Course Overview
As the security mindset in any organization must not be limited to the silos of a certain vendor, technologies or pieces of equipment, this course was designed to provide you with the tools and techniques used by hackers and information security professionals alike to break into an organization. As we put it, "To beat a hacker, you need to think like a hacker". This course will immerse you into the Hacker Mindset so that you will be able to defend against future attacks. It puts you in the driver`s seat of a hands-on environment with a systematic ethical hacking process. Here, you will be exposed to an entirely different way of achieving optimal information security posture in their organization; by hacking it! You will scan, test, hack and secure your own systems. You will be thought the Five Phases of Ethical Hacking and thought how you can approach your target and succeed at breaking in every time! The five phases include Reconnaissance, Gaining Access, Enumeration, Maintaining Access, and covering your tracks. The tools and techniques in each of these five phases are provided in detail in an encyclopedic approach to help you identify when an attack has been used against your own targets.
