About this course
This course teaches you how to use the Metasploit framework to find and exploit system weaknesses. You will start by setting up a virtual lab with VirtualBox or VMware, then move into vulnerability scanning with Nessus. The core of the training covers exploitation techniques with Metasploit, including the 'pass the hash' method that works even when no known vulnerability exists. You will also learn post-exploitation steps such as maintaining access, running post modules, and collecting sensitive data from compromised systems.
The syllabus moves from basic concepts like creating labs and scanning vulnerabilities to advanced topics like password cracking and data collection. By the end, you will be able to run Metasploit exploits, maintain persistence on a system, and extract passwords or other sensitive information. The course is designed for beginners and covers the full workflow from lab setup to post-exploitation persistence.
This course is best suited for learners who already have a basic understanding of operating systems and networking. It does not cover advanced penetration testing methodologies or formal certification exam preparation. Learners seeking a more comprehensive ethical hacking path may prefer the alternative course 'Learn Ethical Hacking From Scratch', which offers 15 hours of content and a 4.6 rating, or 'Real-World Ethical Hacking: Hands-on Cybersecurity', which focuses on beginner-level hands-on scenarios at 11 hours.
