Description
Welcome to the Penetration Testing for Beginners course!
Penetration testing skills make you a more marketable IT tech. In this course, I am going to show you the basics of Penetration Testing/hacking which will support you to start by yourself to develop your Penetration Testing/hacking skills to an advanced level. This course considers you have No prior knowledge in Penetration Testing/hacking. This course will take you from a beginner to a more advanced level with hands-on examples. and by the end of this course, you'll be able to hack any system like Windows/Linux/Android and become an expert ethical hacker and keep yourself secured like Information security experts!
Penetration testing is also known as pen testing or ethical hacking. It describes the intentional launching of simulated cyberattacks that seek out exploitable vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, websites, and applications. This course is practical but it will not ignore the theory. We will start with Kali Linux basics, then will try to make you comfortable with the Linux environment. Then we will learn how to install the needed software (VirtualBox, Kali Linux, Metasploitable2, Windows 10) as virtual machines then we will start the Penetration Testing/hacking with the complete Penetration testing process from Information gathering to exploitation, maintaining access to clearing logs and Final report generation with impact and remediation.
Note: This course is created for educational purposes and all the information learned should be used when the attacker is authorized. all the attacks are launched in my own lab or against systems that I have permission to test.
