Individual Course Descriptions

1. Ethical Hacking

As an ethical hacker, you need to be able to use the same techniques and skills as the bad guys to help your clients understand how to stay secure. In this course, you'll learn the hacking fundamentals and methods real attackers use to penetrate networks and computer systems. This course will give you a chance to look inside the mind of a hacker and introduces you to the world of professional penetration testing.

2. Penetration Testing

In this course, you will explore all facets of penetration testing, including both client side and web application pen testing. By course conclusion, you will be able to find the cracks and vulnerabilities in a network before an intruder does. Real-world and online pen testing are covered in these modules that explain hidden attacks and exploits. Interactive environments give hands-on experience and will be the differentiators on whether or not a breach is successful.

3. Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering is a critical skill in understanding how malware is created and what it is capable of. In this course, you will learn about the tools and techniques used in professional reverse engineering and malware analysis. You will gain the ability to understand the methodology behind other hacker's attacks, and recreate it into your own. The class is set up in a way that no background in software engineering is necessary.

4. Digital Forensics

Knowing how to determine the compromise of a system teaches you how to hide your tracks more effectively. This course is taught by some of the luminaries of the forensics world who bring real-world experience and stories directly to you, providing a wide background of digital forensics techniques, including recovery and investigation.

5. Cutting Edge

Here is where you will find all of the latest lessons at The Hacker Academy before they are added to the standard course curriculum. The content found in these lessons is largely driven by what is going on "out in the wild." This information shared here enables you to keep up with the latest threats and vulnerabilities and protect both your personal and company networks.

Certification: Certifications of Completion can be issued for CPEs/CEUs
