Reality, Theory and Practice! This course is the "How did they do that?" of modern hacking attacks. From start to finish we will lead you through the full compromise of a company's IT systems, explaining the tools and technologies, but especially the thinking, strategies and the methodologies for every step along the way. "Hacking By Numbers - Extended Edition" will give you a complete and practical window into the methods and thinking of hackers.
