Description
It is estimated that there will be about
1.5 million unfilled jobs in cyber security by the year 2020
. A more recent statistic increased this number for
cyber security unfilled jobs to be 3.5 million by the year 2021
. In addition, recent article highlights
Cisco Systems intention to become a cyber security force
. For these reasons, Cisco created the
CCNA Cyber Ops certification
, which can become one of the
most certifications in demand in the near future
. Furthermore, Cisco created a
scholarship program
for this certification, which emphasis its importance.
In this course you will learn about the
tools
that you can use for
your study of the CCNA Cyber Ops certification and the current Cisco CyberOps Associate certification
. Learning the theory side is important, but the
hands on
side is more important, since the main purpose of your study is to apply your knowledge in
production
, and since your
hands on
will enforce your theory knowledge. You can not teach someone how to drive a car by showing him or her how to do it, but you have to let him
try and practice
how to do that. Furthermore, showing you hands on labs and how to use tools without teaching you how to
create these labs and install these tools,
might not give you the
ultimate benefit
from your study . For this reason, I have created this course to teach you how to
create your own home labs
, and to understand the
core usage
and
important features
of the tools used in them. I believe in the saying: "
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
". If you have access to online labs, such as that offered by Cisco through their scholarship, you still need to know how to create your own home labs to
continue practicing and experimenting,
which is what this course will help you to achieve
.
On the other hand, this course will prepare you to go through these
online labs quickly, and with confidence
, since you will be familiar with the tools used in them. And not just online labs, but any other
hands on Cyber Ops

courses,
like what I intend to
publish in the near future
.
Kali Linux is an advanced penetration testing Linux distribution used for penetration testing, ethical hacking and network security assessments. And penetration testing is the practice of safely testing a computer system, network or application to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. And Black hat hackers use the same tools in Kali Linux, but we as the pen-testers or white hat hackers will use them safely and with authorization from the organization we conduct testing for.
So knowing how to use these tools included in Kali Linux will be very useful for us as security analysts.
This course include the following lectures:
Introduction to Kali Linux
Downloading & Installing Kali Linux
Exploring Kali Linux
Working with the Metasploitable VM
Introduction to Nmap
Working with Nmap and Zenmap
Introduction to the Metasploit Framework
Working with the Metasploit Framework and Armitage
I hope that you will join me in this course and start your
Cyber security journey. Happy learning
!
Who this course is for:
CCNA Cyber ops and computer networking students who want to learn about hot to use Kali Linux, Nmap, and Metasploit
