EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker - v13 - Exam preparation

Sep 2, 2026

Uploaded by Eliana

Training program covering the complete workflow of ethical hacking, from initial information security foundations and legal considerations through practical pre-attack reconnaissance, network scanning, and service enumeration. Includes vulnerability analysis and assessment tools, system hacking methodologies (including steganography and steganalysis), and coverage of malware threats such as Trojans, worms, APT, and fileless malware with analysis and defenses. Further modules address packet sniffing, social engineering, DoS/DDoS auditing and countermeasures, firewall/IDS/honeypot evasion, web application and SQL injection attacks, mobile and IoT/OT hacking, cloud security, and cryptography.
