PCT-230 Ethical Hacking

An introductory course to familiarize students with the latest tools and techniques used in penetration testing. Students will learn the methodologies used to ethically conduct all phases of a penetration test, including information gathering/reconnaissance, footprinting, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, privilege escalation, and reporting. Students perform tailored lab assignments to learn how to use the tools necessary to complete each penetration test phase. Additional topics include Linux commands for pen-testing, open-source intelligence, OWASP top 10, reverse engineering, writing a proof of concepts, and exploit development. This course is practical driven, requiring students to apply what they have learned to conduct penetration testing objectives.
