Ethical hacking is a subject that has become very important in present-day context, and can help individuals and organizations to adopt safe practices and usage of their IT infrastructure. Starting from the basic topics like networking, network security and cryptography, the course will cover various attacks and vulnerabilities and ways to secure them.

Course Layout:

• Week 1:   Introduction to ethical hacking. Fundamentals of computer networking. TCP/IP protocol stack.
• Week 2:   IP addressing and routing. TCP and UDP. IP subnets.
• Week 3:   Routing protocols. IP version 6.
• Week-4:   Installation of attacker and victim system. Information gathering using advanced google search, archive.org, netcraft, whois, host, dig, dnsenum and NMAP tool.
• Week-5:  Vulnerability scanning using NMAP and Nessus. Creating a secure hacking environment System Hacking: password cracking, privilege escalation, application execution. Malware and Virus. ARP spoofing and MAC attack.
• Week 6:   Introduction to cryptography, private-key encryption, public-key encryption.
• Week 7:   Cryptographic hash functions, digital signature and certificate, applications.
• Week 8:   Steganography, biometric authentication, network-based attacks, DNS and Email security.
• Week-9:   Packet sniffing using wireshark and burpsuite, password attack using burp suite. Social engineering attacks and Denial of service attacks.
• Week 10: Elements of hardware security: side-channel attacks, physical inclinable functions, hardware trojans.
• Week-11: Different types of attacks using Metasploit framework: password cracking, privilege escalation, remote code execution, etc.Attack on web servers: password attack, SQL injection, cross site scripting.
• Week 12: Case studies: various attacks scenarios and their remedies.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE:

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100
