A zero-day exploit : An advanced Cyber Attack defined
A zero-day vulnerability, at its core, is a flaw. It is an unknown exploit in the wild that exposes a vulnerability in software or hardware which can create complicated problems well before anyone realizes something is wrong. In fact, a zero-day exploit leaves NO opportunity for detection... at first.
Vulnerability Timeline :
A zero-day attack happens once that flaw, or software/hardware vulnerability is exploited, and attackers release malware before a developer has an opportunity to create a patch to fix the vulnerability, hence “zero-day.”
Let’s break down the steps of the window of vulnerability:
- A company’s developers create software, but unbeknownst to them, it includes a vulnerability
- The threat actor spots that vulnerability either before the developer does, or acts on it before the developer has a chance to fix it
- The attacker writes and implements exploit code while the vulnerability is still open and available
- After releasing the exploit, either the public recognizes it in the form of identity or information theft, or the developer catches it and creates a patch to staunch the cyber bleeding.
Once a patch is written and used, the exploit is no longer called a zero-day exploit. These attacks are rarely discovered right away. In fact, it often takes not just days, but months, and sometimes years before a developer learns of the vulnerability that led to an attack.

Ethical Hacking as a career option
This program lies in the Infrastructure
Management space and acts as a value add to working professionals in networking
background who would like to upgrade themselves to security operations.
Becoming Ethical Hacker enables the
individual to conduct penetration testing to assess the vulnerability in the IT
system of an organization. This is required by many organizations as ISO/IEC
27001 is increasingly becoming mandatory security compliance that is governed
by customers globally.
Why it is BIG?
Cybercrime is increasingly on the rise.
According to a report India lost 8 bn dollar in 2011 due to cybercrime and is
ranked 5th in e-commerce breaches. Govt of India has also recognized the need
for building capability to fight against hackers and as a result also rolled
out India's first cyber security policy in 2013. According to NASSCOM, India
requires about 77,000 ethical hackers every year while Forbes has ranked
Ethical Hacking as the no.2 in high paying jobs of the future.
Program Highlights :
1.Expert Faculty : Renowned Evangelist, Researchers and Practitioner
from the Info security world to train professionals on the concepts and best
practices of Ethical Hacking
2.Program structure and pace designed to enable learners to
comprehensively grasp the concepts
3.Program is bundled with International Certification – RISC Redback
International Security Council.
4.35 GB of real life hacking tools that are used by hackers
underground
5.Enabled with Cloud Services
a) Cloud Classroom: Learn from the experts
b) Cloud Courseware: Anywhere access to the courseware
c) Guided virtual labs to practice exercises from anywhere.
d) Cloud Bytes: Blogs/Journals, updated material
e) Focused Cloud learning complimenting what you learn in class
6.Invitations to focused and closed door technology webinars
7.Special Capsule on Indian Cyber Laws
8.Online screening test to assess the pre-requisite skills to
undertake the program
Eligibility:
1.Working professionals with 1-3 yrs of experience in IT
2.Knowledge of networking concepts and implementations especially
TCP/IP fundamentals

CHFI (Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator)
CHFI (Computer Hacking
Forensics Investigator)
EC-Council releases the most
advanced Computer Forensic Investigation program in the world. CHFIv8 presents
a detailed methodological approach to computer forensics and evidence analysis.
It is a comprehensive course covering major forensic investigation scenarios
that enable students to acquire hands-on experience on various forensic
investigation techniques and standard tools necessary to successfully carry-out
a computer forensic investigation. Battles between corporations, governments,
and countries are no longer fought using physical force. Cyber war has begun
and the consequences can be seen in everyday life. With the onset of
sophisticated cyber-attacks, the need for advanced cyber security and
investigation training is a mandate in the present day. If you or your
organization requires the knowledge or skills to identify, track, and prosecute
the cybercriminals, then this is the course for you.This course helps students
to excel in digital evidence acquisition, handling and analysis in a
forensically sound manner. Acceptable in a court of law, these skills will lead
to successful prosecutions in various types of security incidents such as data
breaches, corporate espionage, insider threats and other intricate cases
involving computer systems.
In
preparation to earn an CHFI certification, Mazenet recommends a training path

The purpose of the CSCU training program is to
provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to protect their
information assets. This class will immerse students into an interactive
environment where they will acquire fundamental understanding of various
computer and network security threats such as identity theft, credit card
fraud, online banking phishing scams, virus and backdoors, emails hoaxes, sex
offenders lurking online, loss of confidential information, hacking attacks and
social engineering. More importantly, the skills learnt from the class helps
students take the necessary steps to mitigate their security exposure.
In preparation to earn
an CSCU certification, Mazenet recommends a training path based on a
candidate’s background:
Ø Foundations of Security
Ø Securing Operating Systems

Computer hacking forensic investigation (CHFI) is the process of detecting hacking
attacks and properly extracting evidence to report the crime and conduct audits
to prevent future attacks.
Computer
forensics is simply the application of computer investigation and analysis
techniques in the interests of determining potential legal evidence. Evidence
might be sought in a wide range of computer crime or misuse, including but not
limited to theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual
property, and fraud. Computer forensic investigators can draw on an array of
methods for discovering data that resides in a computer system, or recovering
deleted, encrypted, or damaged file information.
CHFI v8 Program certifies individuals in the
specific security discipline of computer forensics from a vendor-neutral
perspective. The CHFI certification will fortify the application knowledge of
law enforcement personnel, system administrators, security officers, defense
and military personal, legal professionals, bankers, security professionals,
and anyone who is concerned about the integrity of the network infrastructure.
