Skill signals
What this Ethical Hacker assessment helps you evaluate
Measure practical offensive-security ability through role-relevant questions, attack-simulation scenarios, tool-based tasks, automated scoring, and clear candidate reports.
Web application security
OWASP Top 10, authentication flaws, SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, IDOR, SSRF, file inclusion, command injection, and API security.
Network security
TCP/IP, DNS, ARP spoofing, firewalls, VPNs, IDS and IPS, packet capture, Wireshark, segmentation, and network attacks.
Exploitation techniques
Vulnerability analysis, exploit selection, payloads, shells, buffer-overflow concepts, Metasploit usage, and controlled exploitation.
Cryptography
Symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, certificates, PKI, SSL and TLS, key exchange, and common weaknesses.
Vulnerability assessment
Nessus, OpenVAS, scanning strategy, false-positive review, CVSS, risk ranking, validation, remediation, and retesting.
Security tools
Kali Linux, Nmap, Burp Suite, Wireshark, Metasploit, John the Ripper, Hydra, sqlmap, Gobuster, and tool-selection judgement.
Reporting & methodology
Scope control, evidence collection, risk description, remediation guidance, executive summaries, OWASP methodology, and ethical practice.
