Ethical Hacking Course Online from India

01About the course

What you will learn in Ethical Hacking

Ethical hacking means testing computers, networks and applications with permission, using the same methods a real attacker would, so that weaknesses are found and fixed before someone misuses them. Ethical hackers follow a set process: gather information, scan, enumerate, try to gain access, and then report. This 68-hour course walks through that full process, from footprinting to web, wireless, mobile, IoT and cloud attacks.

This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want Ethical Hacking taught live by a trainer.

You need good computer skills and a basic understanding of networking (IP addresses, ports, common protocols). Familiarity with Windows and Linux commands helps a lot; our Linux and networking courses make a good foundation.
