COURSE CONTENT
This is a unique, authoritative, high-value, hands-on practical course which
will provide participants with essential understanding of the tools,
methodologies and vulnerabilities that hackers/intruders could employ to
exploit the IT systems of their organisations. Most organisations now
realise that in order to defend themselves against the threat of attack by
hackers, crackers, and indeed any individual intent on causing disruption to
their IT systems, IT staff must have an informed and current understanding
of the present-day methodologies, tools, and vulnerabilities which allow
these exploits to happen.

This Ethical Hacking course is designed to educate IT professionals in order
to allow them
to defend systems against hacking attacks. During this course, participants
will learn about the hacker mindset and become familiar with the tools and
methodologies that are used to attack systems. Using state-of-the-art
classroom setups, delegates work with LINUX/UNIX and Windows systems, and
associated server software. A wide range of hacking tools and security
auditing tools are used during the course.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course fulfils two vital objectives for anyone working in IT systems
administration, IT security or IT support roles:
1.The course builds a strong awareness of the wide range of risks and
threats now faced even by organisations which believe they have strong
security solutions in place.
2.The course provides delegates with a solid understanding of the control
measures that need to be put in place in order to limit an organisation's
vulnerabilities and risk of attack.

By the end of this course, the participant will have learnt about:
-The tools, techniques and methodologies employed by hackers in a dedicated
lab environment.
-How hackers can collect and assimilate information about an organisation's
infrastructure whilst avoiding detection.
-How information may be used to assess your IT systems' weaknesses and
subsequently launch an attack against target systems.

-The types of tools that are used to elevate access on a system.
-The techniques used by hackers to conceal their tracks and the methods via

them.

hacker attacks.
