HSVM-YN: Hacking and Security Vulnerability Management

Hacking and Security Vulnerability Management is a 3-day practical training program designed for IT professionals who want foundational knowledge and real-world skills in ethical hacking and system hardening. As cyber threats grow more aggressive, security teams must learn how attackers think—and how to proactively defend against them.

Participants will dive deep into:

• Core information security concepts (CIA Triad, threat models)

• OWASP Top 10 web application vulnerabilities like SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

• Hands-on exploitation and defense using tools like Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, and John the Ripper

• Network penetration basics including MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attacks and firewall configurations

Day 1 focuses on:

• Web application vulnerabilities and hands-on exploitation

• Introduction to vulnerability scanning tools

• Fundamentals of network security

Day 2 expands into:

• Password cracking and security hardening

• Penetration testing basics using Metasploit

• Wi-Fi security (including WPA2 cracking demonstrations)

• Patch management strategies for Windows and Linux systems

Day 3 rounds out with:

• Mobile app security assessments using tools like DROZER and MobSF

• Best practices for secure coding and incident response

• Final lab exercises testing mobile application vulnerabilities

By the end of this course, participants will:

• Identify common vulnerabilities in web, network, and mobile environments

• Perform basic penetration testing ethically and safely

• Understand defensive strategies like secure coding, patch management, and secure Wi-Fi setup

• Be better prepared to support vulnerability management initiatives and incident response

Ideal for junior cybersecurity staff, IT administrators, and system engineers aiming to enhance their security knowledge or explore ethical hacking careers.
