-: The first penetration testing section 2 2
in this course is gonna be 3 3
the network hacking section. 4 4
The reason why I chose 5 5
to start with this, 6 6
because everything, 7 7
if you think of it, 8 8
is connected to a network. 9 9
So, whether you're target 10 10
is a personal computer, 11 11
whether it's a server, 12 12
whether it's a company 13 13
or even if it's just a website, 14 14
all of these systems 15 15
are actually connected to a network. 16 16
Literally when you just connect 17 17
to the internet, 18 18
you're connecting to a network 19 19
because the internet 20 20
is just a really really big network. 21 21
So, it is very important 22 22
that you understand 23 23
how networks work 24 24
and how devices communicate 25 25
with each other 26 26
before we actually move 27 27
into the next sections. 28 28
So, this section 29 29
is actually gonna be divided 30 30
into three subsections. 31 31
In the first subsection 32 32
we're gonna talk about 33 33
all of the attacks 34 34
that you can do 35 35
before connecting to a network. 36 36
So you literally just have a computer 37 37
with a network interface, 38 38
possibly a Wi-Fi adapter 39 39
and we're gonna see 40 40
what can you do now 41 41
before even connecting to anything. 42 42
In the section subsection 43 43
I'm gonna show you 44 44
how to crack Wi-Fi keys 45 45
and gain access to Wi-Fi networks, 46 46
whether they use WEP, 47 47
WPA, 48 48
or WPA2. 49 49
Once you have the access, 50 50
you can move to the third section 51 51
which will apply for both 52 52
Wi-Fi and wired networks. 53 53
All of the attacks that you will learn 54 54
in the third subsection 55 55
apply whenever you are able 56 56
to connect to the network. 57 57
Once you're able to gain access 58 58
to the network. 59 59
And here is where the real fun starts, 60 60
because you're gonna learn 61 61
a number of powerful attacks 62 62
that will allow you to intercept 63 63
the connections in the network 64 64
and capture everything sent in it, 65 65
including usernames, 66 66
passwords, URLs, chat messages, 67 67
and so on. 68 68
Not only that, 69 69
but you'll also be able to modify data 70 70
as it's being sent in the air. 71 71
So you'll be able to control the requests, 72 72
serve people fake updates, 73 73
inject evil code 74 74
into the pages that they load 75 75
and so many other cool things. 76 76
So everything in the third section 77 77
will apply for both Wi-Fi and wired networks.
