Exploit Resources and Network Attacks

Course overview

What you'll learn

• How to plan and scope a penetration test as a contracted pen tester for a client (as an ethical hacker, you’ll be the good guy and get paid to hack networks!)

• How to work within a virtual environment to practice your pen testing skills, including using Oracle VM manager, Kali Linux, Metasploitable, and DVWA

• Where to find vulnerabilities and how to penetrate a network in order to run exploits, then how to report those vulnerabilities to the client for remediation

• How to gather intel on a network by scanning and enumerating (finding) targets, then searching out the weak points on those targets

• Understand social engineering attacks, exploit network-based vulnerabilities, and intercept traffic via on-path (man-in-the-middle) attacks

• How to use pen testing tools like Nmap, Nessus, Nslookup, John the Ripper, Immunity Debugger, Aircrack-NG, Wireshark, and many more

• How to write reports, explain post-delivery activities, and recommend remediation strategies to your client
