AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting):

• Understand the core components of AAA.
• Learn to create strong passwords and avoid common password attacks like brute-force attacks.
• Password best practices:
  • Avoid using personal information (name, address, phone number, date of birth).
  • Passwords should be at least 8 characters long.
  • Include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols (!@#$%^&*()_+-).
  • Use unique passwords for each system.
  • Change passwords every 3 months or when suspicious activity is detected.

Example Labs:

• VPN Lab: Configure a VPN connection using a sample configuration.
• Wi-Fi Security Lab: Implement Wi-Fi security using IEEE 802.11 standards:
  • Access Point 1: SSID: Jodoi-Wifi1, Security: WEP, Key: 1234567890
  • Access Point 2: SSID: Jodoi-Wifi2, Security: WPA2 + AES, Key: 12345678
  • Access Point 3: SSID: Jodoi-Wifi3, Security: WPA2 + AES + Radius, Key: 123456, Username & Password
• NMAP Lab: Perform network scanning using NMAP to identify open ports and services. Example command: nmap -p 1-65535 -T4 -A -v 192.168.2.201. Analyze the output to identify potential vulnerabilities.
