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
