Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures: Hands-On
Preventing Network and System Breaches

Course: 537   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 4 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Deploy ethical hacking to expose weaknesses in your organisation and select countermeasures
  • Gather intelligence by employing reconnaissance, published data and scanning tools
  • Probe and compromise your network using hacking tools to test and improve your security
  • Discover how malicious hackers exploit weaknesses to "own" the network
  • Protect against privilege escalation to prevent intrusions
  • Evade antivirus software, firewalls and IDS

Course Benefits
As network breaches become increasingly sophisticated, proactive defences are essential to counter malicious attacks. In this course, you learn to discover weaknesses in your network using the same mindset and methods as hackers. You acquire the knowledge to systematically test and exploit internal and external defences. You learn countermeasures and how to reduce risk to your enterprise.

Who Should Attend
Security consultants, Information Assurance auditors, firewall/IDS personnel, programmers, PCI security testers and others responsible for securing enterprise systems. Security knowledge at the level of Course 468, "System and Network Security Introduction", and strong TCP/IP experience is assumed.

Hands-on Training
Hands-on exercises model hacking methods and include:
  • Preparing the hacker toolkit
  • Executing advanced port scanning
  • Linking vulnerabilities and exploits
  • Determining the vulnerabilities of a network
  • Performing injection attacks
  • Predicting and hijacking Web sessions
  • Luring clients to hostile servers
  • Configuring and using the Metasploit Framework
  • Defeating stateless firewalls, IDS and antivirus software
  • Deploying rootkits
