Course Number: CETE-938
Category: Information Technology & Computers
Description Content Filtering offers you an understanding of the increasingly important requirements of controlling the data content of network traffic and the management of available bandwidth.

Through a series of hands-on exercises you will explore creating and bypassing filters, which are intended to block active content from Web pages and e-mail. Also covered will be the dangers of uncontrolled access to network resources, together with the associated social and legal implications.

Specific topics in the Content Filtering course include hidden data in inbound and outbound traffic, application and circuit level filtering, basic file forensics, exploiting metadata to identify users and resources, installing a proxy server and more.

For the offering's hands-on aspect, you will complete practical assignments such as implementing a Tornode and configuring a firewall.
