Description

In order to protect yourself from hackers, you must think as one.

In this course, you will start as a beginner with no previous knowledge about penetration testing or hacking.

You will learn hacking tools, methodologies and techniques. This is a both practical and theoretical step-by-step course.

This course is focused on the practical side of penetration testing without neglecting the theory behind each attack. Before jumping into penetration testing, you will first learn how to set up a lab and install needed software to practice penetration testing on your own machine.

Below are the main topics, both theoretical and practical, of this course:

Introduction to Ethical Hacking, Footprinting and Reconnaissance

This section will teach you how to gather information about your target server, you will learn how to discover the DNS server used, open ports and services, un-published directories, sensitive files. This information is very important as it increases the chances of being able to successfully gain access to the target website.

Scanning Networks, Enumeration and Vulnerabilities and System Hacking

In this section you will learn how to discover and exploit a large number of vulnerabilities, this section is divided into a number of sub-sections, each covering a specific vulnerability, firstly you will learn what is that vulnerability, then you will learn how to exploit this vulnerability.

Sniffing

Learn how to capture encrypted and unencrypted data, passwords and such (HTTP, telnet, HTTPS, etc)

Metasploit

Use This framework to exploit numerous vulnerabilities and crate backdoors

Trojans, Backdoors, Viruses and Worms

Cryptography

Penetration testing on Wireless Networks

Penetration Testing

NOTE: This course is created only for educational purposes and all the attacks are launched in an isolated lab environment.

Who this course is for:

Anyone who want to learn the ethical hacking and penetration testing process
Network and Security Engineers
IT students
Anyone who wants to start a career in it security field or as "ethical hacker"
