Ten weeks of penetration testing methodology, vulnerability assessment and red-team tooling, practiced entirely in controlled lab environments.
Ethical Hacking builds directly on the foundations from Introduction to Cyber Security, taking you into the offensive side of security — how attackers actually find and exploit weaknesses, so you can find them first.
Every technique is practiced in an isolated lab range, never against live systems. By the end you'll be comfortable running a structured penetration test end-to-end and writing the kind of findings report clients expect from a professional engagement.
Passive and active information gathering on target systems.
Scanning, identifying and prioritizing exploitable weaknesses.
Controlled exploitation techniques using industry-standard tooling.
Writing clear, actionable penetration test findings reports.
The capstone engagement felt exactly like a real client project, findings report and all. That's what got me my current job.
Strictly hands-on, strictly ethical. Faith was clear about legal boundaries from day one, which I appreciated.
