Video description

This course is highly practical and is divided into several sections, each of which aims to achieve a specific goal; the goal is usually to hack into a specific system so that you can practice all the skills and techniques you learn in real time. We will start by setting up an ethical hacking lab on your computer. Here, you can put the theory you learn to the test and have a safe space to practice using hacking tools and attacks. We’ll experience real-time hacking examples and learn how to protect ourselves against these attacks at the same time!

In this course, you will learn the following:

- How hackers launch attacks on different systems, computers, users, websites, and wireless networks

- What tools hackers use, why and how they work

- How to protect yourself (or your clients!) against these attacks

- How to build your security and hacking tools with Python from scratch and with no programming experience necessary

- How to create your own ethical hacking tool portfolio

In the relevant sections, you will learn about subjects such as Kali Linux, Wireshark, Maltego, net discover, MSFC, Trojan, Backdoor, Veil, Metasploitable, SQLi, MITMf, Crunch, Meterpreter, Beef, Apache, Nmap, SQLMap, Python, Socket, Scapy, Pynput, Keylogger, and more. We start with practical information without excessive detail and progress accordingly without neglecting the theory at the end.

What You Will Learn

  • Learn to use Kali Linux tools
  • Learn basic Python programming concepts and fundamentals
  • Write ethical hacking tools with Python
  • Perform wireless networks penetration testing
  • Learn website and system penetration testing
  • Apply SQL Injection

Audience

This course targets people who are keen to learn ethical hacking once and for all, are looking forward to a career in cybersecurity, who want to learn Python programming for ethical hacking, are willing to write their own cybersecurity tools, are passionate about Kali Linux and general ethical hacking tools, and are anxious to enhance their IT skills and prepare for hacker attacks.
