Ethical Hacking

What is Ethical Hacking?

Ethical Hacking is NOT about randomly downloading readymade tools from the Internet and blindly using them to attack computer systems.

Ethical Hacking is a scientific approach to understanding the tools, techniques and methodologies used by malicious hackers, thereby evaluating and mitigating the enormous threat posed by them.

Career Prospect

The contract amount for IBM’s Ethical Hacking typically ranges from $15,000 to $45,000 for a standalone ethical hack. Taxes and applicable travel and living expenses are extra.

This is a small proof that Corporates and Governments around the world are today spending millions of dollars to hire skilled Ethical Hackers.

There is a huge demand for professional ethical hackers and the opportunities are unlimited. Professional ethical hackers can make a highly lucrative career for themselves in this field.

Course Methodology
The ASCL Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) course is an innovative mix of:
    · Highly interactive lectures,
    · Real world demonstrations,
    · Simulation based practical sessions,
   · Case study based assignments

1. Learning Outcomes

This section outlines what a student will be able to accomplish after completing the session.

2. Theoretical Concepts

This section contains the theoretical concepts and background information which the student is required to understand. This section may also contain hyperlinks to additional reference material. Students are strongly advised to read this information prior to attending the classroom session. This will ensure a highly interactive classroom discussion.

3. Demonstration

This section gives an overview of topics that will be demonstrated, by the faculty, during the classroom session.

4. Practical Exercise

This section outlines the practical exercise that students must complete during the class. This session may also mention the hardware, software and other requirements for completing the exercise.

5. Assignments

This session outlines the assignments that the student must complete without any assistance from the faculty member. These assignments should be attempted only after the student has attended the classroom session, understood the theoretical concepts and attended the demonstration.

Some of the assignments will be automatically assessed by ASCL’ s patent pending “Cyber Learning System” and the results will be automatically emailed to the student, his faculty and the ASCL examination division.

In some cases, the assessments will require the students to submit reports to the faculty. Students are recommended to submit such reports in soft copy in Ms Word, HTML or PDF format.
