Description
Computer security is one of the biggest job gaps in history, with a shortage of 3.5 million skilled workers needing to tackle a problem estimated to be worth $6 trillion. This is one of the biggest opportunities in history.
When you complete this course you'll have the knowledge to get a job and cash in on the $6 trillion industry!
Although this course covers practical methods for breaking into and securing systems, most of the lectures focus on principals which allow you to properly understand the concepts. This differs from a lot of courses on Udemy that teach specific tools that will be out of date next year. This course is designed to teach the next thought leaders of the industry... ones who are capable of making tools that make everything before it seem outdated!
This course covers all the topics of several of my courses at university. It's not long, it's light hearted, and doesn't feel dense... but all the content is there.
This course includes lectures on:
Core Security Principals
Injection
SQL Injection
XML Injection
JSON Injection
Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
Phishing
Brute Force
Security Mindset
Client Side and Server Side Attacks
Authentication and Access Control
Cryptography
Encryption
Hashing
Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
DDoS
Password
Deployment Best Practices
External Packages
Monitoring and Response
Honeypots
OWASP Top 10
And two assignments that will test your patience and show you what real hacking is like!
Who this course is for:
- University students studying computer science or a related field
- Tinkerers wanting to ensure their apps are secure
- Employees wanting to improve the cyber security of their firm
- Developers interested in learning security
- Security professionals wanting to refresh their knowledge

Hi, I'm Daniel, a software engineer and computer security expert who's worked around the world, from New York, Hong Kong, to Sydney.
When I was at university I took some cyber security courses and grew frustrated at the lack of quality resources and the overall quality of the teaching and vowed to create the materials I wish I had! 4 years ago I released a series of YouTube videos on Buffer Overflows which was met with incredible feedback, so I decided to make some courses on Udemy.
