White Hat Hacking

In this comprehensive course on White Hat Hacking, you will delve into the world of ethical hacking and learn the necessary skills to identify and secure vulnerabilities in computer systems. The course begins with an introduction, exploring the reasons why learning hacking can be valuable in the context of cybersecurity.

You will then dive into the practical aspects of setting up a hacking lab, installing Kali Linux using pre-built and ISO images, as well as installing Windows and Metasploitable. Learn how to create snapshots to ensure a safe and controlled hacking environment.

Next, you will gain a solid understanding of Kali Linux, its features, and the basics of terminal and Linux commands. Explore how to update source lists and install essential programs for your hacking endeavors.

The course then moves into network penetration testing, starting with an overview of how networks work. Learn how to connect a wireless adapter, change MAC addresses, and configure wireless monitor modes for packet sniffing. Gain hands-on experience with tools like Airodump-ng for packet sniffing and targeted packet sniffing, as well as performing de-authentication attacks and creating fake access points.

You will then delve into gaining access to networks, starting with the theory behind cracking WEP encryption and moving on to practical cases. Explore various techniques for cracking WPA and WPA2 encryption, including exploiting WPS and capturing handshakes. Learn how to create wordlists using Crunch and launch wordlist attacks to crack passwords. Finally, discover methods to secure yourself from these types of attacks.

The course also covers post-connection attacks, where you will learn to gather information using tools like Netdiscover and nmap, perform network scanning, and execute MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attacks using tools like arpspoof and MITMf. Gain insights into bypassing HTTPS, session hijacking, DNS spoofing, capturing keystrokes, and running code on a target’s browser. You will also explore Wireshark for packet capture and analysis, including reading usernames, passwords, and cookies from captured packets.

Additionally, you will be introduced to gaining access to computers and server-side attacks. Learn techniques for information gathering, exploiting misconfigurations, using public exploits, and exploiting remote code execution vulnerabilities. Discover how to set up and use tools like Metasploit Community and Nexpose for initializing scans, analyzing results, and exploiting vulnerabilities.

Throughout the course, you will gain hands-on experience with various hacking techniques and tools, enabling you to understand the methods employed by malicious actors and develop effective countermeasures. Please note that this course is intended for educational purposes only, promoting ethical hacking and security awareness.
