Practical Software Exercises for Improving Security in ICT

After three preceding sets of practical exercises laid forward in preceding manuscripts, I have inspired from my previously taught modules to produce this manuscript. Here, a successive set of 35 cohesively written practical exercises in softwares, pertaining to the field of ICT Security, has been laid forward, in a similar style as in the preceding manuscripts. This set of exercises apply better to beginner levels in university courses. Of course, its applicability to advanced level courses may be appreciated by many academicians to their discretion. It is maintained here that adaptations of these exercises by academicians to their requirements is very possible. The recommendation is continued here for students to devise good/workable summary sheets for each exercise, along with writing proper report and referencing needed. For each exercise, a share of analysis is required by the students to develop their thinking and critical/professional abilities. Most exercises have been devised for computers/laptops along with the currently trending smart phones/tablets. Students should communicate properly with their coach, who in turn, are recommended to perform judicious follow-ups.
