A course taught in Bushkills, Pennsylvania is teaching IT consulting professionals how to protect client systems by hacking into them.  The course is taught by Steve Kalman and is called Certified Ethical Hacking.  It teaches IT consulting experts about many different topics, from wireless hacking to how to avoid getting trapped by systems set up to attract and catch hackers.

The hope with this IT consulting course is that professionals can learn how to better secure systems by learning how to break into them.   A course is offered by a Northeast Philadelphia company, “Training Camp” that employs 40 people and has many classes for computer professionals.  The students  learn how to break into mock-up bank systems and other high-security fictional organizations.  It is called “Hacker Boot Camp” and is designed to help IT consulting firms better protect their customers’ computers.   

Students of this IT consulting course learn to create fake records in databases, create $1 million accounts with fictitious banks and commit other phony crimes to learn more about what is behind them and what is behind security procedures that can help protect users from them.  

Students of this IT consulting class agree that understanding different tricks is truly helping them understand how hackers get into systems through vulnerabilities.  Training Camp purposely does not offer information that could really help hackers to ensure there is no foul play.  Most of the tricks taught are those that have already been patched and fixed.

Those IT consulting professionals that pass the course get a certification of a “Certified Ethical Hacker,” which is becoming in higher demand than ever before as data security becomes incredibly important to the life of every business.
