Hacking Overviews: This refers to a general introduction to hacking, which may include its definition, history, and different types of hacking.
Principles of Ethical Hacking: This covers the ethical considerations and principles that guide ethical hackers in their work. These principles include ensuring informed consent, confidentiality, and protecting the systems being tested.
Hacking Methodologies: This refers to the structured approach taken by ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems. It may involve steps like reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and post-exploitation.
Role of Ethical Hackers: This highlights the duties and responsibilities of ethical hackers, including assessing the security of computer systems and networks, identifying vulnerabilities and providing recommendations for improvements.
Scope & Limitations of Hacking: This discusses the boundaries within which ethical hackers should operate, as well as the limitations of their work. For example, ethical hackers may not engage in illegal activities, and their findings may be limited by factors such as time and resources.
Methodologies & Tools: This covers the different tools and techniques used by ethical hackers in their work, such as vulnerability scanners, network sniffers, and password crackers.
Virus Worms & Trojan Concepts: This refers to different types of malicious software that can infect computer systems. A virus is a program that replicates itself and spreads to other systems, while a worm is a self-replicating program that spreads without the need for user interaction. A Trojan is a program that appears to be legitimate but contains hidden malicious functions.
Assignments & Projects: This involves practical exercises and projects that allow students or learners to apply the concepts and techniques learned in ethical hacking. These may include penetration testing assignments or network security projects.
