Hacking the Windows API with Python - Real Ethical Hacking

Learn why and how to build a professional portfolio. We will be using this throughout the course!

Setup the lab environment needed for the rest of the course.

We take a deep dive into the topics about Windows Internals that will be used during the course.

We take our first look at a Windows API Call.

We take our first look at issuing a Windows API Call in Python.

We gain our first handle to another Windows Process and learn about Process Access.

We look at our first project! We take multiple Windows API calls and bring them together to kill a process.

This is a full walkthrough of our first project ProcKiller. We will go over in depth how this works and how it was built.

We quickly spoke about Windows Internal Structures before. We take this a step further and implement them into code.

We take a look at how process creation works in the Windows world.

Our first look at using a undocumented Windows API Call.

We take a deeper dive into Token Privileges, more specifically SeDebug.

Now that we understand what a token is we can look at accessing it directly.

Now that we understand the privileges of a token we will want to see how to check for them on a process.

Working with tokens privileges can destroy a process! This about how this can be abused!

We now create our second tool that allows us to impersonate another user on the System! We can expand this even further with more features!

This is a full walkthrough of our second project: Impersonation Tool. We will go over in depth how this works and how it was built.

We take a deeper look at how to actually use PY2EXE to compile our projects.

Congratulations! You should have a solid understanding on Windows API Calls and how to use them in Python! On top of that you should have a growing Portfolio!
