Network Security: Hacking and Defense Counter Measure Protection
(Instructor Mark Russell)
10 Days 70 Contact hours $4,775 $0 Fees
Network administrators are responsible for the routine maintenance and upkeep of system, as
well as extended system planning. Over the past several years, Administrators are also
expected to use a proactive approach when approaching the subject of Network Security.
Network administrators must understand some of the basic concepts that are used by hackers,
and also some of the processes that might occur to investigate cyber attacks. PKS uses two
courses that are designed to arm Network Administrators with the knowledge and tools
necessary to accomplish this mission.
CERTIFIED ETHCIAL HACKER
This class will immerse the students into an interactive environment where they will be shown
how to scan, test, hack and secure their own systems. The lab intensive environment gives each

systems. Students will begin by understanding how perimeter defenses work and then be lead
into scanning and attacking their own networks, no real network is harmed. Students then learn
how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to secure a system. Students will
also learn about Intrusion Detection, Policy Creation, Social Engineering, DDoS Attacks, Buffer
Overflows and Virus Creation. When a student leaves this intensive 5 day class they will have
hands on understanding and experience in Ethical Hacking. This course prepares you for EC-
Council Certified Ethical Hacker exam 312-50A
COMPUTER FORENSICS
The CHFI course will give participants the necessary skills to identify an intruder's footprints and
to properly gather the necessary evidence to trace, and if necessary, to prosecute. Many of
today's top tools of the forensic trade will be taught during this course, including software,
hardware and specialized techniques. The need for businesses to become more efficient and
integrated with one another, as well as the home user, has given way to a new type of criminal,
the "cyber-criminal." It is no longer a matter of "will your organization be comprised (hacked)?"
but, rather, "when?" Today's battles between corporations, governments, and countries are no
longer fought only in the typical arenas of boardrooms or battlefields using physical force. Now
the battlefield starts in the technical realm, which ties into most every facet of modern day life.
This class maps to the Certified Forensics Exam as administered by the EC Council.
