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.
