Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

If you want to learn ethical hacking in a fun and easy way like playing a computer game, then this course is for you. There exist several websites on the Internet which allow people to hack and learn to hack. These websites typically have different levels from easy to advanced. By hacking each level and gradually leveling up, you will learn hacking. Traditionally, ethical hacking is taught by installing virtual machines on your PC and hacking the virtual machines inside your PC. This way of learning hacking can be pretty boring as there are no challenges or rewards. Also, it can be quite laggy unless you have a high-end machine. In addition, some people find learning Linux and installing virtual machines too troublesome.

In this course, it will show you an alternative way, which is more fun and where you will enjoy the thrills of hacking real websites legally and solving each level, going from easy to more advanced levels—just like playing online games. The website we will be hacking is HackThisSite!! which is a popular hacker's playground where hackers play hacking games reminiscent of CTF (Capture the Flag) and learn at the same time. However, without some help and guidance, you will find it quite challenging.

By the end of this course, you will learn HTML, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, and more, by learning how to hack a real website.
