As part of the "Diploma in Cyber Security" course, this lesson will focus on the tools and techniques used in ethical hacking. Ethical hacking is the practice of testing and assessing the security of computer systems and networks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses. By understanding the tools and techniques used in ethical hacking, students will be better equipped to protect organizations from cyber threats.

Throughout this lesson, students will learn about various tools such as Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark, and Burp Suite that are commonly used by ethical hackers to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. Additionally, they will explore techniques such as social engineering, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning to simulate real-world cyber attacks in a controlled environment. By gaining hands-on experience with these tools and techniques, students will develop the skills needed to secure systems and prevent unauthorized access.

Key Lesson Concepts:

• Understand the importance of ethical hacking in protecting organizations from cyber threats
• Explore tools such as Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark, and Burp Suite used in ethical hacking
• Learn techniques like social engineering, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities
