Overview
What you will learn:
The main activity of the Ethical Hacking I course, provided by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, is a project where students independently attack a corporate computer network with the aim of exfiltrating specific information. The network is rigged by the course responsibles in a virtual environment. To carry out the attack, the students are free to use their imagination and tools available on Internet. Tools for network and vulnerability scanning, platforms for exploit development, command and control, passwork creacking, etc. are presented during the course, but students are free to employ methods and tools of their own choice.
Ethical hackers are contracted for practical assessment of computer network security. Furthermore, for an effective defense against cyber attacks, a deep understanding of attackers' available range of action is required.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
After passing the course, the student should, at an introductory level and for limited environments, be able to:
