Description
Basic Ethical Hacking Workshop Module
This workshop introduces participants to ethical hacking, focusing on the five fundamental phases of hacking. It provides hands-on experience with various tools and techniques used in cybersecurity while emphasizing ethical and legal considerations.
The session begins with an introduction to ethical hacking, explaining its role in cybersecurity. Participants will learn about the ethical responsibilities of a hacker, legal frameworks, and the importance of penetration testing in securing digital assets.
The first phase, reconnaissance, involves gathering information about a target system. This includes passive and active reconnaissance techniques such as footprinting, OSINT, and network scanning. Participants will explore tools like WHOIS lookup, Shodan, and Google Dorking to understand how attackers gather data before launching an attack.
The second phase, scanning and enumeration, focuses on identifying live systems, open ports, and vulnerabilities. Participants will learn about network scanning tools, including Nmap and Nessus, and how to analyze scan results. The importance of enumeration in extracting system details like usernames, shared resources, and services will be covered using SNMP and NetBIOS techniques.
In the third phase, gaining access, participants will understand how attackers exploit vulnerabilities to gain control over a system. This includes demonstrations of common attack vectors such as password cracking, exploiting software vulnerabilities, and SQL injection. The use of tools like Metasploit for penetration testing will be explored, along with best practices for securing systems against unauthorized access.
The fourth phase, maintaining access, highlights how attackers establish persistence within a system. Participants will be introduced to techniques like backdoors, rootkits, and privilege escalation. The discussion will also cover defense mechanisms to detect and prevent persistent threats.
The final phase, covering tracks, focuses on how attackers erase evidence of their activities to avoid detection. This includes log manipulation, file deletion, and anti-forensic techniques. The importance of system monitoring, log analysis, and security incident response will be discussed to help organizations detect and respond to attacks effectively.
The workshop concludes with a practical session where participants apply their knowledge in a controlled environment. They will perform reconnaissance, scanning, and penetration testing while following ethical guidelines. The importance of reporting vulnerabilities and ethical hacking as a career path will be emphasized, along with recommendations for further learning in cybersecurity.
