This course introduces formal techniques to support the design and analysis of Programming in Information Security, focusing on both understanding the underlying theory of networking and possible attacks and practical considerations of developed programs. Topics include socket programming, Working with N-map Scanner, Interacting with Vulnerability Scanners, Python Tools Forensics Analysis, Cryptography and Penetration testing.

This module introduces the concepts of object-oriented programming for students after having a background in the procedural paradigm. It aims to develop an understanding of the principles of the object-oriented paradigm, provide familiarity with approaches to object-oriented modeling and design, provide a familiarity with the syntax, class hierarchy, environment, and simple application construction for an object-oriented programming language. The module emphasizes modern software engineering principles and developing fundamental programming skills in a language that supports the object-oriented paradigm (Java, for instance).
