November 2009 by Marc Jacob
Dr. Ali Jahangiri, a recipient of the Instructor Circle of Excellence
Award in 2009 by the EC- Council for his Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) and Certified Hacking
Forensic Investigation (CHFI) workshops, is pleased to announce the launch of his new book ’Live
Hacking’. Not only is to Live Hacking a guide to hacking techniques and countermeasures for ethical
hackers, it is also a great resource for those IT professionals who are taking the EC-Council’s
Certified Ethical Hacker course.
The Certified Ethical Hacker (312-50 Exam) course from the International Council of E-Commerce
Consultants (EC-Council) is a professional certification program where candidates learn to use the
same tools and techniques used by hackers and so learn how to find weaknesses in IT systems and
then how to make those systems more secure.
In ethical hacking, the hacker is authorized and trusted to try and penetrate a network to find its
vulnerabilities. This is very different from illegal hacking where a criminal tries to access the
computers without authorization.
For those interested in ethical hacking and the EC-Council’s 312-50 certification program, Live
Hacking is a valuable resource. It is written to instruct and educate IT professionals and so prepare
them to protect their computer systems from potential hacking threats.
Live Hacking, which is available from Amazon.com, covers all of the important aspects of ethical
hacking and starts with Basic Hacking Terminology and progresses to look at the different areas of
hacking and security including Google Hacking, Scanning, Password Cracking, Windows Hacking
and hacking on Wireless Networks.
The Live Hacking book also has an accompanying website livehacking.com where you can find a
sample chapter on Wireless Networking Hacking and other information about the book including the
table of contents, index and more information about Dr. Jahangiri.
