Video Description

This video course provides a good starting point to learn ethical hacking and identify threats and vulnerabilities to secure your IT environment.

We'll begin by introducing you to the best tools around, which will be essential to get you started with penetration testing. Next, we'll introduce you to a basic technique that is used in hacking, which is Reconnaissance. You'll get hands on experience working with Metasploit and testing the effectiveness of different defenses. Next, you'll learn about sniffing and how effective the Man in the Middle attack can be. We'll take you through a coffee shop scenario to help you understand better. You'll get a hang of bypassing different defenses, after which, you'll learn how hackers use the network to gain access into different systems.

This course will keep you updated with latest security techniques and methods that can be directly applied to scan, test, hack, and secure networks and systems.
