Book Description
This course takes learners on a structured journey through the essentials of ethical hacking, emphasizing hands-on skill development. Beginning with Kali Linux setup, virtualization, and system navigation, students gain a solid foundation for secure and efficient penetration testing environments. Step-by-step guidance ensures mastery of tools like VirtualBox, Burp Suite, and Dirbuster while addressing real-world installation challenges.
The curriculum delves into web security, covering HTML and PHP injections, command execution, SSI vulnerabilities, directory traversal, and cross-site scripting (XSS). Students practice SQL injection techniques from basic to advanced, exploring GET requests, blind injections, and automated tools like SQLMap. Each module emphasizes practical application through lab exercises that simulate realistic hacking scenarios.
Learners progress to advanced testing with SSRF, information gathering, API penetration testing, and ethical exploitation of vulnerabilities in live environments. The course integrates professional reporting and legal frameworks, equipping students to conduct live bug bounty programs responsibly. By course completion, students possess comprehensive skills to identify, exploit, and mitigate security vulnerabilities while adhering to ethical standards.
