What is the course’s objective?

The course aims to cover the essential skills, knowledge, and best practices in the field of ethical hacking. The course will also introduce relevant methodologies and writing skills to make sure students can write professional, valuable, and influential products and to better their communication with managers, CEOs and other cybersecurity professionals in organisations.

What will I be learning?

In this highly intensive training, all the required skills for a beginner hacker are comprehensively addressed: from reconnaissance, through penetration techniques and methods, to more advanced topics such as reverse engineering. The program further elaborates on the fundamentals by reviewing offensive aspects of System, Network, Mobile, Web, Application and more. The realm of Ethical Hacking is composed of various topics which require extensive knowledge in each. In this training, you will be introduced to all the core foundations as well as a business understanding of communication and processes of ethical hacking.

What are the aims of the programme? 

This hands-on rich programme combines class-and-home based practice and demos as well as through our unique lab platform and is aimed:

1. To provide extensive theoretical and practical training in PT for students who are familiar with OS, Networking, and programming in Python
2. To prepare students for the OSCP certification (at least six months after graduation)
3. To cover methodological aspects and best-practices in PT to ease the communication with cybersecurity professionals within the and outside of your organisation

What are the entry requirements?

You will not be tested on these requirements for enrollment. However, we emphasise that without background knowledge, it will be challenging to keep up with materials covered throughout the course and even more challenging to pass the final exam. The following core knowledge branches are required:

1. Practical knowledge and experience in IT systems.
2. Working knowledge of IP, TCP, and other networking concepts.
3. Working knowledge of the foundations of Windows-based Environments.
4. Working knowledge in Linux terminals (i.e. bash, sh, zsh or any other).
5. Preferably any of the following programming languages Python/C/ASM/Ruby.

No mathematical or academic background is required.

Will I be a Hacker at the end? 

Hacking is a multidisciplinary profession and contains all sorts of specialisations. This course is intended to give the learner solid foundations (both technical and methodological) in the main branches of PT. After the course, the graduate will have a good understanding of how hackers conceptualise and approach cybersecurity challenges, and allow him or her to further explore the field by taking more specific training in the field. After the course, you will be able to take other forms of training which assumes the background covered in this unique training.

What will my organisation benefit from hiring someone who graduated from the course? 

An attackers’ perspective is different from that of a SOC operator. This training will not only allow for basic penetration testing skills but also enable Blue Teamers or SOC operators to excel in their day to day operations knowing what are the steps of an attack and how it can manifest in various EDR and other telemetries they might have.

The programme is designed to transform IT professionals, into offensive security personnel. It will train your SOC operators to look at things from a hacker’s perspective. Your web application testers will understand what other attack vectors they can use and. In short, your employee will have a broader, sophisticated and multidisciplinary approach to tackle real-life problems, no matter what field of cybersecurity he or she is in (defence, SOC, CSP etc.)

What are the pedagogical requirements of the course? 

1. 2 hours of homework after each class
2. Final Exam: The final exam will be delivered at the end of the course. Students must achieve a ‘pass’ to get a graduation diploma.
3. Attendance in at least 80 per cent of the lectures.

However, to be honest, the most basic and mandatory requirement is the willingness and desire to learn, evolve and consume information.

What is the format of the course?

This is a very intensive, hands-on rich 40-hours Bootcamp held over five consecutive days (8 hours per day). At the 5th day, the final exam will be delivered. The course will be held for the first time in Sukhumvit, Bangkok, in live, frontal sessions.

What will I get? 

Live sessions with one of Israel’s best hackers, original and prestigious certification from See Security International Cyber College, original slides from lecturers and access to our unique lab platform for hands-on practice. Students can record the sessions if they wish.
