Overview:
This workshop guides you through the ethical hacking attack lifecycle as taught in CEHv13. You will begin with system hacking—learning to gain, escalate, and maintain access while covering tracks. Next, you’ll move into web application exploitation and defense, exploring API and application-layer threats. From there, you will target wireless networks, analyzing encryption, threats, and countermeasures. Finally, you’ll examine mobile platform attacks, including Android and iOS exploitation, MDM issues, and security guidelines. Throughout, you will practice identifying attack surfaces and vectors for different technologies.
