Original Description
By the end of this course, learners will be able to perform advanced reconnaissance using Nmap and DNS tools, evaluate social engineering and phishing techniques, differentiate between malware types, and simulate backdoor exploitation with persistence strategies. The course emphasizes hands-on application in Kali Linux, enabling students to develop practical penetration testing skills.
Participants will benefit from structured, module-wise learning that covers both technical and human-centric aspects of cybersecurity. From gathering domain intelligence with OSINT tools to analyzing phishing attacks and defending against rootkits, the course equips learners with actionable skills used by professional ethical hackers.
What makes this course unique is its balance between technical demonstrations and real-world attack simulations. Learners will not only understand how attacks occur but also practice defending against them in a controlled environment. This dual perspective—attacker and defender—ensures a comprehensive understanding of penetration testing and cybersecurity defense strategies.
