Week 1

On the first week of this “Ethical Hacking and Penetration Test” course, we are introduced on what are the basic components in Ethical Hacking. In addition, we are also told about the different kind of groups of people who are involved in hacking and cracking.

In penetration test itself, there are 3 types of methodologies such as white box, black box, and grey box model. In White Box Model, the tester is told about the topology and technology, whereas in the Black Box Model, the tester is not told anything about either the topology and technology.  On the other hand, Grey Box Model is the combination of both Black and White Box Model. In addition to that, we are explained about the process, as well as the techniques involved in Penetration Testing.

In penetration test itself consists of 2 groups, Red and Blue team, which have their own role in penetration testing such as attacking and defending. However, there are also some advantages of the testers to acquire certifications such as CEH, CISSP, OPST, and etc.

At the end of the day, the class was given an assignment to go through the UU ITE No. 11 2008 rev UU ITE No. 16 2016, in order to prepare ourselves for week 2.
