About the Course

The course aims to provide participants with a solid understanding of the security risks and vulnerabilities associated with Ethereum DApps. Participants will learn about common attack vectors, smart contract vulnerabilities, and best practices for securing DApps against potential threats. ● Participants will acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to conduct smart contract audits. They will learn auditing methodologies, tools, and techniques to assess the security and reliability of smart contracts, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend appropriate remediation measures. ● The course will focus on teaching participants secure coding practices specific to Ethereum DApps. Participants will learn about techniques such as input validation, access control, and secure contract design to develop robust and secure smart contracts and DApps. ● Participants will gain practical experience in performing penetration testing of Ethereum DApps. They will learn how to simulate attacks, identify vulnerabilities, and exploit weaknesses in DApps to assess their resilience against real-world threats. ● The course will cover best practices for overall DApp security, including secure key management, secure deployment practices, and secure data handling. Participants will understand how to implement security measures throughout the entire development lifecycle of DApps. Target Learners: ● Blockchain Developers: Experienced blockchain developers interested in enhancing their knowledge of security best practices specifically for Ethereum smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). ● Smart Contract Developers: Individuals specializing in smart contract development who want to deepen their understanding of security vulnerabilities and techniques to mitigate risks in Ethereum contracts. ● Cybersecurity Professionals: Security analysts, consultants, or cybersecurity professionals looking to specialize in blockchain security, particularly focusing on Ethereum, to identify vulnerabilities and develop secure solutions. ● Blockchain Architects: Architects and system designers involved in designing Ethereum-based systems who need to ensure the security of the overall architecture, including smart contracts and decentralized applications. ● Penetration Testers: Ethical hackers and penetration testers interested in learning how to assess the security of Ethereum-based systems, including smart contracts, to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. ● Blockchain Researchers: Researchers in the field of blockchain technology who want to study security issues and challenges specific to Ethereum and contribute to the advancement of blockchain security practices. ● Cryptocurrency Investors: Investors and traders interested in understanding the security risks associated with Ethereum-based projects to make informed investment decisions and assess project viability. To be successful in this course, you should have a background in: ● Blockchain Basics: Understanding foundational concepts of blockchain technology, such as distributed ledger technology, consensus mechanisms, and cryptographic principles, will provide a strong starting point for learning Ethereum security. ● Ethereum Architecture: Familiarity with the Ethereum platform, including its components such as Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), smart contracts, gas, and transaction processing, is essential for comprehending security vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques. ● Smart Contract Development: Proficiency in developing smart contracts using Solidity or other Ethereum-compatible languages is highly beneficial. Knowledge of smart contract design patterns, debugging, and testing methodologies is crucial for understanding security risks. ● Programming: Strong programming skills, particularly in languages commonly used for Ethereum development such as Solidity, JavaScript, or Python, are necessary for understanding and implementing security best practices. ● Cybersecurity Principles: Understanding fundamental cybersecurity principles, such as threat modeling, secure coding practices, encryption, authentication, and access control, is important for assessing and mitigating security risks in Ethereum-based systems. ● Web Development: Knowledge of web development technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and frameworks is helpful, especially for understanding the front-end interfaces of decentralized applications (DApps) and potential security vulnerabilities in web3 interactions. ● Security Tools and Techniques: Familiarity with security assessment tools and techniques, such as static analysis tools, dynamic analysis tools, penetration testing frameworks, and auditing methodologies, will be valuable for evaluating Ethereum smart contracts and DApps for security flaws....

I'd give it 0 stars if that were an option. Coursera should remove this course from the system because you won't learn anything concrete by taking it. He literally reads the slides word to word and doesn't provide anything substantial that might be beneficial as a security researcher/auditor. I accidently forgot to cancel my subscription before the 7-day trial so I was charged for a month. I thought I might learn something useful but that was not the case at all. I skipped the last module entirely and still managed to pass the assessment as the questions were repetitive and required nothing other than common sense.
