Explore the Metasploit framework for penetration testing, from information gathering and scanning to building attack trees and exploiting systems with payloads.
Demonstrate installation and setup of Veil 3.0 framework, including dependencies and troubleshooting, to prepare for creating evasion tools and payloads.
Explore advanced payload creation with Veil Part 2, focusing on encoders and bad characters to alter payload signatures and improve stealth.
Discover how to create and compile a Windows payload with py2exe, deploy it to a Windows host, and verify a session using msf console and a handler.
Bind a payload to a jpg image using an SFX archive, customize the icon to resemble an image, and test the setup across machines.
Generate a payload using a public IP and port, then start a handler to establish a Windows session and move the payload to a Windows machine.
In this course, you will learn how modern malware techniques work from an ethical hacking and cybersecurity research perspective. The focus of this training is to understand how attackers operate so that security professionals can better detect, analyze, and defend against these threats.
We will start by demonstrating how security researchers build and analyze malware samples in controlled lab environments. You will see how payloads can be embedded into files and how these techniques are studied during penetration testing and red team exercises.
Next, we will explore how attackers attempt to compromise fully updated and patched systems. These demonstrations are performed strictly in isolated testing environments to help students understand real‑world attack methodologies and how organizations can defend against them.
The course will also cover the important phase of post‑exploitation and maintaining access, showing how security testers simulate persistence techniques during authorized penetration tests.
Throughout the course, we will examine how modern security solutions such as antivirus, firewalls, and endpoint protection systems attempt to detect malicious activity. By understanding these mechanisms, students will gain valuable insights into both offensive security techniques and defensive strategies.
