What are the prerequisites need for this course and why?

In this lecture, I will go over the prerequisites needed to follow this course through. The three things you need are a virtual machine, a working internet connection, and a working wireless card. I will go over these in detail – what they are, how they work and why you need them them.

In this lecture, I will start you off with basic terms used in ethical hacking

I will be talking about some of the basic terms which you will need order to follow this course through. I will go over the three different types of hackers: White Hat Hackers, Grey Hat Hackers and Black Hat Hackers. Everything that we will be doing in this course falls in the white hat category, which include people such pen testers, ethical hackers - people like you and me. The activities of Grey Hat Hacker border between legal and illegal. Black Hat Hackers conduct all sorts of illegal activities: extract new information from certain servers credentials, your card information, take services down usually to extract some sort of financial gain, etc.
I will also go over footprinting, DoS, DDoS, RAT, fishing, rootkit, etc.

We will continue in this lecture going over basic terms used in ethical hacking,

In the previous lecture, we went over basic terms such as DoS, DDoS, RAT, footprinting, fishing, rootkit, etc. Now I will go a step further and tell you about SQL injections, VPNs, proxies, Tor, VPS, key loggers, etc. In future lectures you will see how all of these things play a role in ethical hacking. This is just a basic overview and I will go into great detail of each of these thing in future lectures.

How to install VirtualBox with rpm.

In this lecture, we will begin talking about our working environment. I will go over the virtual machine and explain why we need it. I will show you how you can set up your working environment by installing VirtualBox with rpm, which is one of two methods. I will show you the other method in the following lecture.

Using the default package is another, and more reliable way of installing VirtualBox

In the last lecture, I showed you how to set up your working environment by installing VirtualBox with rpm. In this lecture, I will show you another more reliable way to install virtual box. The procedure is exactly the same, but this time we will be using the default packet manager called "yum" and pull the package from the repositories. Repositories are places where software packages are stored. This is one of those things that you will absolutely need to know how to do because you will be installing and uninstalling a lot of things during the course of your pen testing careers.

Creating the virtual environment with Kali Linux

In this lecture, I will begin to show you how to create your virtual environment using Kali Linux. I will go over the download and installation process, and then continue to demonstrate the procedure in following lectures.

How to install VirtualBox in a Windows environment

In this lecture, I will show you how to install VirtualBox within a Windows environment. Previously I showed you how to do it in a Linux environment, which is a bit more complex because you do need to add repositories and then pull the packet from the repositories. However in Windows, the process is fairly straightforward and simple.

How to install Kali Linux within a virtual environment.

In this lecture, I will continue with the installation of Kali Linux within a virtual environment. I will also go over more of the things you need to know about this installation. In the following lecture, after the installation is complete, I will show you how to configure it and introduce you to its interface.

How to configure Kali Linux in a virtual environment.

In this lecture, I will continue where we left off in the installation process of Kali Linux in a virtual environment. Now I will show you how to configure Kali Linux, as well as introduce you to the interface. I will also begin walking you through how to do the updates.

Now we will install VirtualBox guest additions.

Continuing from the last lecture, we are now going to go over how to install VirtualBox Guest Additions. We will be configuring source lists, which are lists of repositories from which your Linux distro actually pulls. We will also update the repositories. I will walk you through this whole process in real time.

Welcome to the Linux terminal!

Now let's import our proxies.

I this lecture, we will go over importing custom chains of proxies. We will look for proxies to import from countries that have good privacy policies, as well as proxies with the quickest up time and best reviews. I will walk you through in real time each step of importing these proxies.

What is VPN?

In this lecture, I am going to introduce you to VPNs. VPN, or virtual private network, is a network that is constructed by using public wires to connect to a private network. I will go over the basics as well as show you how you can actually connect to them.

Connecting to a VPN.

Continuing on from the last lecture, we will now actually connect to a VPN service provider. We will look for a suitable VPN on the internet and test it out. I will also show you how to prevent DNS leaks using VPN, because you will need to establish full tunnels as well.

Introduction to Nmap.

In this section, we will go over footprinting. First I will introduce you to Nmap, a security scanner that we will be using. I will go over all the basics in this lecture and set up for scans. Then in the next lecture, we will conduct a few scans to see how it all works.

Nmap scanning.

Continuing on from the last lecture, I will now show you how to do some actual scanning with Nmap. I will walk you through the process as I do it.

Using external resources with Nmap.

In this lecture, I will show you more stuff that you can do Nmap. Specifically, I will show you a way in which you can use to assign a physical location, namely a city, to an IP address. This involves using external resources in combination with Nmap, and scanning for vulnerabilities. It is a fairly easy process and here I will walk you through it.

Welcome to wireless hacking!

Now we will begin a section on wireless hacking. In this tutorial, I will introduce you to wifi hacking. I will go over the various encryptions: WEP, WPA, and WPA2, as well as the different methods for direct wireless hacking. We will then continue on in the follow-up tutorials, where I will walk you through the actual process, including how to install aircrack-ng and reaver.

Installing Aircrack and Reaver.

In this lecture, I will show you how you can install and configure Aircrack and Reaver. This are both tools that are used to crack passwords. Aircrack is pretty simple, however Reaver is a bit more involved, and I will spend the time showing you the steps and I do it myself.

Installing aircrack-ng and crunch.

Today I will show you how you can install aircrack-ng in Windows and crunch on Linux. I do not recommend using aircrack on Windows, however I will show you how to install it and use it. Then I will show you have to install crunch on Linux. We will then continue into the next lecture, where we will begin the cracking process.

Windows users – Learn how to set up a USB wireless adapter with VirtualBox

This lecture is an addition to the wireless part of the course. I have noticed in the discussions that Windows users were struggling with their virtualized environments and they were unable to access their wireless card. Here I will address those issues while demonstrating how to set up your USB wireless adapter with VirtualBox. In the following lecture, we will continue with the set up and hopefully solve any other problems that you may have.

Windows users – Learn how to set up a USB wireless adapter with VirtualBox, continued.

Continuing from the last lecture, we will finish setting up your USB adapter with VirtualBox. I will then show you a few more things that you need to know in order to have the proper set up.

Configuring your wireless network card to crack WiFi

Now that we have all the prep work done, our tools installed and system set up, I am now going to show you how to crack WiFi. In this tutorial, we will begin by configuring our wireless network cord. I will walk you through the whole process. Then we will continue on in the next tutorial, where I will show you how to perform a specific scan and capture a file that we will use to crack the encryption.

Capturing the file needed to crack the code.

Continuing on from the last lecture, we will now do a scan and capture the file that we need to crack the encryption. I will walk you through and go over each step. After this in the next tutorial, we will take apart the captured file and actually crack the code

.

Cracking the captured file.

Continuing from the last lecture, now we're going to do the actual cracking of the captured file. I will walk you through each step and show you different ways you can try it.

How you can perform a DoS attack on someone within the range of your wireless card.

In this lecture, we will discuss DoS attacks and I will show you how you can actually deny wireless access to almost anybody within the range of your wireless card. I will begin to walk you through the process and show you how to set up. We will continue on in the next lecture, where I will show you how you can deauthenticate a single client and see how that works out to improve our attack.

Deauthentiating a single clients on the wireless network and writing bash scripts

Continuing on from the last lecture, we will keep on with the DoS attack on wireless network. I will now show you how to deautheticate a single client. I will also show you how to write bash scripts and we will see how that works out.

Introduction to SSL strip

SSL strip converts HTTPS to HTTP. Basically it strips the SSL encryption, hence the name. When SSL is no longer encrypted and the data over the network is transmitted, you will be able to see user names and passwords of pretty much everyone in the network. In this lecture, I will go over the basics of SSL strip, as well as show you how to install it. In the following lecture, I will show you how to actually use it.

Configuring your network settings for SSL strip

Continuing from the last lecture, I am now going to show you how to configure your networks settings for SSL strip. You need to do this in order to be able to strip the SSL encryption from various packet. I will also go over the list of commands that you will need to know for this process.

Time to have some fun!

I've decided to do something a bit more fun, to ease the path so to speak. You will learn how to modify the browsing information of anybody that you can spoof. I'll show you quite a few tricks, such as flipping images on a website upside down, inserting text, add extra words to Google, etc. I will also show you how to do crazy things, like switch to fictional languages. This three-part lecture is primarily just for fun.

Configuring your machine to have some fun!

In this lecture, I am going to walk you through the configuration process. I will show you which scripts need to be downloaded beforehand. I will show you various ways to alter texts and images, using extensions like googlesearch.pl, asciiimages.pl, and other .pl extensions, and I will introduce you to the extensions themselves.

Introduction to Evil Twin

In this lecture, I will introduce you to Evil Twin method. This will complement a lot of other things along the way and things we've already done, primarily because evil twin allows you to steal all sorts of traffic. With this method, you are cloning the wireless access point and the clients that are authenticated to that access point. There is a lot of things which you can do with this, such as redirect all traffic to yourself. In the following lectures, I will show you how to configure necessary settings and how to actually monitor the traffic.

More on Evil Twin – Configuring your settings

In this lecture, we will continue with getting familiar with Evil Twin. I will now go over how to configure network settings so that there is a bridge between our fake wireless access point and our network interface. I will show you the list of commands that you need to run as well. We will continue into following tutorial, where I will show you how to monitor the traffic of somebody that is connected to your fake wireless access point, and how you can extract information.

How to monitor traffic in a clone network.

Here I am going to finish up with the Evil Twin section. Now I will show you how you can actually monitor all traffic that goes on the clone network that you have set up. I will introduce you to Wireshark, which is the tool that we will use to listen to traffic. Why is this important? It is important for many reasons: You will be able to see who is browsing what sort of content, you are able to see who is logging in to the back ends of the web servers, you are able to see somebody is using official email, etc. You are also able to see who is using which type of services on the net, and with that, you will be able to pick your target in a relatively easy fashion.

Introduction to Brute Force and how to use findmyhash to crack hashes.

Now we will begin a chapter on brute force cracking methods. I will show you how you can perform a brute force attack on a website in order to try to guess the combination of usernames and passwords. More specifically in this tutorial, I will begin by introducing you to the tools that you can use to crack hashes. We will begin with findmyhash in this tutorial and move on to the John the Ripper method in the following lectures.

Introduction to John the Ripper method.

In this tutorial, I will introduce you to the John the Ripper method to crack hashes within the Linux system. What makes this method really nice is that you can extract password hashes and then crack them later on. We will begin in this tutorial by going over the basics of John the Ripper, and then get started on using it. In the next tutorial, I will show you how you can actually extract the hash using John the Ripper and how you can crack it.
