Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

In order to protect yourself from hackers, you must think as one. In this course, you will start as a beginner with no previous knowledge about penetration testing or hacking. You will learn hacking tools, methodologies, and techniques. This is a both practical and theoretical step-by-step course. 

This course is focused on the practical side of penetration testing without neglecting the theory behind each attack. Before jumping into penetration testing, you will first learn how to set up a lab and install the needed software to practice penetration testing on your own machine. In the section, “Introduction to Ethical Hacking, Footprinting and Reconnaissance”, you will learn how to gather information about your target server, you will learn how to discover the DNS server used, open ports and services, unpublished directories, and sensitive files. This information is very important as it increases the chances of being able to successfully gain access to the target website. In the Section, “Scanning Networks, Enumeration and Vulnerabilities and System Hacking”, you will learn how to discover and exploit a large number of vulnerabilities, this section is divided into a number of sub-sections, each covering a specific vulnerability, firstly you will learn what is the vulnerability, then you will learn how to exploit this vulnerability. Then you will learn how to capture encrypted and unencrypted data, passwords, and such (HTTP, telnet, HTTPS, etc) Moving further in this course, you will understand how to use Metasploit to exploit numerous vulnerabilities and create backdoors. Lastly, you will get into Trojans, Backdoors, Viruses and Worms, Cryptography, Penetration testing on Wireless Networks, and Penetration Testing. 

By the end of the course, you will be able to hack a network or a web application. 

Disclaimer: This course is created only for educational purposes and all the attacks are launched in an isolated lab environment.
