This one-day course is designed to demonstrate the devices and techniques hackers have at their disposal today. Focus is placed on understanding how the hackers hack and learning how to prevent network attacks and minimize risks. Students will get an understanding of the various tools at a hacker's disposal, as well as many of the social engineering techniques that hackers engage in to get information about companies and their networks. The course has live demonstrations of real hacking tools and information on how the hacker obtains them. After exploring the vulnerabilities that hackers exploit, students will be introduced to some of the tools and techniques that are at their disposal to prevent attacks. Some of these tools include detecting attacks in computer logs, tips on how to secure computers, how to obtain some of the tools students need to defend themselves, and how to use encryption and digital signature technologies to keep private data secure and verify the authenticity of messages.
