Ethical Hacking – Penetration Testing is a comprehensive, step-by-step course that teaches you how professional penetration testers simulate real-world cyberattacks to identify, exploit, and report security weaknesses across modern IT environments.

This course follows the complete penetration testing lifecycle — from reconnaissance and scanning to exploitation, post-attack analysis, and reporting — giving you a structured, methodology-driven approach used by real ethical hackers.

What You’ll Learn

Core concepts and goals of penetration testing
Professional penetration testing methodologies
Reconnaissance, scanning, and enumeration techniques
Exploitation of systems, networks, web apps, and wireless targets
Sniffing, session hijacking, and social engineering attacks
Testing firewalls, IDS/IPS, cloud platforms, and mobile devices
How to combine findings into a complete penetration test

Course Modules

1. Understanding Penetration Testing

What penetration testing is (and what it is not)
Types of penetration tests (black-box, white-box, gray-box)
Rules of engagement and legal considerations
Pen testing vs vulnerability assessment

2. Reconning / Footprinting the Target

Passive vs active reconnaissance
OSINT gathering techniques
Identifying exposed assets and attack surfaces

3. Scanning the Target

Network and port scanning
Service and version detection
Vulnerability scanning techniques

4. Enumerating the Target

User, service, and resource enumeration
Protocol-based enumeration methods
Extracting useful data for exploitation

5. Hacking the Target

Exploitation fundamentals
Gaining initial access
Privilege escalation concepts
Maintaining access

6. Sniffing the Target

Packet sniffing techniques
Credential interception
Man-in-the-middle attack concepts

7. Social Engineering the Target

Human-based attack vectors
Phishing, pretexting, and baiting
Why humans are often the weakest link

8. DoS / DDoS Attacks

Denial-of-Service concepts
Distributed DoS attack types
Impact on availability and business operations

9. Session Hijacking the Target

Session management weaknesses
Cookie theft and reuse
Hijacking authenticated sessions

10. Targeting Web Servers

Web server misconfigurations
Outdated services and weak settings
Attacking server-side components

11. Hitting Web Applications

Common web application vulnerabilities
Injection attacks and authentication flaws
Input validation weaknesses

12. Looking at the Wi-Fi

Wireless reconnaissance
Wireless encryption weaknesses
Attacking Wi-Fi networks

13. Focusing on Mobile Devices

Mobile attack vectors
Android and iOS security concerns
Mobile application risks

14. Targeting Firewalls and IDS

Firewall evasion techniques
IDS/IPS detection methods
Bypassing network defenses

15. Going After the Cloud

Cloud attack surfaces
Misconfigured cloud services
Shared responsibility model risks

16. How to Bring It All Together

Combining findings from all attack phases
Penetration testing workflow recap
Reporting vulnerabilities clearly and professionally

Who This Course Is For

Aspiring ethical hackers and penetration testers
Cybersecurity students and professionals
IT administrators and SOC analysts
Anyone wanting real-world hacking methodology knowledge

Why This Course Matters

Penetration testing is the backbone of proactive cybersecurity. Organizations rely on ethical hackers to think like attackers, expose weaknesses, and prevent real-world breaches.

By completing this course, you will understand not just how attacks happen — but why they succeed and how to stop them before real attackers exploit them.
