Explore Kali Linux's categorized tools in the applications menu, including information gathering, vulnerability analysis, web application analysis, password attacks, and database assessment.
Learn how netcat transfers files between Linux and Windows machines, using a port 4444 listener to move files like abc.txt as a proof of concept for remote file transfer.
Explore Wireshark traffic by tracing the TCP three-way handshake, DNS resolution, and an HTTP GET exchange between client and server, then follow the TCP stream for insights.
Use nmap to scan ports, services, and operating system on a target and learn to sniff traffic with Wireshark, filtering by IP to distinguish open versus closed ports.
Learn how to gather passive information for penetration testing using Kali Linux, starting with the target’s website and Google search operators like site: to uncover subdomains and exposed data.
Explore how to use nmap for deeper target discovery, including banner grabbing for service versions, operating system identification, and aggressive scans, with guidance on saving results to a file.
Explore Zenmap, the graphical interface for nmap, to run intensive scans, map network topology, view open ports, operating systems, and vulnerabilities, and compare GUI with command-line options.
Crack ssh on a Kali Linux system by targeting port 22, using a password file and word list, and learn how to create effective word lists for password cracking.
Explore SQL injection concepts, weaknesses, and how attackers access databases to dump credentials in a safe simulation. Practice with Kali Linux tools on real-life scenarios under legal guidelines.
Welcome to the comprehensive course "Hacking Using Kali Linux from A to Z." This program is designed for learners who are interested in ethical hacking and network security and wish to familiarize themselves with the world of cybersecurity using Kali Linux.
This course starts from scratch, introducing you to the concept of hacking and how Kali Linux, a powerful tool for hackers (ethical ones), plays a crucial role. After a brief introduction, we start by guiding you on setting up your own virtual lab and workspace, which will act as your personal sandbox for practicing the concepts you'll learn.
After setting up the workspace, we introduce you to the Kali Linux interface, exploring its functions, services, and integral tools. Here, we cover Penetration Testing Phases, ways to update and upgrade Kali Linux, and basic command-line functions. Further, we dig into managing Kali Linux Services such as HTTP and SSH.
Next, we will dive into various essential tools used in hacking, like Netcat and Wireshark, and their functionalities. You will learn how to transfer files, perform remote administration, analyze network traffic, and explore multiple real-life examples.
The course will then guide you through the methods of Passive and Active Information Gathering. You'll learn to use tools like NMAP, Zenmap, and Enum4Linux for network scanning and enumeration, and Google hacking for information gathering.
In the password attacks section, you will understand the intricacies of password cracking using tools like XHydra and Ncrack, along with creating effective wordlists using Crunch.
The subsequent parts of the course will focus on Web Application Attacks and Network Attacks. You'll get to learn about SQL Injection, DNS Spoofing, enabling routing, and using tools like SQLMAP and Ettercap.
In the Social Engineering section, we introduce you to the human aspect of cybersecurity, where you will learn how to craft spoofed emails, use the Social Engineering Toolkit (SET), and manage Meterpreter sessions.
Towards the end, we delve deeper into working with exploits using tools like Metasploit and Armitage. Here, we explain how to penetrate networks, manage sessions, and fix common issues in these tools.
Finally, we discuss remote attacks and port forwarding, where you'll gain practical knowledge about hacking remote systems.
This course is designed to give you a hands-on approach to ethical hacking. By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of Kali Linux, its tools, and methods used by ethical hackers to protect networks from threats. Embrace the world of ethical hacking with this course and step up your cybersecurity game.
