Course Overview

Ethical hacking is a critical skill in today's cybersecurity landscape, enabling professionals to proactively identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them. This comprehensive course provides hands-on training in penetration testing, covering a wide range of attack vectors and defensive strategies. Whether you're an aspiring ethical hacker or an experienced security professional looking to refine your skills, this course will equip you with the practical knowledge needed to assess and secure modern systems effectively.

This course begins with an introduction to ethical hacking and guides you through setting up a penetration testing lab using Kali Linux and Windows as a victim machine. You will explore Kali's desktop environment and essential Linux commands before diving into penetration testing methodologies, including threat modeling and network attacks using tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Metasploit. Wireless security, web application attacks, password cracking, and social engineering techniques are thoroughly covered, along with mobile device exploitation and post-exploitation strategies. The course also includes real-world scenarios, reporting techniques, and a bonus section on advanced hacking tools, ensuring you gain a well-rounded understanding of ethical hacking.

By the end of this course, you will be proficient in executing penetration tests, exploiting vulnerabilities, maintaining access, and documenting findings — skills that are invaluable for securing networks, applications, and devices.
