Master the techniques behind modern ethical hacking by exploring how attackers exploit systems and how defenders can protect them. In this course, you will examine backdoors, privilege escalation, Meterpreter-based exploits, forensic evasion, password attacks, Trojan horse techniques, and Java-based exploits before progressing to advanced network attacks involving ARP poisoning, DNS spoofing, DHCP manipulation, ICMP redirection, and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. You will also investigate denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, malicious network tools, and practical defense strategies.

Designed for students, IT professionals, cybersecurity practitioners, and security enthusiasts, this course combines offensive and defensive perspectives to help you understand real-world attack methods and effective countermeasures. Through structured, step-by-step lessons, you will analyze how attackers establish persistent access, manipulate network traffic, evade forensic analysis, and disrupt services while learning techniques to identify, simulate, and defend against these threats. The course stands out by integrating exploit demonstrations with defensive practices across backdoors, spoofing, network manipulation, and DDoS mitigation in a single learning path. Whether you want to strengthen your penetration testing knowledge or deepen your understanding of ethical hacking and network security, this course provides a practical foundation for analyzing and defending against advanced cyber threats.
