Learning Network Penetration Testing with Kali Linux

This video provides an overview of the entire course.

This video aims to introduce you to Kali Linux.

This video discusses the required hardware and software that will allow us to install and run Kali Linux.

Installing Kali Linux in a virtual environment.

This video shows how to install Kali Linux on a Raspberry Pi device.

This video gives a brief introduction to the Kali Linux interface and tools.

Keeping Kali Linux up to date.

Some of the networking fundamentals and terms that we are going to use throughout this course.

Why is it important to have a pen-testing lab environment?

In this video, we will discuss what penetration testing is and why you might want to learn it.

This video represents a short introduction to the first phase of pen-testing-reconnaissance.

What is vulnerability scanning?

Third phase of pen-testing-gaining and maintaining access.

Last phase of a hacking attack-covering tracks.

Obtain passive information about our target.

It's time to perform some active reconnaissance.

Using Kali Linux tools, we try to discover the open ports available in our target machine.

Discover the services that are running on our target machine and its operating system.

Discovering vulnerabilities in our target system using the OpenVAS vulnerability scanner.

Discover the services that are vulnerable on our target system using the Nessus scanner.

Time to exploit the vulnerabilities found on our target system.

We copied the system passwords from the target machine to our Kali Linux machine. Now it's time to crack those passwords.

Discussion about the post-exploitation phase.

What can a system administrator do against these hacking attacks?
