Ethical Hacking

Course description

Ethical hacking, also known as "white hat" hacking, is the practice of using hacking techniques to test and assess the security of computer systems, networks, and software applications in a controlled and authorized manner. The goal of ethical hacking is to identify and address potential security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious hackers.

A course in ethical hacking typically covers topics such as

  1. Reconnaissance and information-gathering techniques
  2. Scanning and enumeration techniques
  3. Vulnerability identification and exploitation
  4. Web application security testing
  5. Wireless network security testing
  6. Social engineering tactics and countermeasures
  7. Cryptography and digital forensics
  8. Network and system hardening
  9. Penetration testing methodologies and tools
  10. Report writing and communication skills.

The course also focuses on the legal and ethical considerations of ethical hacking, including the importance of obtaining proper authorization and following established guidelines for ethical hacking engagements.
