Introduction to Network Pentesting Course Learning Outcomes:
Gain practical skills in network penetration testing with a comprehensive course covering analysis, exploitation, and defense techniques across various protocols and services.
Learning Objectives and Outcomes:
- Understand the ethical and legal implications of penetration testing as outlined in the Disclaimer.
- Analyze network traffic and identify vulnerabilities using Wireshark, focusing on packet forensics and protocol analysis.
- Master network scanning techniques with NMAP for host discovery, port scanning, and service identification, including advanced firewall evasion tactics.
- Employ Metasploit for developing, testing, and executing exploit code against a remote target machine and perform post-exploitation tasks.
- Conduct dictionary and brute-force attacks against network services using tools like Hydra, Medussa, and Mimikatz.
- Perform penetration testing on various network protocols such as FTP, SSH, Telnet, SMTP, DNS, DHCP, NetBIOS, SMB, SNMP, MSSQL, and MySQL.
- Utilize advanced penetration testing techniques for Remote Desktop (RDP) and Virtual Network Computing (VNC) services.
- Understand and apply techniques for sniffing and spoofing network traffic to gain unauthorized access and capture sensitive data.
- Learn to configure and use SOCKS proxies for routing traffic through compromised hosts to perform indirect network reconnaissance and attacks.
- Get hands-on experience with setting up and bypassing Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), firewalls, and honeypots.
- Understand and perform various types of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and utilize tools for stress testing network resilience.
- Apply social engineering techniques for crafting and delivering payloads that exploit human vulnerabilities.
- Learn strategies for covering tracks and maintaining persistent access to compromised systems, including registry and log manipulation.
- Evaluate network security using vulnerability assessment tools such as GFI Languard, Nexpose, Openvas, and MBSA.
