• Online, Instructor-Led

Students will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be lead into scanning and attacking their own networks, no real network is harmed. Students then learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. Students will also learn about Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows and Virus Creation. When a student completes this online training course they will have knowledge and experience in Ethical Hacking. This course prepares you for EC-Council ANSI accredited Certified Ethical Hacker exam 312-50.
