Ethical Hacker Training Focus Of Institute

In response to a growing need to combat illegal hacking, Halock Security Labs announces the opening of the Institute 4 Ethical Hacking (I4EH). The Institute's first offering will be an instructor-lead, hands-on course that empowers students to evaluate the security posture of their company using the tools and techniques employed by black hats, giving them an understanding of the real-world threats that their company's assets face while helping them to level the playing field in this 'war' between white hats and black hats.

"The subject of hacking has so captivated this country, that even Hollywood has made a cottage industry out of hacker-themed movies. War Games, Swordfish, Hackers, Sneakers, the list goes on. Ironically, the launch of the Institute coincides with the release of the new movie Untraceable," said Terry Kurzynski, Halock CEO. "But these threats are very real and have cost U.S. businesses millions over the years. Ethical hacking is all about leveling the playing field, and we are arming corporate America with real fire power against this threat."

"It's imperative that our students understand not only the technologies and techniques used by sophisticated hackers today, but also the mindset and motivation of these attackers," said Dan Simon, Institute trainer and certified ethical hacker.

Students will learn to use the tools of the hacking trade to understand how black hats gather intelligence about an organization, enumerate potential targets, and exploit systems to provide access to the internal resources of a company's IT infrastructure.

"We are an EC-Council Authorized Training Center, but what really sets us apart is the fact that our instructors are in the trenches everyday working to protect our clients' assets,” Kurzynski said. "We've gone beyond the basic curriculum with the help of some very skilled white hats, giving corporate IT professionals a leg up against the dark side. It's the classic 'good versus evil' conflict."

Topics covered in I4EH's Ethical Hacker training include public information gathering, passive scanning and foot-printing of systems, active scanning and enumeration of systems, services, and related vulnerabilities, exploitation of known vulnerabilities, expansion of access and establishing covert access channels on exploited systems. Students will also learn how an attacker evaluates a target using public information and competitive intelligence gathering.

The five day Ethical Hacker training course is limited to only 10 students and is heavily participatory, with frequent hands-on activities and demonstrations. Certification prep and a voucher for the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures exam are provided on the fifth day of class.
