This workshop aims at introducing penetration testing methods and principles for Sigtran/MAP-based signaling systems in mobile networks. During the course participant will gain insight into the signaling protocol related network vulnerabilities by actively using the Kali-Linux pentesting tools, modified and extended for mobile networks environment. Practical exercises and lecturer guided signaling trace analysis will provide a strong foundation for further studies in the field.

This three-day course reviews the principles and use of the link budget along with hands-on training, for one- and two-way transmission of digital television; two-way interactive services using very small aperture terminals (VSATs); point-to-point transmission at a wide range of data rates; and interactive communications with mobile terminals. Services at UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, and Ka bands to fixed and mobile terminals are considered.

The main objectives of this course is to address some fundamentals of Cyber Security topics, and provide insights into the modern security environment. It seeks to explain the cyber threat landscape and attackers' mentality, including how attackers works, what tools they use, and what vulnerabilities they target and what they are really after. It covers a wide range of baseline topics, including terminology, the basics of computer networks, cryptographic principles,penetration testing and more.

Upon completion of this course, the participants would be able to describe what 5G is, the 5G technology drivers, the 5G network architecture and its key technologies. To list the 5G features and their benefits, illustrate the 5G architecture and components, explain the RF, PHY, MAC and Core network operation of 5G.

This course provides an understanding of the SONET/SDH and DWDM networking technologies and elements that are required to build evolving transport networks. It provides participants with a solid business and technical foundation in optical networks, services and applications development.
