Ethical Hacking

Duration
45 Hours

Course Description

         Ethical hacking is the practice of using hacking techniques to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks, with the permission of the owner. It involves simulating attacks to uncover weaknesses and strengthen defenses against malicious actors. Essentially, it's hacking for good, with the goal of improving security rather than causing harm. 

Course Outline For Ethical Hacking

1. Introduction to ethical hacking

  • Understanding ethical hacking: What it is, its purpose, methodologies, and phases (reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, covering tracks).
  • Legal and ethical considerations: Importance of adhering to legal and ethical boundaries.
  • Information security fundamentals: Basic concepts, controls, laws, and standards like PCI-DSS, ISO/IEC 27001:2013, and HIPAA. 

2. Information gathering and reconnaissance

  • Footprinting: Techniques for gathering preliminary information about target systems and networks.
  • Tools and techniques: Using search engines, web services, social media, and specialized tools like WHOIS lookup and Google Hacking Database to collect data. 

3. Network scanning and enumeration

            This section typically covers identifying live hosts, open ports, and services on a network through scanning, and extracting detailed information about network resources and user accounts through enumeration. Tools like Nmap for network mapping and vulnerability detection are also discussed. 

4. Vulnerability analysis

           Course content in this area includes understanding vulnerability research, classification, and assessment methods. You'll also learn about vulnerability scoring systems like CVSS and CVE. 

5. System hacking

           This module covers hacking methodologies to find system and network vulnerabilities, techniques for password cracking, and using password cracking tools. Methods for escalating privileges on systems are also explored. 

6. Malware threats and analysis

           This section focuses on understanding different types of malwares, their infection mechanisms, and analysis procedures. You will also learn techniques for malware detection, removal, and prevention. 

7. Network-level attacks and countermeasures

           Coursework here includes capturing and analyzing network traffic through sniffing, understanding DoS and DDoS attacks, and techniques for session hijacking. 

8. Web application and database security

            This part of the course covers vulnerabilities and attack methods targeting web applications, including SQL injection techniques. Using web application security tools like Burp Suite for vulnerability assessment is also often included. 

9. Wireless network security

            Content in this area includes understanding different wireless encryption protocols like WEP, WPA, and WPA2. Various wireless hacking methodologies and tools are also explored. 

10. Emerging technologies and cryptography

            This section addresses the security challenges of IoT and OT, explores cloud security issues, and covers encryption algorithms, cryptography tools, and cryptanalysis techniques. 

11. Penetration testing and incident response

           This module covers penetration testing methodologies, including planning and reporting findings. Developing procedures for detecting, analyzing, and responding to security incidents is also a key component.
