Foundations of Ethical Hacking

  1. Introduction to Ethical Hacking
    "What is hacking? Types of hackers (Black Hat, White Hat, Grey Hat).\nDifference between ethical hacking and malicious hacking.\nLegal considerations and responsible disclosure.\nOverview of cybersecurity domains."
  2. The Five Phases of Ethical Hacking
    "Reconnaissance (Information Gathering).\nScanning and Enumeration.\nGaining Access.\nMaintaining Access.\nCovering Tracks.\n"
  3. Lab Setup and Environment
    "Introduction to virtual machines (VMware/VirtualBox).\nSetting up Kali Linux and target systems.\nSafe hacking environments for practice."
  4. Information Gathering (Reconnaissance)
    "Open-source intelligence (OSINT).\nWhois, DNS lookups, Google dorking.\nFootprinting tools and techniques."

Practical Ethical Hacking Techniques

  1. Scanning and Vulnerability Assessment
    "Network scanning with Nmap.\nIdentifying open ports and services.\nVulnerability scanning tools (Nessus, OpenVAS basics).\n"
  2. Gaining Access
    "Exploitation basics (using Metasploit Framework).\nCommon vulnerabilities (weak passwords, outdated software, misconfigurations).\nPrivilege escalation concepts.\n"
  3. Maintaining Access and Covering Tracks
    "Understanding persistence methods.\nLog clearing and evidence hiding (conceptual overview only)."
  4. Securing Systems
    "Applying system hardening techniques.\nPatch management and access control.\nIntroduction to firewalls and IDS/IPS systems."
  5. Final Review and Q&A
    "Recap of all ethical hacking phases.\nDiscussion: “How to start your cybersecurity career”.\nRecommended learning path (CEH, CompTIA Security+, ISC² CC, etc.).\n"
