Become a Professional Penetration Tester

Explore concepts of undetectable malware and payload encoding using msfpayload and msfencode within a penetration testing context.

Learn how to use msfvenom to craft and test a malware template in a controlled lab, exploring exploitation, reversal, and post exploitation methods.

Explore how malicious pdf file infection and payload delivery work, including using exploits, metasploit, and local host configurations, to strengthen professional penetration testing skills.

Learn how to perform a http basic authentication dictionary attack with Burpsuite, intercepting target login requests, crafting dictionary payloads, and validating successful logins.

Explore beef, the browser exploitation framework, to hook a victim and inject malicious code into a linked test site, then use the port scanner to analyze a target network.

Demonstrates SQL injection techniques to locate a vulnerable site, enumerate database columns and tables, and retrieve usernames and passwords to access a target account.

Demonstrates a step-by-step sql injection to identify a vulnerable web page, enumerate tables with union select, uncover usernames and passwords, and login using admin credentials to illustrate defense strategies.

Explore how sql injection can bypass authentication by injecting payloads into input fields like the name field, and learn how to validate inputs and consider ethics to prevent such attacks.

Learn to bypass client-side security protections by using Firefox extensions to manipulate HTTP headers and inject payloads into user inputs, illustrating real-world web page vulnerabilities.

Explore directory traversal attacks and local file inclusion vulnerabilities that enable unauthorized access to restricted files, explain the difference between inclusion and reading resources within a web application.

The lecture explains cross-site request forgery as a malicious exploit where attackers use a crafted web page and social engineering to trigger actions on trusted sites.

Identify target web server information by discovering subdomains, checking DNS servers, and detecting open or filtered ports while using tools to identify target information and analyze network posture.

Explore the OWASP ZAP open source web application security scanner to perform targeted tests, analyze results, and identify web application vulnerabilities using payloads.

Explore how a man-in-the-middle attack intercepts and potentially alters communication by spoofing victims on a local network, capturing credentials and testing defenses.

Learn to configure a wireless network interface controller to monitor mode and capture traffic from the wireless network using a laptop-connected adapter.

Learn how to create a fake access point to demonstrate credential harvesting, using Debian-based tooling and network interface setup within ethical guidelines for penetration testing.

Learn to enable monitor mode, capture traffic with airodump-ng, select a target network, and perform a dictionary-based attack using aircrack-ng.

Learn how to perform an evil twin attack by creating a fake access point with the target's name, redirect traffic, and harvest credentials via a fake web page.
