Certified Ethical Hacker

This series of tutorial centers around Ethical Hacking, emphasizing the activity’s fundamentals, concepts, and best practices. More so, this aims to provide technical insights that will prepare hackers in getting their Certified Ethical Hacker license, an accreditation given by the EC-Council.

Introduction to Ethical Hacking

This lesson introduces the concept of hacking, putting focus on the difference of “white hat” hackers and “grey hat” hackers. More importantly, this provides a comprehensive discussion of what constitutes an ethical hacking in comparison with the unethical one. Essential hacking instruments are also outlined, giving course takers an overview of the tools and skills needed to acquire a Certified Ethical Hacker license from the EC-Council.

Operating Systems and Hacking

This lesson takes course takers deeper into hacking activities, now with the involvement of Linux and Windows, two of the most popular operating systems in the world. Centered in task automation and larger comprehension of shell scripting, this then carries an authoritative lecture about hacking terminologies, while putting into account their usage in the aforementioned operating systems.

Threats and System Hacking

This three-part lesson provides an in-depth study on hacking principles, putting emphasis on some of the best practices that one may use to easily determine internal and external threats. It then covers data collection or footprinting, which may be used to acquire information about hack prospects. Lastly, it teaches scanning and deflecting, which may be used to gather adequate data before implementing diagram method for your system.

Malware and Social Engineering

Malware comes in numerous forms, ranging from trojans and worms to viruses and backdoors. It is critical to understand how each danger differs and how to mitigate it. Wireshark examples will be demonstrated, as well as how to engage with Packets. The sociological aspect of Ethical Hacking will also be explored, while focusing on social engineering, server penetration, patch management, and counter measures. 

Sessions and Web Servers

Websites come as the most susceptible to hacking activities, and this was owed mainly to their transparent, centralized, and open source-traits. This lesson then provides an overall architectural approach, which aims to understand why website hacking has become a regular occurrence. Also, recent developments, tools, measures, and penetration are brought into discussion in order for course takers to negate potential digital attacks.

Web Applications and SQL Injection

Web applications have long been a battlefield in the continuing conflict between white hat and black hat hackers. This two-part lecture, divided into 13 subtopics, investigates the new armament that both sides are utilizing to carry on with their hacking codes, as well as one of the most commonly employed attack vectors, SQL injection. Other additional learning insights that this provides includes execution of pen testing, hacking methodology, and firewall programming.

Wireless Networks and Firewalls

As much as mobile platforms have affected society as a whole, they have also fundamentally transformed the battleground between hackers and the security experts tasked with stopping them. This discussion will highlight the processes used by hackers to leverage wireless networks, aimed at targeting and negating standard security technologies such as intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and honeypots.

Cloud and Cryptography

Cloud computing's simplicity of use and scalability have been more appealing to businesses. Unfortunately, external and internal clouds are becoming the ultimate prospect for cybercriminals. This lesson carries out a comprehensive lecture that will highlight recommended practices for cryptography and encryption, as well as the specific problems that cloud computing provides for cybersecurity experts.
