Discover vulnerabilities as flaws in operating systems and applications, including misconfigurations and weak credentials, and how exploits gain unauthorized access.
Compare manual and automatic exploit discovery, exploring GitHub and WordPress plugin exploits, using search tools like Search Exploits, Metasploit, and Rapid7 for vulnerability research.
Explore Kali Linux, a free Linux-based system packed with hacking and security tools, and learn how to download, install on USB or in virtual machines like VirtualBox or VMware.
Learn to search for exploits with msfconsole on Kali Linux, using commands like search, info, show options, and use to target Windows, Linux, or Android vulnerabilities.
Demonstrates a practical local privilege escalation on Ubuntu 16.x by downloading, compiling, and running a C exploit to gain root access, with emphasis on matching kernel versions.
Discover how Metasploit searches for exploits, targets Windows 2000, and demonstrates exploit usage and outcomes like crashing a server, highlighting vulnerability research across platforms.
You may have heard about vulnerabilities and exploits?
Many computers get hacked, often because the computer is running old software. How can you know if your computer is vulnerable and how do exploits work?
In this course you will learn how to find exploits, how to find which software is vulnerable, how run exploits and many more basics.
By the end of this course, you should be able to exploit an Ubuntu 16.04 computer and a Windows 2000 computer. In the course I use Virtual Box to create the different hacking environments, but of course if you have multiple computers you can also do that.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to describe what vulnerabilities are, to tell where you can find vulnerabilities, to configure and run exploits using metasploit and more. this is a beginners course, if you are totally new to hacking and want to start a career into cyber security or are just curious about hacking, this course is for you.
The course doesn't have any prior knowledge requirements, but it is recommended that you have Kali Linux at hand. You can get it for free, its a system for computer hacking. Besides downloading it and putting it onto a usb, you can ship a Kali Live USB to your home
