This Ethical Hacking Course meets the standards of highly skilled security professionals by providing a comprehensive set of ethical hacking and network security skills, tools and methodologies.
Participants will begin by understanding how perimeter defences work and will be guided into scanning and attacking their own networks (no real network is harmed). They will then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure their organization’s system.
Participants will also gain in-depth knowledge on intrusion detection, policy creation, social engineering, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, buffer overflows and virus creation.
This course will prepare all participants wishing to take the EC-Council ANSI accredited Certified Ethical Hacker exam 312-50.
Course Methodology
Participants will be provided laptops and immersed into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to scan, test, hack and secure their own systems. This lab intensive environment gives each participant the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems.
Each participant will have access to their own workstation and will be given exercises to practice penetration testing and create simple malware-type samples. They will also work in teams to create scenarios for the use of social engineering.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Describe how perimeter defences function by ethically scanning and attacking networks
Conduct information systems security audits by understanding the latest security threats, advanced attack vectors, hacking techniques, methodologies and security measures
Identify intruders, understand how they escalate privileges, and take the necessary steps to secure a system
Conduct vulnerability assessments, risk assessments, penetration testing, and system protection measures Create policies and apply countermeasures against social engineering, Distributed Denial-of Service (DDoS) attacks, buffer overflows, and virus creation
Apply countermeasures to secure mobile infrastructure against the attacks to mobile platforms and tablet computers
