This class will immerse the student into an interactive environment where they will be shown how to scan, test, hack and secure their own systems. The lab intensive environment gives each student in-depth knowledge and practical experience with the current essential security systems. 

Students begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and are then 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 leaves this intensive 5 day class they will have hands on understanding and experience in Ethical Hacking. The course prepares the student for the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker exam 312-50.
 

Who Should Attend

This course will significantly benefit security officers, auditors, security professionals, site administrators, and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure.
 

Certification

The  will be conducted on the last day of training. Students need to pass the online Certified Ethical Hacker certification Prometric exam 312-50 exam to receive CEH certification.
 

Legal Agreement

The Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures course mission is to educate, introduce and demonstrate hacking tools for penetration testing purposes only. Prior to attending this course, you will be asked to sign an agreement stating that you will not use these newly acquired skills for illegal or malicious attacks or in an attempt to compromise any computer system, and to indemnify EC-Council with respect to the use or misuse of these tools, regardless of intent.

Not anyone can be a student - applicants must work for legitimate companies.
