Zaid Sabih – Learn Python & Ethical Hacking From Scratch

Welcome to my comprehensive course on python programming and ethical hacking. The course assumes you have NO prior knowledge in any of these topics, and by the end of it you’ll be at a high intermediate level being able to combine both of these skills to write python programs to hack computer systems exactly the same way that black hat hackers do. That’s not all, you’ll also be able to use the programming skills you learned to write any program even if it has nothing to do with hacking.

This course is highly practical but it won’t neglect the theory, we’ll start with basics of ethical hacking and python programming and installing the needed software. Then we’ll dive and start programming straight away. You’ll learn everything by example , by writing useful hacking programs, no boring dry programming lectures.

The course is divided into a number of sections, each aims to hack a specific system! You’ll first learn how this system works and its weaknesses, then you’ll lean how to write a python program to exploit these weaknesses and hack it. As we write the program I will teach you python programming from scratch covering one topic at a time. By the end of the course you’re going to have a number of ethical hacking programs written by yourself (see below) from backdoors, keyloggers, credential harvesters, network hacking tools, website hacking tools and the list goes on . You’ll also have a deep understanding on how computer systems work, how to model problems, design an algorithm to solve problems and implement the solution using python.

As mentioned in this course you will learn both ethical hacking and programming at the same time, here are  some  of the topics that will be covered in the course:

Programming topics:

• Programming in python 2 and 3.
• Using modules and libraries.
• Variables, types, etc.
• Handling user input.
• Reading and writing files .
• Functions .
• Loops .
• Data structures.
• Regex.
• Decision making.
• Recursion.
• Threading.
• Object oriented programming.
• Packet manipulation using scapy.
• Netfilterqueue.
• Socket programming.
• String manipulation.
• Exceptions.
• Serialisation.
• Compiling programs to binary executables.
• Sending & receiving HTTP requests.
• Parsing HTML.
• + more!
  

Hacking topics:

• Basics of network hacking / penetration testing .
• Changing MAC address & bypassing filtering .
• Network mapping.
• ARP Spoofing – redirects the flow of packets in a network.
• DNS Spoofing – redirect requests from one website to another.
• Spying network devices / clients.
• Analysing network traffic such as usernames, passwords, visited urls, etc.
• Inject code in pages loaded by computerd connected to the same network.
• Replace files on the fly as they get downloaded by computers on the same network.
• Detect ARP spoofing attacks.
• Bypass HTTPS.
• Create malware for Windows, Apple Mac OS and Linux.
• Create trojans for Windows, Apple Mac OS and Linux.
• Hack Windows, Apple Mac OS and Linux using custom backdoors.
• Bypass Anti-Virus programs.
• Steal credentials using fake prompts .
• Display fake updates .
• Use own keylogger to spy on everything typed on Windows & Linux.
• Basics of website hacking / penetration testing .
• Discover subdomains .
• Discover hidden files and directories in a website.
• Run wordlist attacks to guess login information .
• Discover and exploit XSS vulnerabilities.
• Discover weaknesses in websites using own vulnerability scanner.

Programs you’ll build in this course:

You’ll learn all the above by implementing the following hacking programs

• mac_changer – changes MAC Address to whatever we want .
• network_scanner – scans network and discovers the IP and MAC address of connected clients.
• arp_spoofer – runs an ARP spoofing attack to redirect the flow of packets in the network allowing us to intercept data.
• packet_sniffer – filters intercepted data and displays usernames, passwords, visited links, etc.
• dns_spoofer – redirects DNS requests, eg: redirects requests to from one domain to another.
• file_interceptor – Intercepts downloads and replaces them with any file we want .
• code_injector – injects code in intercepted HTML pages.
• arpspoof_detector – detects ARP spoofing attacks.
• execute_command payload – executes a system command on the computer it gets executed on.
• execute_and_report payload – executes a system command and reports result via email .
• download_and_execute payload – downloads a file and executes it on target system .
• download_execute_and_report payload – downloads a file, executes it, and reports result by email .
• reverse_backdoor – gives remote control over the system it gets executed on, allows us to
  • Access file system.
  • Execute system commands .
  • Download & upload files.
• keylogger – records key-strikes and sends them to us by email.
• crawler – discovers hidden paths on a target website .
• discover_subdomains – discovers subdomains on target website .
• spider – maps the whole target website and discovers files, directories and links.
• guess_login – runs a wordlist attack to guess login information.
• vulnerability_scanner – scans a target website for weaknesses and produces a report with all findings .

As you build the above you’ll learn:

• Setting up a penetration testing lab to practice hacking safely.
• Installing Kali Linux and Windows as virtual machines inside ANY operating system.
• Linux Basics .
• Linux terminal basics .
• How networks work .
• How clients communicate in a network.
• Address Resolution Protocol – ARP .
• Network layers.
• Domain Name System – DNS .
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol – HTTP .
• HTTPS .
• How anti-virus programs work .
• Sockets.
• Connecting devices over TCP .
• Transferring data over TCP .
• How website work .
• GET & POST requests.
• And more!

Notes:

• This course is created for educational purposes only and all the attacks are launched in my own lab or against devices that I have permission to test.
• This course is totally a product of Zaid Sabih & zSecurity, no other organization is associated with it or a certification exam. Although, you will receive a Course Completion Certification from Udemy, apart from that NO OTHER ORGANISATION IS INVOLVED.
