- GUIDED PROJECT 1
- Cybersecurity Awareness & Vulnerability Assessment of a Small Business Website
- In this project, you will conduct a cybersecurity awareness campaign and perform a vulnerability assessment on a small business website. The primary goal is to identify security vulnerabilities, provide recommendations for improvements and raise awareness about common cybersecurity threats. You will use ethical hacking techniques, including footprinting, reconnaissance, network scanning and exploitation to simulate an attack on the website. The project will help enhance your understanding of security flaws in web applications and introduce you to basic penetration testing practices.
- GUIDED PROJECT 2
- Wireless Network Penetration Testing with AI-driven Detection
- In this project, you will conduct a wireless network penetration test to identify security vulnerabilities and unauthorized access points in a Wi-Fi network. By simulating attacks like packet sniffing, WPA/WEP cracking and Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks, you will evaluate the security of wireless networks. You will also integrate AI-driven tools such as Darktrace to detect suspicious activities and unauthorized devices in the network. This project will help you understand how to secure wireless networks, identify potential threats and enhance network security by incorporating AI-based threat detection.
