Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) v12

CEHv12 is the latest iteration of EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker series. In this course you will research, discover and scan targets, analyze vulnerabilities and test attack methods and tools. The focus of this course is to solve the challenge of breaking into a target network, collect evidence of success, and escape unnoticed. Every lesson and topic are infused with step-by-step guided practice using real hardware- and software-based hacking tools. Throughout both lecture and hands-on activities, the instructor provides commentary from the field including tips, tricks and hard-learned lessons.

You will learn to hack Windows and Linux systems, enumerate targets, steal information, hide secret messages in plain sight, and cover their tracks. You will crack passwords, intercept transmissions, use malware to compromise services, social engineer the unsuspecting, and sniff, spoof, escalate, and denial-of-service your way to “pwning” a target*. Along with such venerable tools as nmap and netcat, you will learn how to use the Metasploit Framework and Kali Linux to test a wide array of attacks. You will search Exploit-DB, GitHub and other sites for the latest exploit code, using those hacks when existing tools just won’t do.

 * To pwn: (pronounced “pone”). In hacker vernacular, to “punk” and “own” (completely take over) a system.
