Introduction0:01
Hacker Methodology3:41
Follow the hacker methodology by performing reconnaissance, enumeration and scanning, gaining access, and escalating privileges (horizontal or vertical to root/administrator). Then cover tracks and report results.
Reconoissance4:36
Execute reconnaissance by gathering publicly available information about targets from the internet, using tools to map websites, domains, emails, and subdomains, and uncover how the site is built, without interaction.
Scanning and Enummeration11:12
Master scanning and enumeration to identify open ports and services on networked machines. Use Go Buster to reveal hidden directories on web servers and assess possible attack paths.
Exploitation14:27
Exploit the exploitation phase by building on reconnaissance and enumeration to identify the attack surface and vulnerabilities, then target web servers, file servers, or other services to gain access.
Privillege Escalation6:49
Explore how privilege escalation moves from user to administrator or root across linux and windows systems. Identify techniques like sudo misuse, weak passwords, and misconfigurations that enable gaining full control.

Requirements

No prior experience required. Kali Linux recommended

Description

Hacking is the art of being one step ahead of the enemy by learning how he thinks and how his systems work. Hackers believe that they can beat the system. The hacker follows a strict methodology in order not to forget anything important.

In this course you will learn the hacker methodology. These are the steps any professional hacker uses, regardless of what system they are attacking.

This is a beginners course and you don't need any prior knowledge about hacking. You will learn all the steps done by hackers. You will also learn how those hacks work in practice using demo labs. While there is a lot more about hacking, this course will give you some clarity about how the process works.

If you are totally new to hacking, this course is for you. You will learn about the steps involved when you want to hack systems or prevent your systems from being hacked. You don't need any prior knowledge when starting this course, but I recommend you to have a Kali Linux system at hand. Either Live USB or inside Virtual box. Some Linux knowledge can help, but is not strictly required.

By the end of this course, you'll know all the steps a hacker takes to break into a system. You'll understand what they'll do after gaining access to a system and you should be able to carry out some small hacks.

Who this course is for:

Beginner Ethical Hackers
