Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)

About this programme

The Certificate in Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) is a professional cyber security programme designed to provide students with practical knowledge and technical skills required to identify, analyse, and mitigate security vulnerabilities within computer systems and networks. This course introduces the concepts, tools, and methodologies used by ethical hackers and security professionals to evaluate organisational security. Students learn about reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, network scanning, system exploitation, web server security, wireless security, cryptography, malware analysis concepts, and penetration testing techniques. Through practical demonstrations and hands-on activities, learners develop the ability to understand cyber attacks from an ethical perspective and apply appropriate security measures to protect digital assets. The programme also covers essential defensive technologies such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, intrusion prevention systems, and security monitoring techniques. Successful completion of this course provides students with a strong foundation for cyber security careers and prepares them for advanced certifications, professional training programmes, and academic pathways in information security Module 01: Introduction to Ethical Hacking Module 02: Footprinting Module 03: Google Hacking Module 04: Scanning Module 05: Windows Hacking Module 06: Linux Hacking Module 07: Trojans and Backdoors Module 08: Viruses and Worms Module 09: Proxy Servers and Packet Filtering Module 10: Denial of Service (DoS) Module 11: Sniffing Networks Module 12: Social Networking Security Module 13: Physical Security Module 14: Cryptography Module 15: Wireless Hacking Module 16: Firewalls and Honeypots Module 17: Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Module 18: Vulnerability Assessment Module 19: Session Hijacking Module 20: Hacking Web Servers Module 21: Steganography Module 22: Basics of Penetration Testing
