The Curriculum of Ethical Hacking is a robust and in-depth course designed to equip learners with practical knowledge and skills in cybersecurity and penetration testing. Beginning with a clear introduction to ethical hacking and its role in modern IT security, the course progresses through foundational concepts such as types of hackers, notable figures in hacking history, and key cybersecurity terminologies.

The course dives deep into technical topics, including the tools and skills necessary for effective ethical hacking. Learners are introduced to reconnaissance and footprinting techniques to gather intelligence on targets, followed by fingerprinting strategies that help in identifying systems and services. The modules on sniffing and sniffing tools provide hands-on insight into network analysis, while ARP and DNS poisoning lessons highlight how attackers manipulate network traffic.

Further into the programme, students explore advanced exploitation tactics, including enumeration, Metasploit framework usage, and various hijacking techniques such as TCP/IP and email hijacking. There is a strong focus on application-level attacks, including password cracking, wireless network intrusion, social engineering, DDoS attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and SQL injection. Each module is designed to reinforce a hacker’s mindset—used ethically—to expose vulnerabilities before malicious attackers can exploit them.

The final lecture on penetration testing consolidates everything learned, guiding students through structured methodologies to test, report, and improve system security. By the end of the course, learners will not only understand how cyberattacks work but will also be prepared to defend against them using industry-standard practices.
