The course objective is to instruct participants in the methods of scanning, testing, hacking, and securing their systems. It aims to provide an intensive laboratory environment that delivers comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience with vital security systems. Participants will initially learn how perimeter defenses operate, progressing to the practical application of scanning and attacking their networks, ensuring no actual networks are compromised. The course will then guide learners through the processes of intruder privilege escalation and the necessary measures to fortify systems against such breaches. Further, the curriculum covers Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows, and Virus Creation. Upon completing this rigorous five-day class, participants will have acquired a practical understanding and experience in Ethical Hacking.
