Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Capture the Flag (CTF) exercises are one of the most practical ways to develop real-world ethical hacking skills. In this course, learners gain hands-on experience solving cybersecurity challenges that mimic real-life penetration testing scenarios. Whether preparing for certifications like OSCP or building a strong hacking foundation, this course guides students through the essential process of reconnaissance, exploitation, and privilege escalation within virtual lab environments.

This course begins with setting up a Kali Linux virtual machine using VirtualBox, creating a controlled and repeatable test environment. It then dives into hands-on walkthroughs of vulnerable machines like EVM 1, covering scanning, enumeration, exploitation, and privilege escalation. Learners will also work through the InfoSec Prep OSCP lab, designed specifically to help prepare for advanced certification paths. The course concludes with a focused CTF challenge showcasing SQL injection exploitation that leads to shell access, reinforcing web-based attack vectors.

By the end of the course, learners will confidently approach CTFs, perform basic to advanced exploitation, and understand key concepts for ethical hacking and OSCP prep.
