Description
Advanced Ethical Hacking Workshop Module
This advanced workshop builds upon fundamental ethical hacking concepts, diving deeper into real-world attack scenarios, advanced exploitation techniques, and cybersecurity defense strategies. Participants will work with professional-grade tools and frameworks while understanding how to think like a hacker to strengthen security systems.
The session begins with an in-depth discussion on ethical hacking methodologies, legal considerations, and industry best practices. The importance of red teaming, blue teaming, and purple teaming in cybersecurity is explored, setting the stage for a hands-on approach to offensive and defensive security.
The reconnaissance phase expands beyond basic information gathering, introducing advanced OSINT techniques, social engineering reconnaissance, and network fingerprinting. Participants will learn to extract hidden information, analyze metadata, and leverage threat intelligence platforms. Automated reconnaissance using scripting and tools like Maltego, SpiderFoot, and theHarvester will be demonstrated.
In the scanning and enumeration phase, participants will explore network mapping with advanced Nmap scripting, stealth scanning, and vulnerability analysis using tools like OpenVAS and Burp Suite. Enumeration techniques will include SMB, LDAP, and DNS zone transfers. The session covers evasion techniques to bypass firewalls and intrusion detection systems while conducting network scans.
Gaining access moves beyond basic exploits, focusing on real-world attack vectors such as buffer overflows, privilege escalation, and advanced web application attacks. Participants will perform hands-on exploitation using Metasploit, exploit development with Python, and fuzzing techniques to discover vulnerabilities. Advanced password cracking methods, including GPU-based attacks and rainbow tables, will be demonstrated.
Maintaining access explores advanced persistence techniques used by sophisticated threat actors. Topics include rootkits, keyloggers, and trojan development. Post-exploitation strategies such as lateral movement, credential dumping, and privilege escalation will be covered. Participants will also learn how to create custom payloads and bypass endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.
Covering tracks includes anti-forensic techniques such as timestomping, log tampering, and stealth malware. Participants will analyze real-world case studies of cybercriminals evading detection. The importance of threat hunting and incident response will be highlighted, along with methods for forensic analysis to detect and trace attacks.
The workshop concludes with red team vs. blue team exercises where participants simulate advanced attacks in a controlled environment while defenders apply threat detection and response strategies. Cybersecurity frameworks such as MITRE ATTACK and NIST will be integrated into the final session, along with career guidance on penetration testing, cybersecurity consulting, and ethical hacking certifications like OSCP and CEH.
