Description

Welcome to "Network Scanning | Master Nmap, Nessus & Wireshark Tools" course.Master network scanning, vulnerability detection and traffic analysis with Nmap, Nessus, and Wireshark to secure networkNetwork scanning is a procedure for identifying active devices on a network by employing a feature or features in the network protocol to signal to devices and await a response. Most network scanning is used to monitor and manage networks, but scanning can also be used to proactively identify vulnerabilities that cyberattackers could exploit.In this course, you'll dive into practical, hands-on techniques using Nmap, Nessus, and Wireshark to tackle real-world network security challenges. With Nmap, you’ll learn how to efficiently map networks and identify potential entry points by scanning for open ports and detecting service versions. Nessus will teach you how to perform comprehensive vulnerability assessments, revealing critical weaknesses in your network and helping you take proactive steps to protect it. Wireshark will empower you to analyze network traffic in-depth, enabling you to pinpoint security threats and troubleshoot network issues with precision. Through focused exercises and real-world scenarios, you'll gain the skills to secure your network against cyber threats, ensuring you're prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to any vulnerabilities or breaches.What You'll LearnUnderstand the fundamentals of Nmap, its features, and its role in cybersecurity.Perform port scans to identify open, closed, and filtered ports.Master the use of NSE for advanced scanning and vulnerability detection.Install and configure Wireshark on both Windows and Linux.Apply advanced filters to isolate and analyze traffic effectively.Examine key protocols, including TCP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS.Identify and mitigate security threats through traffic analysis.Conduct vulnerability scans using Nessus and interpret results.Perform detailed scans on web servers and assess FTP servers for vulnerabilities.Exploit identified vulnerabilities using the built-in tools and scripts.Are you ready to dive deep into the world of network scanning and cybersecurity? Welcome to our Nmap complete course, designed to equip you with the essential skills needed to become proficient in network discovery, vulnerability detection, and security assessments using Nmap.What is Wireshark?Wireshark is an open-source network protocol analysis software program, widely considered the industry standard. A global organization of network specialists and software developers supports Wireshark and continues to make updates for new network technologies and encryption methods.What is NMAP?Nmap (“Network Mapper”) is a free and open source utility for network exploration and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and both console and graphical versions are available.What is Nessus?Nessus is a powerful and versatile vulnerability assessment tool that helps organizations proactively manage their security risks. With comprehensive coverage, advanced scanning techniques, and compliance auditing capabilities, it provides accurate vulnerability detection. Its scalability, customization options, and integration capabilities make it suitable for organizations of all sizes. By automating processes and offering continuous monitoring, it saves time and resources while ensuring ongoing security vigilance. With a strong user community and continuous innovation, it remains at the forefront of vulnerability assessment technology. Overall, it empowers organizations to strengthen their security, achieve compliance, and protect critical assets.Why do you want to take this course?Our answer is simple: Quality of teaching.Whether you just want to take the exam to measure your network scanning knowledge, specialize in network security, are a university student and want to improve yourself, or want to learn as a requirement of your profession.
