Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

This course equips you with the skills to use Python for real-world cybersecurity tasks. Starting from the basics, you’ll learn about variables, data types, loops, functions, and using packages — building a strong foundation to develop your own hacking tools. 

As you progress, you’ll create practical projects such as a MAC address changer, ARP spoofing tool, packet sniffer, keylogger, and backdoor. These hands-on exercises will help you understand network discovery, command execution, packet analysis, and data extraction techniques used by ethical hackers. In the final stages, you'll convert Python programs into executables, add persistence, and build an automated vulnerability scanner to detect XSS flaws in web applications.  

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to build powerful cybersecurity tools and understand how attackers think and operate.
