“Learn How to Think Like a Hacker to Defend Like a Pro”

Part of the CSRP Bootcamp | Phase 3 – Advanced Cybersecurity

Target Audience: Aspiring cybersecurity analysts and penetration testers with foundational knowledge in networking, operating systems, and Python security. This course focuses on offensive security tactics, ethical hacking methodologies, and penetration testing skills to identify and mitigate system vulnerabilities.
Course Duration: 18 Lessons (84 Total Hours)

12 Instructor-Led Lessons: 4 hours each (48 hours)
6 Asynchronous Self-Study Lessons: 6 hours each (36 hours)
Course Format: Blended Learning (Instructor-Led + Self-Study)
Outcome: Gain hands-on experience in ethical hacking, vulnerability exploitation, and penetration testing, preparing for advanced roles in cybersecurity and ethical hacking certifications (e.g., CEH, OSCP).

Course Overview:

The Ethical Hacking course dives deep into the world of offensive security, teaching students how to think and act like a hacker to uncover system vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. Students will master ethical hacking techniques, learn to conduct penetration tests, and use industry-standard tools to strengthen organizational defenses.

By the end of this course, students will:
✔ Understand the ethical hacking process and its role in cybersecurity
✔ Master tools used by professional penetration testers (Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, etc.)
✔ Conduct vulnerability assessments and exploit development
✔ Execute web application, network, and wireless penetration tests
✔ Build the foundation for certifications like CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) and OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional)

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

Plan and execute penetration tests using the penetration testing lifecycle
Identify and exploit common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10, CVEs)
Use tools like Metasploit, Wireshark, Burp Suite, and Nmap for reconnaissance, scanning, and exploitation
Develop and deploy custom scripts for ethical hacking using Python
Document findings and create professional penetration testing reports
