This boot camp teaches you how to use the tools and techniques used by cybercriminals to perform a white-hat, ethical hack on your organization. You’ll learn ethical hacking methodologies and gain hands-on hacking experience in our cloud-hosted cyber range, including reconnaissance, gaining access to systems, exploiting vulnerabilities and exfiltrating data.

You’ll leave with the ability to quantitatively assess and measure threats to information assets — and discover where your organization is most vulnerable to hacking. This boot camp also prepares you to earn two in-demand certifications: EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and CompTIA PenTest+.

• Five days of hands-on ethical hacking training
• Infosec proprietary digital courseware (physical textbooks available to purchase)
• EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) exam voucher
• CompTIA PenTest+ exam voucher
• Immediate access to in-depth ethical hacking pre-study course
• 90-day access to cyber range (Flex Pro)
• 90-day access to replays of daily lessons (Flex Pro)
• Curated videos from other top-rated instructors (add-on)
• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
• Exam Pass Guarantee (Flex Pro)

Hundreds of exercises in over 20 separate hands-on labs bring you up to speed with the latest threats to which your organization is most vulnerable. Practice penetration testing in our virtualized environment that simulates a full range of servers and services used in a real company. Learn how to  compromise web servers, virtual machines, databases, routers and firewalls, and then put it all together in an unscripted evening Capture the Flag (CTF) exercise.

CTF exercises are an opportunity for you to practice your hacking skills in a real-world environment. Infosec sets up a mock company that you can freely attack without having to worry about damaging production systems. The purpose of the CTF exercises is to ensure you understand how to apply the skills you learned during the day to a real-world, ethical hacking scenario.

• Security analysts
• Security consultants
• Security researchers
• Anyone with a desire to learn about ethical hacking
  and develop their penetration testing skills

• Firm understanding of the Windows Operating System
• Exposure to the Linux Operating System or other Unix-based operating system
• Grasp of the TCP/IP protocols

Infosec is an authorized training partner of EC-Council and CompTIA, and we’ve won awards from both organizations for our boot camps. We go beyond the material covered in the CEH and PenTest+ to provide you with a well-rounded set of hacking and pentesting skills.

The EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and CompTIA PenTest+ are two of the most in-demand hacking certifications. Infosec instructors found around 80% of the material overlaps and students get the best value by training for both certifications at the same time.

We don’t just have great instructors, our instructors have years of industry experience and are recognized as experts. Infosec instructors have authored two of the top network security and ethical hacking books.

Over 98% of Infosec students attending our Ethical Hacking Boot Camp rate it 10 out of 10 stars. Students often report this is the best IT course they have ever attended, even those with over 20 years of experience in the IT field.

Day 3

After gathering information about your target system, you will put all that hard work to use when you learn how to exploit those vulnerabilities. You will learn the skills to demonstrate a successful exploit of a vulnerability as well as how to gather additional credentials to exploit vulnerabilities in other systems. You will also learn useful social engineering techniques, including phishing, and methods of attacking physical security.

Lectures include:

• Vulnerability life cycles
