Ethical Hacker Courses - Be A White Hat Hacker

By Hansen Thompson


Do you ever want a hacking career but also want to do an honest job? You can achieve both of these at the same time by means of being an ethical hacker. You can learn and study the basics of ethical hacking by attending training at an ATC (Accredited Training Center) that offers Ethical Hacker Courses.

Project Managers Singapore: If one would like to be an excellent project manager he can go through a Project Management Professional Training Program or ethical hacker courses.

Ethical hacking, which is also referred to as penetration testing or intrusion testing, is the process by which an ethical hacker tries to gain access to computer networks and computer systems with all the intention of discovering and fixing computer security weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Ethical hackers use the same techniques as their malicious counterparts, but identify and report problems instead of exploiting and taking advantage of them. An ethical hacker is sometimes referred to as white hat hacker which accurately means good guy and a malicious hacker is referred to as black hat hacker which implies the opposite, bad guy.

If you would like to be a certified ethical hacker, you must first attend and finish schooling at an Accredited Training Center then you have to pass the exam given by the EC-Council. The present version of the C/EH is V8. This exam has 125 multiple choice questions and a four hour time limit. To pass this exam you are required to at least have a score of 70%. The past version of the exam (V7) is nearly the same as V8 other than that it's a 150 multiple choice questions. The exam is administered through a computer at an EC-Council Accredited Training Center and costs 500 dollars.

The EC-Council is best known for its professional certifications for the IT security field. It offers numerous certifications in various fields related to IT security, such as disaster recovery, secure programming, e-Business and common IT security knowledge.

A similar certification to Certified Ethical Hacker is Certified Network Defense Architect. This certification is intended for United States Government Agencies which is only offered to members of the agency. Even though both certifications have different names, the course content is just the same.
