Frequently Asked Questions
Is ethical hacking legal to learn and practice?
Yes — all hands-on labs are conducted in isolated, legal lab environments built specifically for practice; unauthorized testing on real systems is illegal and outside the scope of this course.
Do I need prior security experience?
Basic networking and Linux familiarity is enough — offensive security concepts are taught from fundamentals.
What is the batch schedule?
Weekday batches run 7-9 PM IST; weekend batches run Saturday-Sunday 10 AM-1 PM IST, recorded for lifetime access.
Does this course prepare me for CEH certification specifically?
Yes — the curriculum is mapped to CEH exam domains; the certification exam fee is paid separately to EC-Council.
Is placement support included?
Yes — resume building, mock interviews, and referrals to our hiring partner network are included.
Ethical Hacking vs SOC Analyst — which should I choose?
Ethical Hacking is offensive (finding vulnerabilities); SOC Analyst is defensive (detecting and responding to attacks). Choose based on whether you prefer red-team or blue-team work.
