Description

Course Overview

This course provides learners with real practical hands-on learning to gain real-world experience as a penetration tester or an ethical hacker (white, grey, or black).

This course provides a fundamental look at offensive security concepts and techniques using a virtual install of Kali Linux and three different target victims, Windows XP, Windows 7, Server 2008, and Linux (Metesploitable2).  This course provides a practical 100% hands-on approach to becoming an ethical hacker or a pentester.

How is the course structured?

The course uses short video tutorials and lab files that provide a practical step-by-step learning experience of ethical hacking methodologies. Students will use the same tools and open-source software used by professional penetration testers and ethical hackers and hackers.

This course provides videos, lab files, and links for downloading the free and open-source software used throughout this course.

You will build a virtual install of Kali Linux and Windows XP for the virtual lab environment. You should complete the first lab of this course before enrolling.  Starting with lab 2, we will begin scanning and attacking a Windows XP  victim. If a learner cannot complete the labs in section 2 of the course, there is no need to enroll since all labs followed are dependent on the first lab being completed.

You will learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be taken to stop them, the importance of a strong firewall, keeping systems and software updated, and the use of complex passwords.

You will also learn how to launch DDoS Attacks, Buffer Overflows, keylogging, and password hacking.  Completing the course will help prepare an individual for an entry-level position as a pen-tester or ethical hacker. On completing this course,  you will receive a course completion.

If you would like to discuss ethical hacking or watch someone talk theory, there are plenty of lecture courses on Udemy. However, to complete this course, students must demonstrate the practical concepts of offensive hacking. In other words, learners will learn by doing.

I love this course! Pro. K is far more detailed than any other instructor I've taken classes with. One unique feature is that he provides a in-depth, detailed step-by-step set of instruction downloadable to print and follow along with while doing his videos, and you can use will after you've completed his course. Very professional and a gets right back with you when you have a question or problem. He's an A+ in my book.
