Ethical Hacking and Network Forensics Analysis combine the skills of capturing suspicious data and discerning suspicious patterns hidden within seemingly normal network traffic. This course provides the student with a set of investigation techniques focusing on the use of vendor-neutral, Open-Source Tools to offer insight into the following areas:

• Specialized Ethical Hacking techniques, including reconnaissance scanning and recognizing Indicators of Compromise (IoC), suspicious data traffic reconstruction, and viewing hidden details.
• Forensics Analysis fundamentals, data-mining, and an introduction to the science of Open-Source Intelligence collection and Network security principles, including encryption technologies and defensive configurations of network infrastructure devices.
• Indication of Compromise (IoC) and threat recognition for a variety of network attack and exploit scenarios, including reconnaissance techniques, intrusion and exploit methodologies, Bot-Net threat recognition, as well as standard user protocol vulnerabilities, including many IP related Protocols such as IPv4/v6 / TCP, DNS/DNSSec, ARP, ICMPv4/v6, and an introduction to Voice / Video over IP and Wireless Networking technologies
• Real-World examples are utilized throughout the course in conjunction with numerous hands-on exercises to provide field-proven, practical analysis skills. Attendees receive a student guide including multiple reference files, networking and forensics tools, and a library of reference documents.
