Explore core cyber security topics—from malware basics and the virus-versus-worm distinction to firewalls—and set the mindset to learn security analysis, network and web security, pen testing, and cyber management.
Examine the general hacking methodology from reconnaissance and exploitation through privilege escalation, persistence, attack, and cover up, including passive and active reconnaissance, backdoors, and data exfiltration.
Download Kali Linux ISO, set up a VirtualBox VM, configure memory, processors, and storage, attach the ISO, and perform a graphic install before testing internet access.
Explains how phishing emails impersonating PayPal are crafted to deceive victims, using logos, urgency, and spoofed branding, and how attackers harvest credentials.
Explore how devices use internal IP addresses behind a single public IP, as a router translates requests with network address translation for internet access and security.
Hardening networks with IDS and IPS, using signature based and anomaly based detection, and applying a playbook to change default credentials, patch systems, enforce secure protocols, and disable unused ports.
Explore advanced firewall and intrusion detection system evasion techniques, including packet fragmentation, decoys, port spoofing, and data strings used in Nmap scans.
Explore how a mask attack replaces brute force by exploiting known password patterns for lowercase, uppercase, digits, and special characters, with examples in hashcat targeting an md5 hash.
Explore passwords and hashes, understand brute force attacks, and learn to use Hashcat to launch different kinds of brute force attacks.
Explore how a website loads: the browser checks local cache or queries DNS for an IP, then fetches content from the web server, with cache clearing tips.
Learn to crawl and audit a demo site with Burp Suite, set scope, run fastest crawl and light active audit, review severities and confidence, and generate html or xml reports.
Learn to strategize a phishing attack, including impersonating Cloudflare, cloning a login page, and crafting deceptive emails, while stressing permission and ethical safeguards.
