This is a two-day course, running on Thursday 9th and Friday 10th March. The course starts at 10am and finishes at 4:30pm on both days.

So what’s this all about?

It’s time to put on your finest roller blades, grab a cold jolt cola, then come and learn some practical skills to hack the planet.

The team at Hacker House™ provide hands-on networking and application labs, intended to stimulate your grey matter. We teach from years of experience on practical cyber-security assessment skills for the red team.

We teach you everything you need to learn about hacking with the most popular open-source tools, through tutor driven theory exercises, and practical labs.

Over the two days you will learn hacking basics and perform the following:

• Conduct a network infrastructure assessment
• Make use of data leaks and intelligence
• Identify and exploit widespread vulnerabilities
• Review web applications to find vulnerabilities
• Make use of open-source tools to enhance your system security
• Crack passwords, steal data and understand how hackers target networks
• Hack into networks… without going to jail
• Learn the tools of the trade used by ethical hackers

We teach hacking skills and require our attendees to agree to a code of conduct. The skills we teach are not academic and instead highlight real vulnerabilities in real systems. Techniques you learn on this course can be used outside of the classroom and we only teach those who use their newfound Kung-Fu for good.

Who is this course for?

Our course is purposefully aimed at those seeking to get an introduction into the world of ethical hacking be it for future employment or to enhance their existing skills at work.

The course will provide an introduction to the wonderful and exciting art of ethical hacking. Course attendees need a familiarity of Linux, be comfortable working with the command line and have a basic understanding of networking. Programming skills are an advantage but not essential. Our course is aimed at system administrators, network junkies and anyone else who wants to get a crash course in hands-on hacking. If security has become your responsibility at your work, or penetration tests are becoming too much of an overhead, then this course is ideal for you.

We teach you enough basic security assessment abilities, through practical hands-on hacking, so you will be able to get a better insight to vulnerabilities in your workplace and at home.

If you don’t know your heart bleed from your shellshock, your local roots from your Apache remotes, or your SQL injection from man-in-the-middle – then this is the course for you.

A free sample of one of our modules will be available for download January 2017. If you’re not sure if this course is for you, we suggest taking a look at the sample module before booking to avoid disappointment.
