language
Course contents :  This seminar aims at giving first hand experience of intrusion detection techniques. Participants will have, by teams, to implement a couple of well-known attacks, in a dedicated environment, and to detect them when run. Afterwards, they will have to modify their attack to become stealthier but also the detection to become more generic. A final discussion summarizes the lessons learned.
Course objective :  The objectives of this lecture are to break the myths of the hackers and of their detection by some practical, hands on, experimental approach of theses notions. It aims at helping participants to adopt a new viewpoint when considering networking issues, taking security into account.
Prerequisites :  Introduction to computer networks
Workshops :  Students have to implement, in teams, in a dedicated environment, attacks as well as detection techniques, throughout the whole semester, according to their own rhythm.
Organization :  A first half-day of lecture is devoted to the presentation of the course and its organisation, as well as to an introduction to computer security in the more global context of dependability. Approximately 5 weeks later, students come present, by team, in front of all participants, the work done with the class of attacks they had been assigned to. Before the end of the semester, they do another presentation of the detection techniques implemented and they also perform a demonstration of the various developments carried out for the lecture.
Written notes :  Slides are distributed electronically during the very first lecture.
Assessment :  Final note is based on the two oral presentations, on the report produced thereof, the quality of the demo as well as the quality of the responses provided to the questions asked during the demonstration.
