About

The Ethical hacking II course, offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, will provide students with a practical understanding of the capabilities and possibilities of an attacker, in order to evaluate the cybersecurity of computer networks.

Overview

What you will study:

The main activity of the Ethical hacking II course, offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, is a project where students independently attack a corporate computer network with the aim of exfiltrating specific information. The network is rigged by the course responsibles in a virtual environment. Tools for network and vulnerability scanning, platforms for exploit development, command and control, password er acking, etc. are presented during the course, but students are free to employ methods and tools of their own choice. The course is a continuation of EP274V Ethical Hacking I by offering new challenges in the same cyber environment.
