offers hundreds of technical labs in the following subjects:
- Become the Expert
- Instead of just reading about a new
exploit, would it not be great to prove the concept? Instead of
just letting a scanner tell you if you are vulnerable, would it not be
great to actually know why or why not a computer device is actually
vulnerable? In addition to the previous questions, would it not be
great to be your departments go-to resident expert that provides a
business impact analysis to the executive chain when ever a
vulnerability is discovered?
- I hope your answers are yes to the above rhetorical questions.
- If your answers are yes, please review Section 4, which outlines our Level 1 Cyber Security Martial Arts Framework.

| Section 2. What is the Battleground? |
- What is the Battleground?
- Undisturbed, the internet is a digital
symphony of 0s and 1s lawfully participating in various communication
protocols using the Open System Interconnect (OSI) Model.
- The enemy manipulates these 0s and 1s and/or protocols to achieve an adverse result that usually deviates for the original design implementation.
- The results are numerous: Denial of
Service, Information Stealing, Webpage Graffiti,
Computer/Application Damage via virus/worm, Webbots, rootkits, and
much more.

- Who is Sun Tzu?
- Sun Tzu was an ancient Chinese military general, strategist and philosopher who authored the Art of War, an influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy.
- In the same way you prepare from physical
warfare, you can also use his teachings to prepare for Cyber warfare.
- Famous Quotes
- Before the battle is fought, you should make estimations through calculations of the battleground. In our case, the battleground is the OSI model and everything that communicates on it.
- Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy will be fresh for the fight. This is accomplished by practicing layered security throughout the OSI model.
- Famous Quotes
