The Cyber Security Education Consortium is a cohesive partnership of community colleges and career and technology centers in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas and the University of Tulsa. CSEC is comprised of 42 active two-year academic institutions.
As a National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education Regional Center, CSEC's objectives are to: (i) develop and disseminate cyber security curricula; (ii) train instructors and build thriving cyber security programs; and (iii)create a cadre of skilled professionals who will stimulate job growth and economic development in an eight-state region: Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas.
A Francis Tuttle the program career majors are designed to fit specific levels of employment in the IT field and help the student gain the industry certifications need to become employed.
All the majors are modular and stackable, to enable the student to match their training to their employment goals. In addition, they can transfer most if not all credits from a lower level major to a higher level major.
In addtition, we have aligned the majors and courses with The Workforce Framework a national resource that categorizes, organizes, and describes cybersecurity work. The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) developed the Workforce Framework to provide educators, students, employers, employees, training providers and policy makers with a systematic way to for organizing the way we think and talk about cybersecurity work, and what is required of the cybersecurity workforce.

This lab is part of a series of lab exercises designed through a grant initiative by the Center for Systems Security and Information Assurance (CSSIA) and the Network Development Group (NDG), funded by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program Department of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Award No. 0702872 and 1002746. This work has been adapted by The Department of Labor (DOL) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Grant No. TC-22525-11-60-A-48. This series of lab exercises is intended to support courseware for CompTIA Security+® certification.
By performing this lab, students will learn the process of capturing network traffic using three different methods; the tcpdump command, Wireshark, and NetworkMiner. The tcpdump command has no Graphical User Interface (GUI) and is only utilized within a Linux terminal. Wireshark shows you the raw output of network traffic captures and allows you to analyze them. Network Miner will allow you to capture data, and it will also pull out items like clear text messages and pictures.
