FAQs

Ethical Hacking Certification — Common Questions

Is ethical hacking legal?+
Ethical hacking is completely legal when performed with written authorization from the system owner. Our course emphasizes legal and ethical boundaries throughout — you will only ever practice on dedicated lab environments we provide, or on platforms like HackTheBox, TryHackMe and CTF competitions.
Will this prepare me for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) by EC-Council?+
Yes — our curriculum covers all 20 CEH modules. We provide CEH domain mapping and supplementary study materials. Many students take the CEH exam immediately after completing our programme. The CEH is highly valued by enterprise security teams.
Do I need prior hacking experience?+
No — but networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP) and basic Linux command line are strongly recommended prerequisites. We provide a prerequisite course pack for complete beginners before the main programme begins.
What is a bug bounty programme?+
Companies like Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft and hundreds of startups run bug bounty programmes — they pay security researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in their systems. Top bug bounty hunters earn $50,000–$500,000+ per year. Our capstone module introduces the bug bounty methodology and helps you submit your first report.
Is there a risk of getting in trouble with law enforcement?+
Only if you hack without authorization. Our course emphasizes: never test systems you do not own or have written permission to test. All lab exercises are on isolated environments. We include legal frameworks, responsible disclosure practices and career ethics as part of the curriculum.
What is the difference between a pen tester and a SOC analyst?+
A Penetration Tester (offensive/red team) actively tries to break into systems to find vulnerabilities. A SOC Analyst (defensive/blue team) monitors for attacks and responds to incidents. They are complementary roles — many security professionals do both, starting in one and moving to the other.
