About Course

Brief Description:

The Ethical Hacker course is designed to equip learners with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify, analyze, and mitigate cybersecurity threats. Participants will learn how to think and act like hackers to test and secure computer systems, networks, and applications. The course covers penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, cryptography, and network security.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand ethical hacking concepts and cybersecurity fundamentals.

  2. Identify vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications.

  3. Conduct penetration testing using various hacking tools and techniques.

  4. Implement security measures to prevent cyberattacks.

  5. Apply cryptographic techniques to protect data.

  6. Learn about malware analysis, social engineering, and wireless network security.

  7. Understand cybersecurity laws, regulations, and ethical hacking principles.

Methodology:

The course follows a hands-on, practical approach, including:

  • Lectures & Discussions: To cover theoretical cybersecurity concepts.

  • Lab Sessions: Hands-on training using ethical hacking tools (e.g., Kali Linux, Metasploit, Wireshark).

  • Case Studies: Real-world cybersecurity incidents and how they were addressed.

  • Simulated Attacks: Practical exercises on penetration testing.

  • Group Projects: Collaborative security assessments and solutions.

  • Examinations & Certifications: To assess knowledge and skills gained.
