Linux and Windows Pentesting with Python and Kali Linux

Linux and Windows Pentesting with Python and Kali Linux

Video Learning Path Overview

A Learning Path is a specially tailored course that brings together two or more different topics that lead you to achieve an end goal. Much thought goes into the selection of the assets for a Learning Path, and this is done through a complete understanding of the requirements to achieve a goal.

As hackers become more skilled and sophisticated, it puts the responsibility of business owners to ensure that their cybersecurity systems can protect against threats. One of the most important techniques that companies can use to defend themselves is penetration testing.

This Learning Path is architected to help you not only learn about the threats and safeguarding network, websites but also learn how to penetrate and gain access into the targets system. Beginning with an introduction to penetration testing on the most vulnerable OS, Windows, using Kali Linux you will practically learn to gather information about the target network and websites to discover all the vulnerable ports. Moving on, you’ll break into websites using various pentesting tools and learn how to present your test reports.

Once you are comfortable in using Kali Linux and its well-known tools, you’ll explore another fantastic tool, the Python language. You’ll learn to implement hacking tools and techniques such as debuggers, fuzzers, etc. Furthermore, you’ll be excited in learning to extend the popular Burp Suite web-hacking tool to perform a man-in-the-browser attack, and exfiltrate data from a network most sneakily.

This three-piece-Learning-Path is a practical approach with step by step guide to teach you to use Kali Linux tools along with python scripts. It then helps you exploring the key topics incisively with the combined use of theory and practical demonstrations to help the viewer get a broad understanding of the topic.
