Training Ethical Hacker – 5 days

Class overview :

This program  prepares individuals in the specific network security discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor-neutral perspective. An Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker.

Class goals :

• Developing the hacker’s mind. • Network surveying. • Port scanning. • System identification/OS fingerprinting. • Vulnerability research and verification. • Service identification. • Internet application testing. • Document grinding. • Recognizing security issues within an organization. • Performing legal assessments on remote/foreign networks. • Examining an organization for weaknesses as through the eyes of an industrial spy or a competitor. • Implementing the right tools for each task of the Methodology • Competitive Intelligence. • Exploiting vulnerabilities remotely. • Examining appropriate countermeasures to thwart malicious hacking.

Content of Ethical Hacker

This class will immerse the student into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to scan, test, and secure their own systems. The lab-intensive environment gives each student in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems. Students will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be led into scanning and attacking their own networks. Students then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. Students will also learn about intrusion detection, policy creation, social engineering, open source intelligence, incident handling, and log interpretation.
