Why take this course?
Are you ready to dive into the world of ethical hacking and cybersecurity? This comprehensive course is designed to take you from a beginner to an advanced penetration tester, equipping you with the skills needed to identify vulnerabilities, exploit weaknesses, and secure systems against real-world cyber threats. Using Kali Linux, VirtualBox, and industry-standard hacking tools, you’ll gain hands-on experience with network attacks, Wi-Fi hacking, web penetration testing, SQL injection, and post-exploitation techniques.
We begin by setting up a hacking lab, installing Kali Linux, Metasploitable, and Windows, and learning essential Linux commands. You’ll then explore network penetration testing, including MAC address spoofing, deauthentication attacks, and packet sniffing. In the wireless hacking section, you’ll discover how hackers crack WPA/WPA2 encryption, capture handshakes, and use wordlist attacks to gain access. You’ll also master MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attacks, ARP spoofing, and advanced techniques using Bettercap and Wireshark.
As you progress, you’ll move into website penetration testing, where you’ll exploit file inclusion vulnerabilities, SQL injection flaws, and command execution weaknesses. The course also covers MySQL database manipulation, SQLMap automation, and hacking user credentials. In the final sections, you’ll explore post-exploitation tactics, creating backdoors, keyloggers, and remote access Trojans (RATs), along with social engineering techniques used by attackers.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a strong foundation in ethical hacking and the confidence to conduct penetration tests or secure systems professionally. Whether you’re an aspiring cybersecurity expert, IT professional, or developer, this course will equip you with real-world hacking techniques while ensuring you understand how to defend against cyber threats.
