This 4-day Ethical Hacking training course is a hands-on journey into the hacking mindset, examining and practically applying the tools and techniques that hackers use to launch “infrastructure” attacks.

Practical exercises reinforce theory as you experiment with a Windows 2008 domain (server and workstation) plus a Linux server.

The course demonstrates hacking techniques - there’s no better way to understand attacks than by doing them yourself - but this is always done with defence in mind and countermeasures are discussed throughout. The course is therefore suited to system administrators, IT security officers and budding penetration testers.

Delegates who successfully complete the exam included at the end of the training course will be awarded the Certified Security Testing Associate (CSTA) qualification. CSTA, along with CSTP, is an ideal preparation towards the CREST Registered Tester qualification.

 University-accredited training. Authored by experts.
