Sorry for adding facts to the discussion, but the class does indeed teach
defense techniques. And the point of the class is not to "commit a crime"(!)
but to learn how to secure your own enterprise by attacking it.

Details can be found at http://www.ey.com/aabs/isaas/ess/hacking.asp .

Disclaimer: I am an E&Y employee, but I have taken the class and felt it was
the best technical course I have ever taken, even though I had come from a 
background of doing attack and penetration testing for internal hosts at
another company.
