C|HE v12 Notes
Embarking on the Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) v12 journey has been a challenging yet rewarding experience. As I dive deep into each module, I’m excited to share my notes and insights with you all. Whether you’re just starting or looking to refresh your knowledge, these notes are designed to help break down the key concepts, tools, and techniques covered in the C|EH curriculum.
What to Expect from the Modules
The C|EH v12 course is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of the latest ethical hacking tools and methodologies. From the basics of ethical hacking and information security to advanced penetration testing techniques, each module builds upon the last, creating a solid foundation for aspiring ethical hackers.
Here’s a brief overview of some of the key modules you can expect to see in my notes:
- Introduction to Ethical Hacking: Understanding the fundamental principles, concepts, and terminologies in ethical hacking.
- Footprinting and Reconnaissance: Techniques to gather information about targets, including network and web reconnaissance.
- Scanning Networks: Tools and techniques to identify live systems, open ports, and vulnerabilities.
- Enumeration: Delving deeper into the target to gather usernames, machine names, and network resources.
- Vulnerability Analysis: Identifying security weaknesses in systems and applications.
- System Hacking: Methods to gain unauthorized access, including password cracking and privilege escalation.
- Malware Threats: Understanding different types of malware and their propagation mechanisms.
- Sniffing: Capturing and analyzing data packets to discover sensitive information.
- Social Engineering: Exploiting human psychology to gain access to information or systems.
