Welcome to this comprehensive course on Ethical Hacking. This course assumes you have NO prior knowledge in hacking and by the end of it, you should be able to hack systems like black-hat hackers and secure them like security experts. This course is highly practical, but it will not neglect the theory, so we will begin with ethical hacking basics and the different fields in penetration testing, installing the needed and then we will start hacking systems straight away. From here onwards you will learn everything by example, by analysing and exploiting computer systems such as networks, servers, clients, websites and more.The course is divided into a number of sections, each section covers a penetration testing / hacking field, in each of these sections you'll first learn how the target system works, the weaknesses of this system, and how to practically exploit theses weaknesses and hack into it, not only that but you will also learn how to secure this system from the discussed attacks. This course will take you from a beginner to a more advanced level by the time you finish, you will have knowledge about most penetration testing fields. This book will ultimately enable you to become an Ethical Hacker that can Hack Computer Systems like Black Hat Hackers and Secure them like Security Experts.All the techniques in this course are practical and work against real systems, you will understand the whole mechanism of each technique first, then you will learn how to use it to hack into the target system, so by the end of the course you will be able to modify the these techniques to launch more powerful attacks, and adopt them to different situations and different scenarios.You will learn the following: -Start from scratch up to a high-intermediate level-Learn what is ethical hacking, its fields and the different types of hackers-Install hacking lab & needed software-Hack & secure both WiFi & wired networks-Discover vulnerabilities & exploit them hack into servers-Hack secure systems using client-side and social engineering attacks-Use 40+ hacking tools such as Metasploit, Aircrack-ng, SQLmap.....etc-Understand how websites work, how to discover & exploit web vulnerabilities to gain control over websites-Secure systems from all the attacks shown-Install Kali Linux - a penetration testing operating system-Install Windows & vulnerable operating systems as virtual machines for testing-Learn linux basics-Learn Learn linux commands and how to interact with the terminal-Learn Network Penetration Testing-Network basics & how devices interact inside a network-Perform several practical attacks that can be used without knowing the key to the target network-Control connections of clients around you without knowing the password.-Gather detailed information about clients and networks like their OS, opened ports ...etc.-Crack WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryptions using several methods.-ARP Spoofing/ARP Poisoning-Launch Various Man In The Middle attacks.-Gain access to any account accessed by any client in your network.-Sniff packets from clients and analyse them to extract info such as: passwords, cookies, urls, videos, images.-Discover open ports, installed services and vulnerabilities on computer systems-Gain control over computer systems using server-side attacks-Exploit buffer overflows and code execution vulnerabilities to gain control over systems-Gain control over computer systems using client-side attacks-Gain control over computer systems using fake updates-Gain control over computer systems by backdooring downloads on the fly-Create undetectable backdoors-Backdoor normal programs-Backdoor any file type such as pictures, pdf's ...etc.-Gather information about people, such as emails, social media accounts, emails and friends-Use social engineering to gain full control over target systems
