Explore access controls, including physical and logical controls, and how subjects, objects, and permissions govern access to assets through identity, authentication, authorization, need-to-know, and least privilege policies.
Examine physical and logical access controls, including biometrics, smart cards, tokens, cryptographic keys, and Linux permissions from root and sudo to setuid and shadow files.
Explore how the TCAP protocol suite governs data travel, contrasting connection-oriented TCAP with UDP. Identify how ports map to DNS, SNMP, SMTP, SSH, Telnet, and ARP/ICMP roles.
Compare symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, explain out-of-band key exchange, and describe how hybrid encryption protects the symmetric key with public keys. Explore hashing for integrity.
Explore risk categorization, quantitative and qualitative analysis, single loss expectancy, annualized loss expectancy, and top-down policy and bottom-up vulnerability assessment methodologies for cost-effective mitigation and due care.
Explore popular vulnerability scanners—Nessus, Retina, Qualys, GFI LanGuard, and MBSA—and how they identify vulnerabilities, generate color-coded reports, and support ethical hacking with patch management.
Assess and compare vulnerability assessment tool outputs and reports, including Nessus, GFI LanGuard, and MBSA, and learn to use vulnerability databases and patch management resources for remediation.
Explore reconnaissance, enumeration, and scanning, including passive and active information gathering, port scanning, and user account discovery, with Google queries and the Wayback Machine.
Explore back doors and rootkits, including trojan horses and maintenance hooks, and modules like netcat and metasploit for persistent access and ethical testing in safe virtual environments.
The Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) is a vendor-neutral certification offered by Mile2 for the students willing to learn the importance of vulnerability assessments by gaining industry knowledge and skills in vulnerability assessments. In doing so, the CPEH students are able to understand how malware and destructive viruses function. In addition to this, the CPEH course helps students learn how to implement counter response and take preventive measures in case of an attack on the network.
This preparatory course for the Certified Professional Ethical Hacker (CPEH) certification covers the complete curriculum required to clear the certification exam. The topics covered in this course are security fundamentals, access controls, protocols, cryptography, vulnerability assessments, vulnerability tools of the trade, output analysis and reports, reconnaissance, enumeration and scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, covering tracks, malware, buffer overflows, and password cracking.
Exam Information
The CPEH course provides in-depth labs that focus on both open source and commercial based tools with industry best practices. These hands-on labs emulate real-world hacking scenarios and equip the candidate to assess your company’s security posture, help implement controls to better secure your company’s network infrastructure and how to combat against hackers and/or viruses, etc. Upon completion, the Certified Professional Ethical Hacker candidate will be able to competently take the CPEH exam.
