Ethical Hacking in Cyber Security Course in Mohali: Online & Offline Batches

The Ethical Hacking in Cyber Security course in Mohali is offered in online and offline batches. Both modes teach the same practical syllabus, from networking and Linux to web application testing, inside safe, legal lab environments at techcadd Mohali or on your own setup at home.

Offline and Online Batch Options

The topics, lab exercises and assessments are the same in both formats. Ask the team about current timings and whether you can switch modes later.

Offline classroom batches

Practise in a supervised lab with prepared virtual machines and direct mentor help, which is helpful when configuring tools and networks for the first time.

Live online batches

Attend interactive sessions remotely and run labs on your own laptop using virtual machines, with mentors guiding setup and troubleshooting.

Lab Requirements for Online Learners

• A laptop with enough memory and storage to run two or more virtual machines

• VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Player

• Kali Linux and intentionally vulnerable practice machines provided as guided in class

• A stable internet connection and headset

Offline learners use the institute lab, though practising at home on a personal setup is encouraged.

Ethical Hacking Syllabus

• Foundations: the CIA triad, types of attackers, legal and ethical boundaries and scope of authorised testing.

• Networking and Linux: TCP/IP, ports, protocols and essential Linux commands.

• Reconnaissance: passive information gathering, DNS enumeration and OSINT basics.

• Scanning and enumeration: Nmap scans, service detection and vulnerability scanning concepts.

• System security: password attacks in labs, privilege escalation concepts and hardening.

• Web application security: OWASP Top 10, SQL injection, XSS and testing with Burp Suite.

• Wireless and social engineering awareness: Wi-Fi security concepts and phishing awareness.

• Reporting: documenting findings, risk ratings and remediation advice.

Tools You Practise With

Kali Linux, Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite Community, Metasploit Framework, John the Ripper and Hashcat in labs, Nikto and Gobuster. All tools are used only on lab systems you are authorised to test.

Safe and Legal Practice

Every exercise is carried out in isolated labs or on platforms designed for practice. The course stresses that testing systems without written permission is illegal, and teaches how professional engagements define scope and rules of engagement.

Certifications the Syllabus Supports

The topics align with foundations tested in external certifications such as EC-Council's CEH and CompTIA Security+ or PenTest+. These exams are run by those organisations and registered for separately; techcadd does not claim affiliation.

Batch Timings, Fees and Duration

Who Should Join and Career Direction

The course suits IT and computer science students, network and system administrators and developers interested in security. Skills support roles such as SOC analyst trainee, junior penetration tester and security analyst; outcomes depend on effort, practice and market conditions.
