Build the skills required to think like an attacker—and defend like a professional—with the Ethical Hacking Specialization. Created for those who want to become ethical hackers, IT professionals, developers, and career changers, this course features simulations of real-world attacks, demonstrations from industry pros, and easy-to-understand definitions that mirror real-life scenarios.
You will begin by understanding hacking and its stages, including key terminologies such as reconnaissance, footprinting, network scanning, and vulnerability scanning. You’ll delve into social engineering, insider threats, typical targets, defense strategies, and methods that pro hackers use for web penetration testing.
The Ethical Hacking Course then moves into system hacking, password attacks, authentication mechanisms, malware threats, firewalls, IDS, honeypots, and IoT architecture. You’ll expand further into cloud computing, virtualization, cloud security controls, mobile and Android vulnerabilities, cryptography, steganography, DoS and DDoS attacks, and SQL injection defense.
The specialization concludes with a guided project and three sets of practice questions. With ethical hacking roles offering salaries above USD 120,000, this specialization prepares you for high-demand cybersecurity careers.
