The course is designed for technically minded people
who want to protect themselves from hackers,
cyber criminals, malware, viruses.
It's for people who want to share information anonymously
without endangering themselves or their family.
It's for those who want to keep their accounts,
email, communication, and personal information private
from corporate or government tracking and spying.
It's also for those with an interest in technology and the internet,
like security professionals, students studying IT or security.
Also for freedom fighters,
political or religious dissidents operating in oppressive regimes,
journalists, businessmen and women
where security, privacy, and anonymity matters.
Also law enforcement officers and other agents
who need a better understanding of how criminals avoid detection.
It's also for those who care about government spying
on their internet usage and want to avoid it.
It's for law enforcement officers who are operating
in hostile environments or undercover.
And for those who wish to publish information anonymously,
like whistle blowers, bloggers in countries with laws
on the content of what they can write,
and anyone who has an interest in security, privacy, and anonymity
and wants to learn more.
If you fit into any of those, then this course is aimed at you.
If you don’t, then this course is not aimed for you.
But I want to make it clear who it's aimed at
so nobody is disappointed,
but I'm sure you will not be.
There are some prerequisites to taking the course
in order for you to get the most out of it
You should at least have a basic understanding of operating systems,
networks, and the internet.
You should be able to download and install software
and be open to spending time
investigating and learning topics away from the course.
You should be technically minded
and most importantly,
you must be willing to apply the things that you learn.
