Ethical Hacking: Sniffers

Ethical hacking involves testing to see if an organization's network is vulnerable to outside attacks. It's one of the most desired stills for any IT security professional. In this course—which maps to the Certified Ethical Hacker v12 certification—Lisa Bock provides an overview of what a sniffer is, and how hackers use it to intercept network traffic. Lisa gives a demonstration of what a MAC attack is, and how ethical hackers can prevent them. She then dives into DHCP, ARP, and DNS, and how hackers can penetrate a network from these services, before showing ethical hackers how to countermeasure such attacks. Lisa concludes the course with an overview of the various sniffing tools and techniques used today by hackers, with discussion of how ethical hackers can protect their network.
