NSS-1

If you want an easier time with the course, take it in the 7th semester after doing CN and maybe FCS(do note these are two very different courses)

• For Stream and Block Ciphers - Dan Boneh's YouTube Channel
• A very good explanation of Kerberos
• For other cryptographic concepts Computerphile
• For SSL/TLS, this Cloudflare article, and this article for TLS1.2 and TLS1.3
• For IPSec, this strongswan article
• Buffer Overflow and Format String Vulnerability - Team bi0s wiki and This binary exploitation notes
• Lectures the biggest resource, right after asking the prof for doubts

NSS-2

This course is very hands on. Expect to be reading lots of man pages, documentation, and setting up things. Some concepts of NSS-1 are talked about in brief. Use the previous resources to brush up your knowledge.

• Tor white paper
• Lots of papers exist on attacks against Tor. Prof will post resources on gc.
• Active Directory Lots of extra material here as well. Only do what's necessary
• Just attend lectures and read notes. Should be sufficient.
