Aim & Summary

The course covers a wide range of topics, including reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, exploitation, and post-exploitation techniques. Participants will also explore common vulnerabilities and attack vectors, such as buffer overflows, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and more. Through hands-on labs, simulated scenarios, and practical exercises, participants will develop the skills to conduct ethical hacking assessments, penetration tests, and vulnerability assessments. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to identify security weaknesses and recommend appropriate countermeasures to protect against cyber threats.
