Fundamentals of Embedded Device Networking & Remote Access (Embedded Systems Level I)
Course Duration
5 Days
Audience
Employees of federal, state and local governments; and businesses working with the government.
Prerequisites
Students will get the most from this course if they have the following: basic networking knowledge including IP addressing, subnets, routing, and common protocols (TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS); some familiarity with network devices such as routers, switches, and 802.11 wireless access points; basic Linux command-line experience including file management, navigation, and basic scripting; familiarity with common Linux tools and commands (ls, cd, sudo, nano/vim); some exposure to SSH for remote access; and familiarity with common network monitoring and diagnostic tools. Some prior experience with nmap is helpful but not mandatory.
Course Description
This course provides intensive hands-on experience building, configuring, and utilizing single board computers (SBCs) like the Raspberry Pi for use in Electronic Warfare (EW) scenarios. Students will implement a wide variety of SBC configurations to achieve specific operational use cases. The course is designed to be customizable and places emphasis on edge-case, non-standard implementations required by EW operator Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
Learning Objectives
- Build and configure single board computers (SBCs) such as the Raspberry Pi for EW operational use cases
- Implement a variety of network configurations to support embedded device remote access scenarios
- Apply Linux command-line skills to configure, manage, and secure SBC-based systems in the field
- Set up and utilize SSH and other remote access tools in non-standard network environments
- Configure edge-case and non-standard networking implementations required by EW TTPs
- Customize SBC deployments to meet mission-specific Electronic Warfare requirements
Course Outline
- Introduction to Embedded Systems and Remote Management Embedded systems and applications in networking and cryptologic systems. Remote management principles and common use cases. Differences between embedded systems and traditional computing.
- Operating System Basics and Installation on Embedded Devices Common OS options for embedded systems (Raspberry Pi OS, Debian-based systems). Installation and configuration on Raspberry Pi and similar SBC devices. Setup best practices: quality of life, users, SSH, and security essentials.
- Networking for Embedded Systems IP networking with embedded systems. Introduction to and configuration of DHCP, DNS, and static IP configuration. Configuration of WLAN and LAN connectivity.
- Setting Up and Securing Remote Access Secure Shell (SSH) and secure remote access methods. SSH key management: key generation, distribution, and storage. Secure remote access via port forwarding, reverse SSH tunnels, and VPNs.
- Thin Client Configuration and Remote Control Tools Using thin client tools (e.g., VNC). Bandwidth and latency considerations for thin clients. Terminal-based remote management options and considerations.
- Network and System Infrastructure Requirements System and network infrastructure requirements for remote control. Assessing data throughput and network latency for effective system management. Troubleshooting connectivity issues and ensuring consistent performance, especially over slow(er) links.
- Data Throughput and Cryptologic System Needs Cryptologic system requirements and considerations for data transmission. Encryption and secure communication protocols. Assessing and monitoring data throughput requirements for different operations.
- Working with Servers and Remote Management Architectures Server setups for remote equipment control. Configuring servers (e.g., Digital Ocean, AWS EC2) for remote monitoring and management.
- Network Monitoring Basics and Device Diagnostics Network monitoring tools (e.g., Wireshark, tcpdump) for embedded systems. Capturing and analyzing network traffic relevant to remote equipment management. Device diagnostics and common troubleshooting techniques.
