Course Description

Welcome this great coursewhere you'll learnpython programming and ethical hacking at the same time, the course assumesyou have NOprior knowledge in any of these topics, and by the end of it you'll be at a high intermediate level being able to combine both of these skills and write python programs to hack into computer systems exactly the same way that black hat hackers do, and use the programming skills you learn to write any program even if it has nothing to do with hacking.

Thiscourse ishighly practical but it won't neglect the theory, we'll start with basics on ethical hacking and python programming, installing the needed software and then we'll dive and start programming straight away. From here onwards you'll learn everything by example, by writing useful hacking programs, so we'll never have any boring dry programming lectures.
The course is divided into a number of sections, each aims to achieve a specific goal, the goal is usually to hack into a certain system, so we'll start by learning how this system work and its weaknesses, and then you'll lean how to write a python program to exploit these weaknesses and hack the system, as we write the program I will teach you python programming from scratch covering one topic at a time, so by the end of the course you're going to have a number of ethical hacking programs written by yourself (see below) from backdoors, keyloggers, credential harvesters, network hacking tools, website hacking tools and the list goes on. You'll also have a deep understanding on how computer systems work, how to model problems, design an algorithm to solve problems and implement the solution using python.
As mentioned in this course you will learn both ethical hacking and programming at the same time, so here aresomeof the topics that will be covered in the course:
Programming topics:
Writing programs for python2and 3.
Using modules and libraries.
Variables, types ...
etc.
Handling user input.
Reading and writing files.
Functions.
Loops.
Data structures.
Regex.
Desiccation making.
Recursion.
Threading.
Object oriented programming.
Packet manipulation using scapy.

Network mapping.
ARP Spoofing - redirect the flow of packets in a network.
DNS Spoofing -redirect requests from one website to another.
Spying on any client connected to the network - see usernames, passwords, visited urls ....
etc.
Inject code in pages loaded by any computer connected to the same network.
Replace files on the fly as they get downloaded by any computer on the same network.
Detect ARP spoofing attacks.
Bypass HTTPS.
Create malware for Windows, OS X and Linux.

Learn the basics of website hacking / penetration testing.
Discover subdomains.
Discover hidden files and directories in a website.
Run wordlist attacks to guess login information.
Discover and exploit XSS vulnerabilities.
Discover weaknesses in websites using own vulnerability scanner.
Programs you'll build in this course:
You'll learn all the aboveby implementing the following hacking programsmac_changer - changesMAC Address to anything we want.
network_scanner - scans network and discoversthe IP and MAC address ofall connectedclients.
arp_spoofer - runs an arp spoofing attack to redirect the flow of packets in the network allowing us to intercept data.
packet_sniffer - filters intercepteddata and shows usernames, passwords, visited links ....
etcdns_spoofer - redirects DNS requests, eg: redirects requests to from one domain to another.
file_interceptor - replaces intercepted files with any file we want.
code_injector - injects code in interceptedHTML pages.
arpspoof_detector - detects ARP spoofing attacks.
execute_command payload - executes a system command on the computer it gets executed on.
execute_and_report payload -executes a system command and reports result via email.
download_and_execute payload - downloads a file and executes it on target system.
download_execute_and_report payload - downloads a file, executes it, and reports result by email.
reverse_backdoor - gives remote control over the system it gets executed on, allows us toAccess file system.
Execute system commands.
Download & upload fileskeylogger - records key-strikes and sends them to us by email.
crawler - discovers hidden paths on a target website.
discover_subdomains - discovers subdomains on target website.
spider - maps the whole target website and discovers all files, directories and links.
guess_login - runs a wordlist attack to guess login information.
vulnerability_scanner - scans a target website for weaknesses and produces a report with all findings.
As you build the above you'll learn:
Setting up a penetration testing lab to practice hacking safely.
Installing Kali Linux and Windows as virtual machines inside ANY operating system.
Linux Basics.
Linux terminal basics.
How networks work.
How clients communicate in a network.
Address Resolution Protocol -ARP.
Network layers.
Domain Name System -DNS.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol -HTTP.
HTTPS.
How anti-virus programs work.
Sockets.
Connecting devices over TCP.
Transferring data over TCP.
How website work.
GET &POST requests.
And more!
By the end of the course you're going to have programming skills to write any program even if it has nothing to do with hacking, but you'll learn programming by programming hacking tools!
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 15 hours.
Notes:
This course is created for educational purposes only andall the attacks are launched in my own lab or against devices that I have permission to test.

Instructor Details

Zaid Sabih

My name is Zaid Al-Quraishi, I am an ethical hacker, a computer scientist, and the founder and CEO of zSecurity. I just love hacking and breaking the rules, but dont get me wrong as I said I am an ethical hacker.
I have tremendous experience in ethical hacking, I started making video tutorials back in 2009 in an ethical hacking community (iSecuri1ty), I also worked as a pentester for the same company. In 2013 I started teaching my first course live and online, this course received amazing feedback which motivated me to publish it on Udemy.
This course became the most popular and the top paid course in Udemy for almost a year, this motivated me to make more courses, now I have a number of ethical hacking courses, each focusing on a specific field, dominating the ethical hacking topic on Udemy.
Now I have more than 350,000 students on Udemy and other teaching platforms such as StackSocial, StackSkills and zSecurity.

Yes its very interesting im wanting to learn this to protect myself from hackers

By David Anderson on 12/20/2020

I've had an introduction to basic networking terminologies and python programming. The teaching is right on track for someone at my level and its easy to understand even more by already having had an introduction to it.

By Vinayak ... on 11/22/2020

Great Knowledge.
Never had such a great experience while studying before.
Thank You

Very effective instructor. Excellent step by step walk thru. Clear and concise.

By Carolus Magnus on 11/15/2020

I already knew Python, so that course allows me to understand the nuts and bolts of some hacking techniques, which I really like. The speaker started very very slow, now he sounds like he's is getting angry and wants to accelerate. However, so far so good for me. Once I have finished this course, I will go on a course focused on hacking only, and I think I will be better because this course will have taught me how the programs work inside, and I will be able to adapt the other programs to my liking. I like this instructor very much

By Vaibhav Joshi on 11/14/2020

This is a really great course to get an introduction to hacking. I'm a software developer and I always wanted to learn to test the security of my web applications. The only thing that kept me from learning that is the fact that a lot of the software used for pen testing or vulnerability scanning intimidates me. Being a software developer, I know what bad code can do to my computer, but since a majority of the code was written by me, with open source documentation to read through, I felt safe running it on my computer. Big thanks to the instructor Zaid for making it interesting at the same time. My only concern with this course is that it is not exactly beginner-friendly (as claimed in the course title). You must know at least the basics of software development and computer networking to fully understand the concepts. But if you do, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't take this course.

By Ewan Wilson on 11/12/2020

There will be so many skills to learn which could be implemented on an ethical hacking base as well as expanding my knowledge on both programming and ethical hacking

By Joshua Black on 11/12/2020

Some resources are broken, which is funny considering the course was updated this month and it's only 7 days into October right now.

By Deepak Gudi on 11/7/2020

Best course to begin with if you want to learn python and hacking simultaneously!

By PRIYAVADAN VIJAYBHAI VASAVA on 11/7/2020

the way he takes the course step by step is excellent. and the best thing is that his courses are well organized. and the best of all those thing is that the way he explains each and every topic and concepts is amazing. i just love the way he is teaching. Thank you very much. and i am learning so many new things from his courses :)*
