Abstract

In this Whitehat Hacking and Penetration testing training course, expert Ric Messier covers the essentials you will need to know to harden and protect your hardware and software to avoid downtime and loss of data. Protecting your networks and customer data are more important that ever, and understanding HOW you are vulnerable is the best way to learn how you can prevent attacks. Some of the topics covered in this course are; researching and background information retrieval, networking fundamentals, a deeper look at TCP/IP and packets, as well as understanding cryptography. You will learn about scanning networks, penetration testing and the use of Metasploit, malware and viruses, DoS and DDoS attacks, web application hacking and securing wireless networks. Finally, you will learn about detection evasion and preventing programming attacks, and much more throughout this video based tutorial. By the time you have completed this video tutorial for Whitehat Hacking and Penetration testing, you will have a deeper understanding of the areas you may be potentially be vulnerable to attack in, as well as the methods that hackers use to exploit your systems, allowing you to better understand how to secure your hardware and data from unethical hackers.
