Description

Ethical hacking is a critical skill in modern cybersecurity, allowing professionals to proactively discover and fix system weaknesses before they can be exploited. In this hands-on course, you will learn the tools, techniques, and ethical framework behind professional penetration testing. You’ll start with legal and ethical considerations, including rules of engagement, compliance requirements, and how to conduct tests responsibly. From there, the course walks you through each stage of the pentesting process: reconnaissance, scanning and enumeration, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting. You’ll use real-world tools like Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark, and password-cracking utilities to simulate attacks against lab environments. Key topics include web application testing, network service exploitation, social engineering simulations, and wireless network attacks. You’ll also learn how to write detailed vulnerability reports, communicate findings to stakeholders, and recommend effective remediation strategies. Whether you’re preparing for a career in cybersecurity, pursuing a certification like CEH or OSCP, or simply want to think like an attacker to become a better defender, this course is your gateway to ethical hacking mastery.
