SEC503 is most appropriate for students who are or will become intrusion detection/prevention or security analysts, although others may benefit from the course as well. Students range all the way from seasoned analysts to novices with some TCP/IP background, but to keep pace with the class students are expected to have at least a basic working knowledge of TCP/IP (see www.sans.org//media/security-training/tcpip_quiz.php ). Please note that the Packetrix VMware used in class is a Linux distribution, so we strongly recommend that you spend some time getting familiar with a Linux environment that uses the command line for entry, along with learning some of the core Unix commands, before coming to class.
