Course overview

A hands-on ethical hacking course taught entirely inside a controlled lab environment. The course follows the standard attack lifecycle footprinting, scanning, enumeration, exploitation, privilege escalation, persistence and reporting with each phase practised against deliberately vulnerable targets.

Learners maintain a lab of Kali Linux, Metasploitable, DVWA and Windows targets, and produce a written assessment report at the end.

Who it is for
  • IT and network administrators
  • Security analysts and SOC trainees
  • Developers who need attacker perspective
  • Students preparing for CEH-style exams
Prerequisites
Networking fundamentals and basic Linux command line.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
Final project
Full Assessment of the Lab Network with Report
