Course purpose and goals
The goal of the course is to give students in-depth knowledge so that they can find security gaps in a system and in a company's IT environment. The course also aims to give students tools and methods for attacking a target and finding attack vectors for hacking. After completing the course, the student should be better able to protect companies against intrusion. This is done by giving students an understanding of how a hacker thinks and acts.
