Description

If you want to learn ethical hacking the fun and easy way like playing a computer game, then this course is for you. There exists on the Internet several websites which allows people to hack and learn hacking. These websites typically have different levels from easy to advanced. By hacking each level and gradually levelling up, you will learn hacking. Traditionally, ethical hacking is taught by installing virtual machines on your PC and hacking the virtual machines inside your PC. This way of learning hacking can be pretty boring as there are no challenges or rewards. Also it can be quite laggy unless you have a high end machine. In addition, some people find learning Linux and installing virtual machines too troublesome.

In this course, I will show you an alternative way, which is more fun and where you will enjoy the thrills of hacking real websites legally and solving each level and going from easy and gradually to more advanced levels - just like paying online games. The website we will be hacking is DefendTheWeb which is a popular hacker's playground where hackers play hacking games reminiscent of CTF (Capture the Flag) and learn at the same time. However, without some help and guidance you will find it quite challenging. Hence this course. I will walk through each level from Intro to Advanced.

You do not need to go through the hassle of installing virtual machines or Linux on your computer. All you need is a PC. In this course I am only using a Windows PC to do hacking.

Who this course is for:

Web developers who have no knowledge on hacking
Students who want to learn hacking the fun way by hacking real websites (legally)
Those who enjoy computer games and want to try hacking as a game
