Hackers in the sense of IT security deal with the security mechanisms of computer systems and their vulnerabilities. This course is exclusively aimed at white-hat hackers, i.e. people who will use the knowledge within the laws and hacker ethics - in contrast to grey-hat or black-hat hackers.
Important: The information from the course may not be used to harm other people.
In this course, participants are put in the perspective of an attacker in order to see the dangers for insufficiently secured data in various attack scenarios - and of course how such attacks can be defended against.
More specifically, the course examines the following content, among others:
- Storage of passwords, how they are cracked and what protective measures can be taken
- Process of a professional hacker attack, for example with network hacking
- Tools for securing computer systems
- Creation of movement profiles from metadata and how control over them can be regained
- Creation of keyloggers, how they are used and how a person can protect themselves from them
- Information about how a browser stores sensitive data and how an attacker can read it out
- Possibilities and dangers of a man-in-the-middle attack (MITM)
- Conducting your own MITM attack using your own proxy for content manipulation
- Handling Kali Linux for hacking
- Penetration tests
For each topic, practical workshops show how experienced hackers penetrate a system and what damage they can cause. To understand their procedures, corresponding hacking tools are independently developed with the easy-to-learn but powerful programming language Python. This deepens the theoretical course content and participants see in detail how they can protect themselves from possible attacks. Last but not least, the tools can also be adapted for your own projects, for example penetration tests.
This course is therefore optimally designed for aspiring white-hats, penetration testers, programmers with a focus on IT security and other cybersecurity enthusiasts.
No prior knowledge in Python is necessary, but some basic network knowledge is required.
