Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp (Udemy.com)

Just updated with all modern ethical hacking tools and best practices! Join a live online community of over 900,000+ students and a course taught by industry experts. This course will take you from absolute beginning of setting up your own hacking lab (like Kali Linux) on your machine, all the way to becoming a security expert that is able to use all the hacking techniques used by hackers and defend against them!

Whether you are a complete beginner looking to become an ethical hacker, or you’re a student looking to learn about securing computer systems, or you are a programmer who is looking to improve their security online and prevent attacks from hackers on your website, this course will dive you into the world of hacking and penetration testing. We even teach you Python programming from scratch for those that want to learn to program their own tools for hacking and penetration testing.

This course is focused on learning by doing. We are going to teach you how hacking works by actually practicing the techniques and methods used by hackers today. We will start off by creating our hacking lab to make sure we keep your computers safe throughout the course, as well as doing things legally, and once we have our computers set up for ethical hacking, then we dive into topics like

1. HACKING LAB - In this section we are building our own lab where we can perform our attacks. What this lab essentially is, is a virtual machine that we will use for hacking and throughout the course we also create additional virtual vulnerable machines that we can practice our attacks on. The reason we use virtual machines is because we are not allowed to test our attacks on real life websites and networks so we create our own environment to do that.

• Downloading Virtual Box and Kali Linux

• Creating Our First Virtual Machine

• Installing Kali Linux Operating System

• 5 Stages Of A Penetration Test

• Navigating Through Kali Linux System

• Creating Files and Managing Directories

• Network Commands and Sudo Privileges In Kali

  
  

2. OPTIONAL: PYTHON 101 - Learn python 3 programming from scratch. This section is not mandatory and is optional for those that want to learn to programming so you are able to build your own ethical hacking tools

• Learn Python Basics

• Learn Python Intermediate

• Learn Python: Error Handling

• Learn Python: File I/O

3. RECONNAISSANCE  - Here we learn what we call Footprinting, or in other words, Information Gathering. Once we choose our target, our first task is to gain as much information about the target as possible.

• What is Information Gathering

• Obtaining IP Address, Physical Address Using Whois Tool

• Whatweb Stealthy Scan

• Aggressive Website Technology Discovering on IP Range

• Gathering Emails Using theHarvester and Hunterio

• How To Download Tools Online

• Finding Usernames With Sherlock

• Bonus Email Scraper Tool In Python 3

• More About Information Gathering

4. SCANNING - This is where things get real. In this section, we also gather information but we try to gather only technical information

• Theory Behind Scanning

• TCP & UDP

• Installing Vulnerable Virtual Machine

• Netdiscover

• Performing First Nmap Scan

• Different Nmap Scan Types

• Discovering Target Operating System

• Detecting Version Of Service Running On An Open Port

• Filtering Port Range and Output Of Scan Results

• What is a Firewall & IDS

• Using Decoys and Packet Fragmentation

• Security Evasion Nmap Options

• Note: Time To Switch Things Up!

• Python Coding Project: Port Scanner

5. VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS - In this section we use the information that we gathered from scanning (such as softwares that the target has running on open ports) and with this information, we try to determine whether there is any known vulnerabilities.

• Finding First Vulnerability & Nmap Scripts

• Manual Vulnerability Analysis and Searchsploit

• Nessus Installation

• Discovering Vulnerabilities & Nessus

• Scanning Windows 7 Machine With Nessus

6. EXPLOITATION and GAINING ACCESS  - This is the exciting part of the course. This is where we attack and gain access to the target machines. Throughout this section, we will be covering many different vulnerabilities and different targets. We perform these attacks on our virtual machines and cover another really important tool for an ethical hacker: Metasploit Framework. The goal of exploitation is to get on that target machine. This means we must drop a payload on that target machine so we can use it to navigate through their systems, look through their files, execute anything we want, and delete anything we want without the target knowing anything about it. We will also learn to create our own Viruses and Trojans that we can deliver to the target whether through an email or through an USB.

• What is Exploitation

• What is a Vulnerability

• Reverse Shells and Bind Shells

• Metasploit Framework Structure

• Msfconsole Basic Commands

• Our First Exploit with vsftp 2.3.4 Exploitation

• Misconfigurations Happen with Bindshell Exploitation

• Information Disclosure with Telnet Exploit

• Software Vulnerability with Samba Exploitation

• Attacking SSH with Bruteforce Attack

• Exploitation Challenge with 5 Different Exploits

• Explaining Windows 7 Setup

• Eternal Blue Attack Windows 7 Exploitation
