Ethical Hacking & Computer Security 2011

Revolutionary Product

EC-Council releases the most advanced ethical hacking program in the world. This much anticipated version was designed by hackers and security researchers. CEH v7 is a revolutionary training program that combines class metrics, advance lab environment, cutting edge hacking techniques and excellent presentation materials. EC-Council has spent several years in developing this version.

The Certified Ethical Hacker courseware has undergone tremendous improvement from its predecessor. We have invested 4 times the regular investment in the research and development since the last release, and have given CEHv7 a complete makeover.

The new version is a breakaway from earlier releases with more emphasis on techniques and methodologies, which attackers may use to carry out possible attacks against system/networks.

Picture speaks thousand words and we at EC-Council have enforced the saying by practicing it. The instructor slides and student manuals in CEHv7 has it all. The new version empowers the instructor with flawless flow and outstanding diagrammatic representation of the hacking techniques, which makes it easier to teach and enables students to understand the concepts better.
CEHv7 provides a comprehensive ethical hacking and network security-training program to meet the standards of highly skilled security professionals. Hundreds of SMEs and authors have contributed towards the content presented in the CEHv7 courseware. Latest tools and exploits uncovered from the underground community are featured in the new package. Our researchers have invested thousands of man hours researching the latest trends and uncovering the covert techniques used by the underground community.

In addition to the makeover, CEHv7 includes two additional bundles; a Monster Hacking Tool Repository, Codenamed Frankenstein and a subscription based Virtual Lab Environment codenamed iLabs.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein provides user with an ease for searching, downloading and installing the latest hacking and penetration testing tools. By using Frankenstein Version 1.0, users can check the release date of the tool, category under which it is published, probable size of the tool, name of the publisher/author, the website details and technical requirements for the tool to run. This will help all the Certified Members to keep themselves updated of tools released in the wild.

Key benefits:

• Repository of categorized latest tools
• User can download the tool in less time with comparison to manual search
• Helps the user to synchronize & manage the tools from the server
• Search specific tools from the available list of tools
• The system provides a means to generate a HTML report of all the tools downloaded by the user

Note:Frankenstein Access is only provided to CEIs (Instructors) and students will not be able to access it. Students can access the Frankenstein contents in their tools DVD provided to them along with the book.

iLabs

The iLabs is a subscription based service that allows students to logon to a virtualized remote machine running Windows 2003 Server to perform various exercises featured in the CEHv7Lab Guide. All you need is a web browser to connect and start experimenting. The virtual machine setup reduces the time and effort spent by instructors and partners prior to the classroom engagement. It is a hassle free service available 24x7 x number of days subscribed.

Nice to see you are following the standard 'babby's first h4x0r website' theme.

Well in a nutshell, hacking is generally seen as a bad thing, but there are different kinds of 'hackers'. Good and bad. White hat and black hat.



A White hat hacker is seen as a good hacker, so what they'll do is, see how secure your network is and if it's not secure, they would patch it up so it's not vunerable to malicious hackers.

A black hat hacker is someone with intent to hack to cause harm, e.g someone who would steal your I.D online.

As I didn`t get my answer and I was told I would at CoventryFB I will ask here instead
'May I ask? Is there gonna be more info about the new Ethical Hacking facility? Will that facility affect the modules that are being taught in Udnergraduate level? If so, when can I expect such a change to be announced? Will Undergrads use it or have an access to it? Any info would be nice, pics or video or equipment that it contains.
Thnx,'

Too much to ask?
BigV is probably right ...

So is a grey hat hacker ethical? Surely they have to be covered in the course!

Clearly it is........ the lack of information or feedback from current or past students in Computing related subjects is a bit depressing to be honest. Many other university specific sections of this site have plenty of students from past and present willing to answer questions, so I just don't understand why nobody from Cov contributes to this section.

As suggested by one of the "Sal_Coventry" posters, I even emailed the admissions help to get a breakdown of the modules and further details, but I received no reply.

I can't even find out what the so called "Add+Vantage" modules are as the document link on the website is broken.

It's a bit pants, because now that I've graduated, I don't have access to the Module Information Directory, which was a really useful tool to see what the modules contained.

I've always found it a little strange that comparatively few people from Cov contribute here...
