Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH)

Course Prerequisites

To get the most out of this course, participants should have:

• A basic understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, etc.).
• Familiarity with cybersecurity fundamentals, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and encryption.
• Some experience with Linux/Unix and Windows operating systems (administration, command line skills, etc.).
• While prior ethical hacking experience is not mandatory, participants should have an understanding of IT infrastructure and network protocols.

If you are new to ethical hacking, Cloud360 offers preparatory courses to help you build the foundational skills needed before jumping into the C|EH curriculum.

Learning Objectives

The Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) training course is the gold standard for ethical hacking education. It covers everything from hacking techniques to penetration testing methodologies, equipping you with the tools necessary to perform vulnerability assessments and penetration tests in a variety of environments.

Key topics include:

• Introduction to Ethical Hacking: Understand the legal and ethical implications of hacking, along with the role of ethical hackers in cybersecurity. Learn about the ethical hacking process, different types of hackers, and how to stay within the legal framework.
• Reconnaissance and Footprinting: Learn how to gather information about your target systems using passive and active methods, and use this data to identify vulnerabilities.
• Scanning and Enumeration: Discover how to use network scanning tools like Nmap to identify open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities in a network.
• System Hacking: Explore the methods used to gain unauthorized access to systems, including password cracking, privilege escalation, and maintaining access.
• Malware and Trojan Attacks: Understand how malicious software works, including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and rootkits, and how to protect systems against them.
• Sniffing and Evasion: Learn how to monitor network traffic using packet sniffers and evade detection using anti-forensic techniques.
• Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks: Understand how DoS and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are performed, and how to mitigate them.
• Web Application Hacking: Study common web application vulnerabilities like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and how to exploit and protect against them.
• Wireless Network Hacking: Learn how to exploit vulnerabilities in wireless networks (Wi-Fi), including cracking WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption.
• Penetration Testing Tools: Gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools like Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, and more.
• Reporting and Remediation: Understand how to document findings and prepare reports for clients or internal teams, and learn the best practices for remediating security issues.

After completing this course, you’ll be ready to sit for the Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) exam and gain a globally recognized certification that demonstrates your skills in ethical hacking and penetration testing.
