Introduction

This course will teach you the base knowledge required to become a networking stud and will guide you through a variety of networking CTF challenges. You will do a bunch of packet capture problems, some packet crafting, and a few other miscellaneous networking shenanigans. It's hilariously practical, and ignores nearly all the finer parts of networking... sorry.

We will spend a little time going over the fundamentals, but most of the time will be wrapping your head around how to make the packets dance and what it looks like going over the wire. If you want an academic view into the protocols and how packets bop around, take a college course or read a book. This course is for rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty.

Welcome to the show!
