Course Overview

Whenever you are developing an application or just writing code, you have to do extensive testing, not only for the straight forward test cases, but also for the cases that may lead to vulnerabilities in your system. If there is one way to make the application work, you have to think of the infinity - 1 ways that will make the application stop. In this course, we will have a deep overview about the hacking theories and practical techniques in order to be able to accomplish several hacking attempts. Since this course will be delivered online, we will be using online hacking tools that work on any desktop regardless of the setup and regardless of the operating system.

We have been working with LEORON for the past two years and will be working with them again this upcoming year. The programs they delivered were fruitful and exciting and our organization has received positive feedback from the participants. What our organization aims to do is to provide at no cost training for all the private sector employees so that they may benefit from our offered programs in Innovation and Professional development. Leoron has helped us achieve this goal. We look forward to continuing this service and wish them the best of luck. Regards,
