Hacking

 

1. Introduction to Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking

  • Understanding the importance of cybersecurity
  • Differentiating between black hat, white hat, and gray hat hacking
  • Exploring legal and ethical aspects of hacking

2. Networking Fundamentals

  • Learning about TCP/IP, OSI model
  • Understanding IP addressing, subnets, and CIDR notation
  • Exploring common network protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, DNS, SMTP, etc.)

3. Information Gathering and Reconnaissance

  • Passive vs. active reconnaissance
  • Footprinting and footprinting tools
  • OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) techniques and tools

4. Scanning and Enumeration

  • Port scanning techniques (TCP, UDP)
  • Service enumeration and version detection
  • Banner grabbing

5. Vulnerability Assessment and Exploitation

  • Understanding common vulnerabilities (buffer overflows, SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, etc.)
  • Exploitation frameworks (Metasploit, ExploitDB, etc.)
  • Exploiting vulnerabilities in practice labs

6. Web Application Hacking

  • Evil twin attacks, rogue APs

8. Cryptography

  • Basic principles of cryptography
  • Symmetric vs. asymmetric encryption
  • Hash functions, digital signatures, SSL/TLS

9. Post-Exploitation Techniques

  • Maintaining access (backdoors, rootkits)
  • Privilege escalation
  • Covering tracks (log manipulation, file deletion, etc.)

10. Reporting and Documentation

  • Writing clear and concise reports
  • Presenting findings to stakeholders
  • Understanding compliance standards (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.)
