Certified Ethical Hacker™ explores the existence and use of hacking tools and security systems across 21 topical domains. Within each domain, students are presented with several tools that a hacker can use, and with the countermeasures that are most effective against their use.
• Footprinting Techniques
• Scanning
• Enumeration
• System Hacking
• Trojans and Backdoors
• Sniffers
• Denial of Service
• Social Engineering
• Session Hijacking
• CEH Hacking Web Servers
• Web Application Vulnerabilities |
• Ethics and Legal Issues
• Web Based Password Cracking
• SQL Injection
• Hacking Wireless Networks
• Virus and Worms
• Hacking Novell
• Hacking Linux
• IDS, Firewalls and Honeypots
• Buffer Overflows
• Cryptography
• Penetration Testing Methodologies |
Students begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work, and then move on toscanning and attacking their own networks. They learn about Escalated Privileges, Intrusion Detection, DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows, and Virus Creation.
Computers around the world are systematically being victimized by rampant hacking.This hacking is not only widespread, but is being executed so flawlessly that the attackers compromise a system, steal everything of value and completely erase their tracks within 20 minutes.
The goal of the ethical hacker is to help the organization take preemptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system himself; all the while staying within legal limits. This philosophy stems from the proven practice of trying to catch a thief, by thinking like a thief. As technology advances and organization depend on technology increasingly, information assets have evolved into critical components of survival.
If hacking involves creativity and thinking 'out-of-the-box', then vulnerability testing and security audits will not ensure the security proofing of an organization.To ensure that organizations have adequately protected their information assets,they must adopt the approach of 'defense in depth'. In other words, they must penetrate their networks and assess the security posture for vulnerabilities and exposure.
The definition of an Ethical Hacker is very similar to a Penetration Tester. The Ethical Hacker is an individual who is usually employed with the organization and who can be trusted to undertake an attempt to penetrate networks and/or computer systems using the same methods as a Hacker. Hacking is a felony in the United States and most other countries. When it is done by request and under a contract between an Ethical Hacker and an organization, it is legal. The most important point is that an Ethical Hacker has authorization to probe the target.
The CEH Program certifies individuals in the specific network security discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor neutral perspective. The Certified Ethical Hacker certification will fortify the application knowledge of security officers, auditors,security professionals, site administrators, and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure. A Certified Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker.
