Course Overview

Penetration testing, or pentesting, is a critical skill for cybersecurity professionals, and Kali Linux is the go-to platform for mastering it. This powerful, Debian-based Linux distribution comes pre-installed with hundreds of security tools tailored for tasks like vulnerability analysis, digital forensics, and exploitation. Learning to conduct real-world attacks in a controlled environment using Kali Linux equips aspiring ethical hackers with practical experience in uncovering and fixing security loopholes—an essential capability in today’s threat landscape.

This course begins with core pentesting techniques such as sniffing and spoofing using tools like Wireshark, Ettercap, and MITMProxy. It then explores social engineering with Maltego, SET, and BeEF, followed by wireless attacks using Fern and Crunch. Learners dive into forensic analysis using Autopsy, Volatility, and Hashdeep, before transitioning to exploitation techniques with Metasploit and antivirus evasion tactics. Post-exploitation methods cover privilege escalation, credential theft, and keylogging. The course wraps up with reporting tools like Dradis and MagicTree for professional documentation.

This course offers hands-on exposure to real-world pentesting tools, preparing learners for cybersecurity roles with practical, in-demand skills using Kali Linux.
