Ethical Hacking

Is your IT system truly secure? There’s only one way to find out: learn to think like a hacker and test it yourself! You’ll start by understanding how to find vulnerabilities through techniques like footprinting, scanning, enumeration, and fuzzing. Then you’ll discover how to exploit them—and importantly, how to protect against exploits—whether you’re dealing with brute-force attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, social engineering, or any of the other threats out there. With integrated QR codes that connect you to supplemental video tutorials and hands-on exercises, this comprehensive guide will have you hacking in no time.

• Get a deep dive into ethical hacking and professional pentesting
• Learn key techniques: reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, cryptography, and password cracking, and more
• Create a hacking lab to simulate real threat scenarios and put theory into practice

You'll learn about:

• The Hacking Lifecycle:
  From reconnaissance and scanning to exploitation, privilege escalation, and report writing, walk through the phases of a professional penetration test. Understand the ethical and legal foundations of white hat hacking and pentesting.
• Models, Frameworks, and Standards:
  Get a thorough grounding in information security models and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and zero trust. Learn about professional pentesting standards like PTES, NIST, OWASP, and more.
• Hacking Challenges:
  Test your skills with real-world scenarios! Gather intelligence through open-source research, exploit vulnerabilities such as XSS and SQL injection, perform password cracking and cryptographic analysis, and understand social engineering, malware, and covert communication.
