Hi I am taking a course in Computer Security in the university I am attending as an exchange student, they have told me the course is hard, I want to prepare myself for it learning the topics before so I do not suffer as much, here are the topics:

Course contents

• introduction to computer security

• introduction to cryptography

• authentication, access control, security models

• intrusion detection, firewalls

• malware: virus/worms/troyans

• web attacks

• buffer overflow attacks

• human factors, security audits, and social manipulation

• selected current security related problems and technologies

I wanted to know if anyone knows about a Youtube, or Coursera course that covers the topics or a book or something to help me cover all this topics, thanks a lot
