CIS 4615. ETHICAL HACKING AND INTRUSION FORENSICS. 3 CREDIT HOURS. This course is typically offered in Spring. This class teaches students how to use hacking techniques to perform a hack within legal confines. Such hacking is more commonly referred to as a white-hat or an ethical hack. The course will focus on both technical and social aspects of security, ranging from cryptography and biometrics to risk mitigation and disaster recovery aspects of security. Based on the ethical concepts built during the first half of the semester, students will learn the process involved with intrusion attack detection and forensics investigation. Finally, the course will significantly emphasize the key factors that differentiate a hacker (adversary/black-hat) from an ethical hacker, stressing the importance of being within legal confines, an important prerequisite for a successful ethical hacking career. NOTE: For Computer Science and Information Science and Technology Majors.

Repeatability: This course may not be repeated for additional credits.
