ECS 6600 - Ethical Hacking

This course is designed to teach students to help identify potential threats on a computer or network. An ethical hacker attempts to systematically penetrate a computer system by bypassing system security and by searching for weak points that could be exploited by malicious hackers. This information may then be used by an organization to improve overall system security. Working with both hardware and software developers, ethical hackers work to uncover the security vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could potentially exploit. Credits: 3
