Course Overview

Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges are an essential part of ethical hacking, allowing cybersecurity professionals to practice penetration testing in a controlled environment. These challenges simulate real-world attack scenarios, helping learners develop skills in reconnaissance, exploitation, and privilege escalation. Understanding CTF walkthroughs is crucial for mastering hacking methodologies, improving problem-solving abilities, and strengthening overall cybersecurity knowledge.

This course begins with setting up a virtual lab environment using Kali Linux on VMware and VirtualBox to ensure a secure and isolated testing space. It then covers CTF challenges like Toppo, Lampaio, DC-1, and SickOS 1.1, guiding learners through key hacking techniques such as reconnaissance, enumeration, gaining access, and post-exploitation. Each section provides step-by-step walkthroughs to help learners understand penetration testing strategies and vulnerability exploitation.

By completing this course, learners gain hands-on experience in ethical hacking, develop critical thinking skills for cybersecurity challenges, and enhance their ability to analyze and mitigate vulnerabilities in real-world systems.
