Description

Hacking With Kali Linux is a hands-on course for learning Kali Linux from the ground up and using it for ethical hacking. It is built for beginners and intermediate students: you install Kali, get comfortable on the command line, then use Kali Linux for ethical hacking and penetration testing against your own lab target.

What you will learn

• Setting up Kali: install Kali on VirtualBox or use a ready-made virtual machine, the root user and desktop environments.

• The command line: files and folders, package management with APT, archives, wildcards, man pages, permissions, users, processes and piping.

• Networking with Kali: turn your Kali machine into an SSH server and a web server, and fix SSH access.

• Penetration testing with Kali Linux: port scanning, vulnerability scanning with Nessus and Nmap, attacks on FTP, SSH, web and database services, password cracking, sniffing and privilege escalation.

• Metasploit and Armitage: automated hacking with Armitage and building a Metasploit backdoor.

• Shells: web shells, bind shells and reverse shells, and how attackers use them.

• Hacking like the bad guys: a full mission from port scan to break-in, SSH access and cracked passwords, then a final mission on your own.

Every part is practical: you set up your own target and work through real attacks step by step. Only test systems you have permission to test.
