Learning Ruby and JavaScript opens a world of endless possibilities in programming. These two coding languages are among the most popular and versatile programming languages in web development, app development, and many other tech areas.
Why Do We Teach These Languages to Aspiring Developers?

Readability

In the world of programming, abstractions and expressions are key. Despite the variety of modern languages, the mechanics of code remain largely consistent. However, learning syntax can be a steep challenge for beginners.
Ruby was designed with readability in mind. With its English-like vocabulary, Ruby programming allows new developers to focus on logic and core concepts instead of struggling with syntax. This helps them learn to think like programmers, break down problems, express technical ideas, and collaborate effectively.
JavaScript for web development is essential, especially as the language of the browser. Its use now extends far beyond front-end design thanks to Node.js, making it a strong choice for full stack development. It's also known for being many developers' second language due to its flexibility and ubiquity.
Both Ruby and JavaScript are interpreted languages, meaning beginners can instantly see the results of their code. This encourages faster learning, experimentation, and hands-on development from the start.

Open Source

The open-source communities that have blossomed around both Ruby and JavaScript are a testament to their widespread adoption and usefulness. With over 900 Ruby groups on Meetup.com alone, totaling more than 500,000 members worldwide, and over 4,000 JavaScript groups with over two million members, the support for these languages is undeniable. In addition, Ruby boasts a vast ecosystem of over 60,000 libraries, which users can easily leverage for free when building applications with greater complexity and real-world applicability. With these publicly available tools, the possibilities are endless, enabling developers to push the boundaries of what they can achieve.

Career Flexibility

Programming is a continuous learning process. Developers must adapt to new technologies and languages throughout their careers.
Starting with programming languages for beginners like Ruby and JavaScript provides a strong, adaptable foundation. It makes new developers more marketable, more versatile, and better prepared for long-term success in software development.

Cybersecurity Engineering

Utilize the layers of the TCP/IP and OSI models in analyzing network protocols.
  • Analyze packet captures and draw conclusions about network activity. Create a web application and evaluate its security.
  • Explain network security protocols as well as their vulnerabilities.
  • Utilize attack tools to mount attacks against various types of networks and use countermeasures to forestall these same attacks.
  • Map ports on a given IP, fingerprint services, catalog vulnerabilities, bypass firewalls, and mount a large array of web-based exploits.
  • Deliver a wide variety of payloads to attain and maintain backdoor access to a compromised machine.
Cybersecurity
Network Security
In this course, the primary focus is on the fundamental network security concepts. The class's initial section will review essential network protocols, including:
  • Ethernet
  • 802.11 (Wi-Fi)
  • IP
  • UDP
  • TCP
  • ARP
  • DHCP
  • DNS

We will also cover attacks against these core technologies and explore countermeasures to thwart them. This will cover the following:
  • TCP Hijacking
  • ARP Cache Poisoning
  • Domain Spoofing
Additionally, American Science Academy will discuss topics such as sniffing and port scanning, firewalls, IDSes, and NIDSes, as well as wireless protocols and their respective security measures. The course will then transition into AppSec, explicitly focusing on web security. Finally, we will delve into denial-of-service attacks and attack payloads.
At the completion of this course, a student will be able to:
  • Apply the TCP/IP and OSI model layers to examine and interpret network protocols.
  • Review packet captures to assess network behavior and identify potential issues.
  • Build a web application and assess its security posture.
  • Understand common network security protocols and recognize their vulnerabilities.
  • Use attack tools to simulate various network attacks and implement strategies to defend against them.
  • Perform port scanning, service fingerprinting, vulnerability mapping, firewall evasion, and execute a wide range of web-based exploits.
  • Deploy different payloads to gain and maintain remote access to compromised systems.

System Security
The main objective of this course is to delve into the areas of System Architecture, Operating System Architecture, and System Exploits, which include hardware exploits, memory exploits, and operating system exploits. Various tools will be used to analyze these exploits, such as Metasploit and command-line utilities in Linux (xxd, gdb, among others).
We will explore different types of exploits and their countermeasures, including buffer overflows, integer overflows, off-by-one errors, shellcode injections, and Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU). Additionally, we will cover fundamentals of Cloud security and migration considerations, Hypervisor Exploits, and Android and iOS security.
