Course Prerequisites

No prior ethical hacking experience is required, but having the following knowledge will be helpful:

  • Basic understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS).
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity principles and basic information security concepts.
  • Some exposure to operating systems (Windows, Linux) will be beneficial.
  • While prior technical experience is not mandatory, the course assumes a general understanding of IT systems and networks.

Learning Objectives

The Ethical Hacking Essentials (E|HE) training course provides a comprehensive introduction to the world of ethical hacking. Designed for beginners and aspiring cybersecurity professionals, this course covers fundamental ethical hacking techniques, tools, and methodologies used by ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities and prevent attacks.

Key topics include:

  • Introduction to Ethical Hacking: Understand the role of ethical hacking in cybersecurity, the different types of hackers, and the legal and ethical considerations involved in ethical hacking.
  • Penetration Testing Fundamentals: Learn the core principles of penetration testing, including the phases of an ethical hack—reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and covering tracks.
  • Networking and Security Fundamentals: Review essential networking concepts and how they relate to ethical hacking, including network topologies, protocols, and common vulnerabilities.
  • Vulnerability Assessment Tools and Techniques: Gain hands-on experience using industry-standard tools such as Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit for scanning, identifying, and exploiting vulnerabilities.
  • Operating System Hacking: Understand how to exploit vulnerabilities in Windows and Linux systems and mitigate common attacks.
  • Web Application Security: Learn how to perform security assessments on web applications, identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), and apply remediation techniques.
  • Risk Management and Reporting: Understand the importance of reporting vulnerabilities, risk assessment, and remediation strategies in ethical hacking engagements.

After completing this course, you'll be well-equipped to take the Ethical Hacking Essentials (E|HE) certification exam and begin your career in ethical hacking. This certification will demonstrate your ability to use ethical hacking tools and techniques to protect systems from cyber threats.
