University Information Services - Digital Literacy Skills course timetable

This course will take IT Supporters on a tour of some of the tools and techniques available to the attacker/pentester.

It will begin with the information-gathering phase of an attack methodology, a lot of the tools will be passive and will include contemporary resources like SHODAN.

We will build up a picture of the target and will use the information from the first phase to penetrate the target network.

Candidates will play an attacker against our target bank/university/organisation, and we'll do everything from dumpster diving to playing with metasploit.
