Ethical Hacker

This Ethical Hacking program will cover at a high level what are some of the essential tools a hacker needs to know about and be proficient with as well as the credentials of a hacker and what you can expect when becoming a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). We’ll dig deeper into the primary operating systems used for hacking: linux and windows. Automating tasks is critical to your job as a hacker and knowledge of shell scripts is key. Learn how to identify threats both external and internal. Perhaps one of the employees of the business uses a very weak password and this is a security threat that a dictionary attack tool can rapidly find. It then covers how to gain information or “footprinting” on a target of ethical hacking. It shows how to scan and also to mitigate scans to acquire information about weak points and then explains diagramming your system from a hacking perspective. There are many different types of Malware from trojans and worms to viruses and backdoors. Learning about how each threat is different is key and about how to mitigate it. Examples will be shown with Wireshark and how to interact with Packets. Also the human element of Ethical Hacking will be covered. Perhaps a company is very good in network security but lacking in physical security. This is an area that social engineering can come into play. How do you case an establishment and look for week points in the human element? And also how can you attempt to mitigate these threats.
