The goal is to provide a solid foundation in network security by teaching you how to think like an attacker. You'll learn to identify vulnerabilities and secure systems before malicious hackers can exploit them, a key part of our focus on adaptability.
Ethical hacking is the practice of lawfully testing a network for vulnerabilities with the owner's permission. You'll use the same tools as malicious hackers, but your purpose is to find and fix security flaws. This requires great integrity.
You'll gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools for network scanning, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing. We will cover tools like Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit.
Some prior IT or networking knowledge is helpful, but the course is designed for those new to cybersecurity. It focuses on the practical application of concepts to build a strong foundation for your career.
