Description

Welcome to this comprehensive Ethical Hacking course! This course assumes you have NO prior knowledge! It starts with you from scratch and takes you step-by-step teaching you how to hack systems like black-hat hackers and secure them like security experts!This course is highly practical but it won't neglect the theory; we'll start with ethical hacking basics, break down the different penetration testing fields, and install the needed software (on Windows, Linux, and Apple Mac OS), then we'll dive in and start hacking straight away. You'll learn everything by example, by analyzing and exploiting different systems such as networks, cloud servers, clients, websites, Android devices, and Windows systems. No boring dry lectures.The course is divided into a number of sections. Each section covers a penetration testing/hacking field. In each of these sections, you'll first learn how the target system works, the weaknesses of this system, and how to practically exploit these weaknesses to hack this system. As we do this, I will also introduce you to different hacking and security concepts, tools, and techniques. Everything will be taught through examples and hands-on practicals—there will be no useless or boring lectures!All the techniques in this course are practical and work against real systems. You'll understand the whole mechanism of each technique first, then you'll learn how to use it to hack the target system. By the end of the course, you'll be able to modify these techniques to launch more powerful attacks and adapt them to suit different situations and different scenarios.By the end of the course, you will have a strong foundation in most hacking or penetration testing fields, and you'll also learn how to detect, prevent, and secure systems and yourself from the discussed attacks.The course is divided into seven main sections:Network Hacking - This section will teach you how to hack and secure both wired & wireless networks. First, you will learn network basics, how they work, and how devices communicate with each other. Then it will branch into two sub-sections:Pre-connection attacks: You'll learn a number of attacks that can be executed without connecting to the target network and without needing to know the network password. You'll learn how to gather information about the networks around you, discover connected devices, and control connections (deny/allow devices from connecting to networks).Gaining Access: Now that you have gathered information about the networks around you, you'll learn how to crack the key and get the password to your target network whether it uses WEP, WPA, or even WPA2.System Security - In this section, you will learn two main approaches to gain remote access or hack computer systems:Server-Side Attacks: You will learn how to gain full access to computer systems without user interaction. You will learn how to gather useful information about a target system, such as the operating system, open ports, and installed services. Then, you will use this information to discover vulnerabilities and exploit them to gain full control over the target.Client-Side Attacks: If the target system does not contain any weaknesses, then the only way to hack it is by interacting with users. You'll learn how to get the target user to install a backdoor on their system without even realizing it, hijack software updates, and use social engineering techniques.Post Exploitation - In this section, you will learn how to interact with the systems you compromised so far. You’ll learn how to access the file system (read/write/upload/execute), maintain your access, and spy on the target (capture keystrokes, turn on the webcam, take screenshots, etc.).Website / Web Application Hacking - In this section, you will learn how websites work, how to gather information about a target website, and how to discover and exploit vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, and authentication bypasses.Android Hacking - This section will focus on exploiting Android devices and securing them. You will learn:How Android architecture works and its security model.How to create and deploy malicious Android applications to gain access to target devices.How to use Metasploit to create and exploit Android payloads.How to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on Android devices and intercept communications.How to protect Android devices from such attacks.Malware Analysis - In this section, you will learn how to analyze, reverse engineer, and defend against malware. This includes:Understanding how malware operates, including trojans, ransomware, and worms.Using tools to reverse engineer and analyze malicious code.Detecting and removing malware from infected systems.Using sandboxing techniques to safely analyze malware behavior.Windows 11 Security Features - Since Windows 11 is the latest OS, it comes with new security measures. This section will cover:Understanding Windows 11 security architecture and its enhancements over previous versions.Hardening Windows 11 to prevent unauthorized access and malware infections.Throughout the course, you'll learn how to use the following tools to achieve the above:VirtualBoxKali LinuxNmapWiresharkMetasploitSQLmapMaltegoNessusNetdiscoverMacchangerProxychainsTor BrowserAircrack-ng suite (Airmon-ng, Airodump-ng, Aireplay-ng, Aircrack-ng)MobSF (Mobile Security Framework)At the end of each section, you will learn how to detect, prevent, and secure systems and yourself from the discussed attacks.Check out the curriculum and the course teaser for more info!With this course, you'll get 24/7 support, so if you have any questions, you can post them in the Q&A section, and we'll respond to you within 24 hours.Notes:This course is created for educational purposes only; all the attacks are launched in my own lab or against systems that I have permission to test.This course is totally a product of Aashir Waqar & Shubham Pareek, and no other organization is associated with it or a certification exam. Although you will receive a Course Completion Certification from Udemy, apart from that, NO OTHER ORGANIZATION IS INVOLVED.
