  • Basic Understanding of the Computers and the Internet.

Description

Learn and understand the fundamental concepts of the Open Source Intelligence and Social Engineering and how they could be applied in the real world scenario. 

Social Engineering is a method that is hardly understood well by people, as it is the best way to get access into any systems when there is no possible way in terms of attacking the machines. And this course mainly aims at providing the knowledge on easily available tools to initially gather all the intelligence needed (via the Open Source Intelligence techniques), and then perform the Social Engineering Attacks based on all the information that is obtained. The tools used in this course are the standard tools used in the Information Security Industry and is explained in the most easy and understandable way.


Who this course is for:

  • Cyber Security Professionals
  • Anyone who has interest in getting into the world of Cyber Security
  • Lawyers
