Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking
This Ethical Hacking and Cybersecurity course is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed to take learners from absolute fundamentals to advanced penetration testing and exploit development. Starting with an introduction to cybersecurity, hacking concepts, and ethical hacking methodologies, the course builds a solid foundation in networking, operating systems, and virtualization before diving into real-world attack and defense techniques.
Learners will begin by setting up their own ethical hacking lab environment using VirtualBox and Kali Linux, mastering the Linux command line, and understanding networking protocols and topologies. They will gain a deep understanding of website fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, HTTP requests) before moving into reconnaissance, scanning, and vulnerability assessment using industry-standard tools such as Nmap, Nessus, and Shodan.
The course explores system hacking for Linux, Windows, and Android platforms, including privilege escalation, malware creation, and remote access techniques. Learners will develop skills in web application penetration testing, covering key attacks such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and data tampering, as well as advanced techniques like session hijacking and man-in-the-middle attacks with Wireshark.
In addition to offensive security skills, students will gain exposure to social engineering techniques (including phishing), security testing with Burp Suite, and Wi-Fi hacking methodologies. The program culminates in a hands-on project, where students document and present their findings like a professional penetration tester.
To prepare learners for the next level, the course also introduces exploit development and reverse engineering, digital forensics and incident response, and CTF-style problem solving. Students will analyze malware, perform memory and disk forensics, hunt threats using logs, and learn reporting best practices. Finally, learners will explore cybersecurity career paths, industry certifications, and portfolio building, positioning themselves for entry-level and intermediate cybersecurity roles.
By the end of this course, students will have a practical, lab-based understanding of how attackers think and operate — and how to defend against them. The focus is on responsible and ethical hacking practices, with an emphasis on legal and safe testing in controlled environments.
By completing this course, learners will be able to:
- Explain core cybersecurity, hacking, and ethical hacking concepts.
- Set up a virtualized hacking lab with Kali Linux and supporting tools.
