Ethical Hacking - Kali Linux for beginners with an e-book

Demonstrate a two-interface topology in a home lab with a Kali Linux VM and a Windows 10 device, using static IP addresses to simulate denial of service from the internet.

Explore how denial-of-service attacks work, including ICMP and UDP flood methods, Smurf and DDoS concepts, and how defenders analyze traffic to prevent malicious traffic.

Demonstrate launching ICMP and UDP denial-of-service simulations from Kali Linux against a Windows 10 VM, using hping3 and Wireshark to observe flood traffic and random source IPs.

Discover ethical hacking on Kali Linux by locating an IP camera, identifying its MAC address, and probing ports with Nmap and IP scanners.

Examine how SYN flood attacks exploit the three-way handshake to overwhelm a server with thousands of SYN messages, using random sources to flood remote devices.

See how the guardian application on Kali Linux identifies and blocks a simulated ddos attack, demonstrating packet analysis and blocking in a beginner-friendly demonstration.

Learn how password strength resists brute force and dictionary attacks, generate wordlists with crunch, and crack archives using zip and fcrackzip, while exploring offline password managers like key parts.

Create targeted word lists with crunch, build dictionaries for seven-character passwords, and crack a zip archive using brute-force or dictionary attacks.

Explore how hashes ensure data integrity by verifying software downloads against vendor hashes using SHA-256, and learn how hash differences reveal tampering and how to look up hashes in Kali.

Practice a dictionary attack on a network device using Medusa on Kali Linux, with login and password lists, and explore blocking and console backdoor options for Telnet, SSL, and SSH.

Explore how a man-in-the-middle attack uses ARP spoofing to redirect a victim’s traffic for sniffing and SSL interception, and how dynamic ARP inspection can detect it.

Run a man in the middle ARP poisoning lab, verify IPs, configure router and target, spoof ARP entries with Kali Linux, and confirm spoofing by checking ARP and MAC addresses.

This lecture shows creating a backdoor on Kali Linux to gain remote access, including building a payload, enabling a keylogger, and capturing screenshots from a remote machine.

discover how social engineering creates a fake website to harvest a user name and password, including redirects and offline Kali Linux lab testing.

Explores how the WannaCry attack leveraged the SMB MS17-010 vulnerability (eternalblue) to gain remote access on a Windows 7 VM, including verification with nmap and exploitation steps.

Discover ethical hacking basics by illustrating remote access with netcat, firewall and antivirus challenges, and registry-entry automation on a Windows 10 VM.

Demonstrates a rogue dhcp server attack using Kali Linux tools like tftpd64 and Yersinia, exhausting IP addresses by flooding the network with bogus IP requests from multiple devices.

Test a web server's resilience by simulating traffic across standard ports, using Kali Linux tools to observe service availability and generate test reports for stakeholders.

Discover a user-friendly Kali Linux package that demonstrates network scanning, open ports, and basic code injection into a test VM, using commands like scan, ping, DNS, and back.

Explore ssl stripping and its man-in-the-middle attack to capture ssl traffic by altering routing and redirecting ports, demonstrating that ssl alone may not protect online traffic.

Explore command execution and cookie manipulation on a vulnerable web server, using proxy tools to intercept, modify cookies, and test security levels from high to low.

Explore DNS spoofing and ARP spoofing in a hands-on lab, installing better cop, setting targets, and creating DNS entries to redirect traffic to spoofed sites on a Windows 10 VM.

Install pfSense by creating a new virtual machine, allocating RAM, configuring LAN and WAN NICs, enabling DHCP, and setting an admin password, then check for updates.

Configure pfSense firewall rules and enable snort IDS/IPS with community rules and automatic updates. Test with a VM attack and observe snort detecting and logging scans through the firewall.

Learn to ethically crack WPA passphrases in a controlled home lab using Kali Linux, capturing a four-way handshake and performing an offline dictionary attack.

Crack a WPA password by using aircrack-ng with airodump-ng in monitor mode to capture the handshake, then perform a dictionary attack with a prepared wordlist.

Explore two essential network protocols: dhcp, which assigns ip addresses via a dhcp server, and dns, which translates a domain name into an ip address.

Boost wireless performance by optimizing router placement, scanning channels, and choosing 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz options, with insights on channel 1, 6, and 11 and 802.11ac reliability.

Learn how port forwarding enables remote access to devices behind a router by mapping public to private IPs using remote desktop protocol, with a hands-on router setup.

Set up and connect to an OpenVPN server using a virtual machine, Hyper-V, or VirtualBox, then configure the client and test the connection.

Enable an IPsec VPN on a Synology NAS by installing the VPN server package, selecting L2TP/IPsec, setting a unique IP range and pre-shared key, then test from Windows 10.
