Follow along with hands-on practice inside the interface, testing what you learn and repeating sessions as you set up and install the software, while freelancing sites pay you to learn.

Three key ideas for success using this course.
Installing VirtualBox with rpm plus why use a virtual machine.8:58
Learn to set up a safe, isolated lab by installing VirtualBox across operating systems, confirm architecture, download the rpm, and install via rpm or yum for Kali Linux practice.
Installing VirtualBox using the default package manager from repositories.15:01
Install virtual box using the default package manager from repositories with yum, after enabling RPM Fusion, by selecting the package that matches your kernel version and architecture, then run updates.
Creating the virtual environment.13:35
Create a Kali Linux virtual environment by downloading the ISO or torrent, configuring VirtualBox with 2 GB RAM and a 150 GB dynamic disk, and mounting the ISO for installation.
Installing VirtualBox Guest Additions14:40
configure the repositories and install dkms and linux-headers, then mount the VirtualBox guest additions cd and install the guest additions for full screen, shared clipboard, and drag-and-drop.

Introduction to the Linux terminal.9:31
Open the Kali Linux terminal and customize font, colors, and profiles. Explore tabs, headers, and the terminal's kernel interface for broader uses like network administration and troubleshooting.
Linux Command-Line Interface (CLI) basics.14:04

The Linux CLI explained in greater detail to give you a good understanding.15:26
Master the Linux command line by using cat, grep, and less to view text, create files with touch, and manage permissions with chown and chmod.

Tor part 1.10:58
Learn how to stay anonymous using Tor, proxies, and a VPN, install Tor on Kali Linux, create a non-root user, and access the dark web safely.
Proxychains part 1.12:01
Learn to configure proxychains with tor to anonymize traffic across applications, using dynamic chains and socks5 proxies, and understand dns leak protections.
VPN part 1.6:08
Learn to connect to a vpn, install required vpn plugins, fix network manager by enabling managed settings, restart the service, and prepare to test vpn connections in part two.
Macchanger part 1.12:23
Learn what a mac address is and how the macchanger tool lists interfaces, changes addresses, and the role of vendor bytes.
Nmap part 1.17:34
Learn to use Nmap from the terminal to perform footprinting scans, identify open ports, and infer operating systems, with guidance on permissions, stealth, and banner grabbing.
Intro to wifi hacker cracking WPA⁄WPA2.15:14
Explore wireless hacking fundamentals, comparing WEP and WPA/WPA2, and learn password cracking with aircrack-ng and reaver. Prepare a Kali Linux setup and practical router-focused vulnerability testing.
Aircrack and reaver installation.12:44
Learn to install aircrack-ng on Linux systems and download, compile, and install reaver from source, guided by readme instructions and dependencies.
Aircrack-ng crunch usage example 1.11:04
Set up a wireless card in monitor mode. Use Aircrack-ng to scan networks and capture a handshake, then crack the encryption on a permitted network for ethical testing.
Performing denial of service on wireless networks part 1.13:14
Explains denial of service attacks on wireless networks, showing how attackers deny access via router resets and monitor mode, channel, and MAC address manipulation.

Requirements

Reliable and fast internet connection.
Wireless networking card.
