IPv6 Cybersecurity Track

Workshop Overview

This workshop provides participants with a practical introduction to core cybersecurity concepts and techniques. Through a combination of rigorous theory and hands-on labs, participants will learn to identify vulnerabilities, enumerate network assets, and apply industry-standard penetration testing tools in controlled environments.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

✔ Understand fundamental Internet and networking concepts
✔ Perform external reconnaissance using IP enumeration techniques
✔ Conduct internal network scanning using Nmap and traffic analysis with Wireshark
✔ Understand Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) principles and applications
✔ Navigate and utilize penetration testing tools and frameworks

Course Modules & Hands-on Labs

MODULE 1: Introduction to Internet and Networks

Foundations

OSI Model (Layers 1-7) and TCP/IP stack overview
IPv4 / IPv6 addressing, subnetting, and CIDR notation
Common protocols: TCP, UDP, ICMP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS
Port numbers, sockets, and network services

🛠️ Hands-on Activity: Use ipconfig/ifconfig to examine local network configuration; ping common hosts; trace routes using tracert/traceroute.

MODULE 2: External Reconnaissance – Enumerating Public-Facing IPs

OSINT & Recon

Active vs. Passive reconnaissance methodologies
WHOIS lookups and DNS interrogation
Shodan, Google Dorks, and search engine enumeration
Certificate transparency logs and subdomain enumeration
Identifying Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) and IP ranges

🛠️ Hands-on Activity: Perform WHOIS lookups; conduct Google Dorks searches; use DNS enumeration tools (nslookup, dig); search certificate transparency databases; identify public-facing services using Shodan.

MODULE 3: Internal Reconnaissance – Nmap and Wireshark

Scanning & Analysis

Nmap scan types: SYN, UDP, ACK, FIN scans
Service version detection and OS fingerprinting
Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) scripts for vulnerability detection
Wireshark packet capture, deep packet inspection, and display filtering
Protocol analysis: HTTP, DNS, ARP, SSL/TLS

🛠️ Hands-on Activity: Execute Nmap host discovery and port scanning; perform service version detection; run NSE vulnerability scripts; capture packets in Wireshark; filter and analyze live traffic to identify protocols and active services.

MODULE 4: Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)

Threat Intel

CTI tiers: Strategic, Tactical, and Operational intelligence
MITRE ATT&CK framework and threat matrix mapping
Threat indicators: Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), YARA rules, and hashes
Public threat feeds & platforms: VirusTotal, AlienVault OTX, MISP
Analyzing Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) campaigns and malware families

🛠️ Hands-on Activity: Research recent CVEs using NVD; query VirusTotal for file hash analysis; check IP/domain reputation; search for indicators in threat feeds; map real-world attack flows to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

MODULE 5: Kali Linux and Penetration Testing Tools

Offensive Security

Kali Linux environment installation, tools, and customization
Tool categories: Reconnaissance, Scanning, Enumeration, Exploitation
Metasploit framework overview and payload execution
Ethical hacking and legal frameworks: Scope, Rules of Engagement (ROE), and reporting

🛠️ Hands-on Activity: Explore pentest toolchains; run an integrated penetration workflow combining modules 2–4; generate a comprehensive penetration test report incorporating reconnaissance, scanning, and threat intelligence findings.
