Kerberos is an essential part of any tech stack. It helps mitigate cyber attacks by providing strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. In this course, you will cover the basics of network security including: authentication, authorization, and auditing. You will also learn the fundamental concepts of Kerberos such as Key Distribution Center (KDC), Principals, and Ticketing. Towards the end of this course, you will explore common attacks that are specific to the protocol and how Kerberos works to triage them. Lastly, you will get some hands-on practice with Kerberos where you’ll work to create a principal and request a Ticket-Granting Ticket from an Authentication Server. By the time you’re done, you will have picked up a new in-demand skill that will allow you to better protect your data.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
