Penetration Testing with Kali Linux

Have you ever wondered how to test the security of web applications? Managing Windows security has always been a challenge for every security professional. Since Windows is the most popular operating system in the company, this course will help you identify and prevent attacks early to protect your data and money! Kali has been identified as the #1 secure operating system for Linux hackers. Kali Linux provides several ways to scan an IP, port, or host (or a set of IPs, ports, and hosts) to identify vulnerabilities and security holes and the output and information this provides can be at the forefront of penetration testing efforts in. This tutorial takes a practical approach with step-by-step recipes to conduct effective penetration testing using the powerful Kali Linux! Initially, you will develop your skills through wireless cracking, Man-in-the-Middle, and Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. Also, explore tools like Metasploit, Wireshark, Nmap, etc. to easily find vulnerabilities! Finally, you can optimize all the steps in a specific penetration testing project that focus on Windows tools and related methods. By the end of the course, you will be one step ahead of hackers by identifying and fixing vulnerabilities in your network as well as performing professional level web penetration testing!

Contents and Overview

This training program consists of 4 complete courses, carefully selected to provide you with the most comprehensive training. The first course, Learning Network Penetration Testing with Kali Linux, is about finding and fixing vulnerabilities in your network. Learn how to test your network against different types of attacks. We will show viewers how to install Kali Linux, discuss the various stages of pen testing, etc. By the end of this section, you will know the tools Kali Linux provides for network penetration testing, how to use vulnerable systems and how to patch they.

The second course, Kali Linux Penetration Testing Recipes, covers End-to-End penetration testing solutions. This course covers several great resources within Kali Linux and you'll use them to perform a full website and server vulnerability test, brute-force your way past passwords, search for back-doors, and other tasks. Finally, you'll create a professional report and hand it to your client.

The third course, Hands-On Web Penetration Testing with Kali Linux, covers testing web security with Kali Linux. Have you ever wondered how to test web applications security? This course will teach you about web application vulnerabilities and how to use Kali Linux tools to perform web penetration testing to professional standards. You will start with application security and learn about the process of web penetration testing. Then you'll create a test lab with Oracle VirtualBox and Kali Linux. Next, you'll learn about common vulnerabilities in web applications with practical examples, which will help you understand the process of penetration testing and the importance of security. Now you'll be introduced to different tools to assess and analyze web application vulnerabilities. In the end, you'll learn to secure web applications.

By the end of the course, you'll be able to perform web penetration testing using Kali Linux.

The fourth course, Practical Windows Penetration Testing, covers Attacking & securing Windows systems with Metasploit and Kali Linux. This course will follow a typical penetration test scenario throughout. At each stage, you will be shown all the necessary tools and techniques, and how they are applied. The whole course is hands-on to guarantee that you gain practical knowledge. You will start by setting up the environment and learn service identification and network scanning techniques. You will master various exploitation and post exploitation techniques. You will also learn to proxy traffic and implement the most famous hacking technique: the pass-the-hash attack.

By the end of this video tutorial, you will be able to successfully identify and tackle the flaws and vulnerabilities within the Windows OS (versions 7, 8.1, 10) using Metasploit and Kali Linux tools.

By the end of the course, you’ll conquer the world of PyTorch to build useful and effective Deep Learning models with the PyTorch Deep Learning framework!
