How to Learn Hacking Part 1: Beginners Course

Designed for newcomers to cyber security, this hands-on course guides you through the process of becoming an ethical hacker by simulating real-world hacking scenarios in a controlled virtual environment. You'll work with industry-standard tools and gain practical skills from day one.

From scanning and reconnaissance to system exploitation and wireless network attacks, you’ll build confidence using Linux, navigate Windows and web vulnerabilities, and understand the mindset of attackers. The course focuses on learning by doing—with every module reinforcing core concepts through step-by-step labs.

• Build and configure a complete virtual hacking lab
  
• Use Nmap, Nessus, and OpenVAS to scan for vulnerabilities
  
• Exploit Windows and Linux systems with tools like MSFVenom and Metasploit
  
• Crack passwords and harvest credentials using Medusa, Hydra, and Mimikatz
  
• Launch wireless attacks including deauthentication and PMKID-based exploits
  
• Execute social engineering and web application attacks
  
• Maintain anonymity and secure your systems post-attack

Completing this course equips you with the practical aspects of ethical hacking—from setting up a virtual machine lab to exploiting vulnerabilities in a controlled environment. You’ll learn to identify vulnerabilities in a target system, perform attacks like SQL injection, and strengthen your computer networking skills.

This hands-on experience prepares you for further certifications and connects you to the wider cyber security community. All you need is an internet connection and the drive to keep learning.
