RE: Few interesting topics in Network Security please.

["Rivest, Philippe" <Rivestp () metro ca>]

I would strongly consider matching Wireshark and a MITM attack subject(Appz id: Cain & Abel). I cant belive how no body 
knows what MITM is and how one would use this technique to steal info. It is really important. Also, show some 
consideration to IP spoofing. I would not spend days on these 2 subject, but a few demo & details would greatly open 
the eyes of fresh IT eyes :)

Three things that students are not getting in network courses that are CRITICAL to the real world:
    1) Low level understanding of protocols
    2) Routing
    3) Packet filtering

Some tools I would recommend as absolute requirements for the course:
    wireshark
    nmap
    traceroute
    ping
    arping
    hping
    dsniff
    gobbler
    ettercap
    hunt
    yersina
    firewalk
    iptables
    snort (if you get into IDS)
    quagga (for routing)


If you get into protocol errors / DOS:
    jolt
    land
    nestea
    smurf
    fraggle

Hope this helps!
