Feedback from other security courses have been used when creating "Cyber Security" course. This includes feedback from "Tunkeutumistestaus" (Penetration Testing, has reached 5.0/5), "ICT Security Basics - from Trust to Blockchain" (has reached 4.9/5), "Information Security" (has reached 4.8/5) and others. Based on feedback, an attempt is made to: discuss in the class; link theory to practical exercises (that are not highly demanding technically); have homework with both varied reading and applied tasks. Both numeric and free form feedback for these courses is available on https://terokarvinen.com/

This course gives you grand overview of cyber security and some practice with tools implementing these principles. Even though you're expected to be able to install and configure programs and troubleshoot some errors, this is not my most technical course. For demanding technical, non-masters level offensive courses, you should consider other courses such as Tunkeutumistestaus (Penetration testing), Sovellusten hakkerointi ja haavoittuvuudet (Application hacking and vulnerabilities) or Verkkoon tunkeutuminen ja tiedustelu (Network attacks in reconnaissance).
