About Ethical Hacking  course 

The act of employing hacking techniques to find and fix security flaws in computer systems and networks is known as ethical hacking, commonly referred to as "white hat" hacking. Before malevolent hackers may take advantage of security issues, ethical hackers are permitted to do security assessments on behalf of a company. This helps to discover and reduce security risks.

Syllabus of Ethical Hacking course 

1. Introduction to ethical hacking: This module will provide an overview of ethical hacking, including its goals, principles, and legal and ethical considerations.

2. Footprinting and reconnaissance: This module will cover techniques for gathering information about a target system or network, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), social engineering, and passive and active scanning.

3. Scanning and enumeration: This module will cover techniques for identifying open ports, running services, and operating systems on a target system or network, and for mapping the network topology.

4. Vulnerability assessment: This module will cover techniques for identifying and assessing security vulnerabilities in a target system or network, including manual and automated vulnerability scanning, and vulnerability management tools.

5. Exploitation: This module will cover techniques for exploiting security vulnerabilities in a target system or network, including privilege escalation, buffer overflow attacks, and other types of attacks.

6. Post-exploitation: This module will cover techniques for maintaining access to a target system or network after an initial compromise, including backdoors, rootkits, and other techniques.

7. Web application hacking: This module will cover techniques for identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other types of attacks.

8. Wireless network hacking: This module will cover techniques for identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in wireless networks, including Wi-Fi hacking and Bluetooth hacking.

9. Cryptography: This module will cover the principles of cryptography, including encryption and decryption, cryptographic algorithms, and common cryptographic protocols.

10. Social engineering: This module will cover the principles of social engineering, including human psychology, deception techniques, and how to defend against social engineering attacks.

11. Penetration testing: This module will cover the principles of penetration testing, including scoping, methodology, reporting, and legal and ethical considerations.

How does Ethical Hacking works:

While employing the same methods and resources as malevolent hackers, ethical hackers do so specifically to find and fix security flaws in computer systems and networks.

Usually, the following steps are included in the ethical hacking process:

Planning and scoping: The ethical hacker collaborates with the organisation to establish the parameters of the security analysis as well as the particular networks and systems that will be put to the test.

Intelligence gathering: The ethical hacker employs instruments and methods to discover details about the networks and systems under test, including IP addresses, operating systems, and software.

Vulnerability scanning: To find risks identified in the networks and the systems being evaluated, cyber attackers employ automated technologies.

Exploitation: The ethical hacker tries to use vulnerabilities they have found to obtain unauthorised access to the systems and networks they are testing.

Reporting: The ethical hacker presents an in-depth analysis of the security flaws and suggestions for preventing 

Reporting: The ethical hacker presents an in-depth analysis of the security flaws and suggestions for preventing 

Remediation: The company makes use of the report to repair the security flaws that were discovered and raise the general level of security on its systems and networks.

It's crucial to remember that ethical hacking should only be done with the owner of the computer system or network being tested's full consent and authority. Unauthorized hacking, commonly referred to as "black hat" hacking, is prohibited and carries serious repercussions, such as the possibility of being charged with a crime and/or serving time in jail.
