Hacking & Countermeasures is a two-day, lab intensive network security-training course covering techniques in system compromise and countermeasures. This course is not intended to be a "Learn How To Hack" course; rather it is designed to teach participants what hackers are doing and what can be done to thwart their efforts.
Students will get an understanding of the various tools at a hacker's disposal, as well as many of the social engineering techniques that hackers engage in to get information about companies and their networks. After exploring the vulnerabilities that hackers exploit, students will be introduced to some of the tools and techniques that are at their disposal to prevent attacks. Some of these tools include detecting attacks in computer logs, tips on how to secure computers, how to obtain some of the tools students need to defend themselves, and how to use encryption and digital signature technologies to keep private data secure and verify the authenticity of messages.
Those responsible with the protection and security of data networks including system administrators, security staff, firewall administrators, network engineers and network consultants.
Network Security Issues
This section is an introduction to some of the security issues we face today. Figures from several sources are presented to put the importance of security into perspective. Also included in this section are demonstrations of sites that have been attacked.
General Hacking Techniques
This is an overview of some of the techniques and tools available to the hacker and how the hacker would deploy them. Also, sources that the hacker would use to obtain these tools are revealed. Other issues discussed here include: activities in which computer hackers engage and what kind of information is of interest to a hacker.
Exploiting Vulnerabilities
In this portion of the presentation, network attacks that exploit system weaknesses are explored. Also, a step-by-step analysis of specific network attacks is covered. Live demonstrations are used to show how vulnerabilities can be exploited.
Detection and Assessment Tools
Various detection and assessment tools are discussed in this section including free ware tools administrators can download and implement immediately. Live demonstrations show how to obtain, install and deploy these tools that an important part of maintaining personal and network security.
Risk Management
This section you will learn how to minimize the threats and prevent losses due to various network and host attacks. You will learn about the various products that help you with risk management.
- Knowledge of inter networking concepts, networking concepts and topologies
- Understanding of TCP/IP, network addressing, and subnet masks
- Understanding of the OSI model
