Summary:
This course looks at web users from a few different perspectives. First, we look at identifying techniques to determine web user identities from a server perspective. Second, we will look at obfuscating techniques from a user whom seeks to be anonymous. Forensic techniques have been removed in favor of Zak's other course, forensic database analysis.
Version 1 was the originally released version, which has pre-recorded material.
Version 2 is a version being written with updated sources that currently work. The presentation uses mdp. mdp is a markdown presentation which is a linux application. Run mdp slides.md to view the presentation. Alternatively, look at the pdf presentation of the same content.
Port forwarding presentation is a light version of the above content with port forwarding content.
