This course starts with the basics of Network Fundamentals to Advance Exploitation.
This course starts with basics with TCP/IP Model and OSI Model and how it can be used in our day to day life. We will also learn TCP, UDP Packets, and Topologies to make our base stronger and then further move on to Ports and Protocols usage with practicals.

In the end, we will see the summary and revision of this section to remember the important Scan Types & key points.
4. In Nmap Target Selection and Techniques, We will cover How can we perform a Host Scan using Nmap. We will also see How to perform a Subnet Scan & Host Discovery to identify Live Hosts.
We will also see the difference between Netdiscover and Nmap Host Discovery and the difference between the output.
Next, we will see, How can we scan a large number of Hosts from files using a file input scan.
We will learn how to exclude hosts from a subnet scan or a File input scan if they are blacklisted or whitelisted into a network.
We will also cover How can we Bypass Windows Firewall Rule with No Host Discovery and successfully identify the information about the target.
5. In Nmap Port Scan and Techniques, We will cover How can we perform a Port Scan using Names and numbers with Nmap. We will also see How to identify only open ports perform a Fast Port Scan.
We will also see Port Knocking of hidden ports, which is useful in Penetration Testing and CTF’s. We will also see How can we scan ports without randomization and in a sequential manner along with scanning of only Top Ports.
